I agree Bruce. No need for a test- but IF it is a test model shouldn't cost that much. I am feeling a bit left out. First the Khuk- then the Regulator and now a new Swamp is going to be at Blade. Seems to me they should just release them and let the loyal folks on the boards have a shot at them. I know I haven't been here that long- but I have bought a pile of knives- post on the board as much as possible- have funds to buy whatever I want and am being punished for not going to Blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />? I;ll take one Khuk- at least two Regulators and a couple of the new Rodent series to boot. The hell with the " test" - I want to USE the [censored] things as I already KNOW they are GREAT blades <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Oh well- maybe my thinking is messed up- but if someone has great products like these- seems they should let the folks that have been spending have first shot. In other words the loyal customers.
