Somebody else who knows the exact story may chime in. This is what I can deduct from conversation, Dan's time and efforts are currently with contracts...not sure if military or other. Garth runs Busse Custom Shop. Josh has been running Swamp Rat for a while. Beef is now in charge of Swamp Rat Custom shop. Dan is still the man in the Yard, but is busy with additional stuff. Pokey was recognized as one of the top grinders. This is just a guess here but Jennifer(Jerry' wife) is now in charge of a bunch of little ones.

Like I said, take it with a grain of Salt, but that is what I learned at blade...and most of it was passed on from others

Makes sense to me. But it WOULD be nice if Dan was to tell us "Sorry guys but I am up to my butt working on government contracts of one sort or another".

I don't think that anyone would really complain to much if we knew that Dan was "takin care of our Boys and Girls".

Just my 2 cents, which won't even buy you a piece Bazooka these days.

Bazookas? Those are in the hundreds of thousands!

I bought another rifle I couldn't afford. Now I need to sell something for that! Forget about another knife! Anyone need a 300blk carbine?

Of course, I should have realized, Bazooka bubble gum was WAY before your time.

Boy, that would be sweet DT, but I am contemplating another Pistol AND a $200.00 IWB holster! I must be lacking a few brain cells.

Oh I don't figure I'll be buying any new knife very soon either.

Notice how I made this fit in with the theme of this thread.

I agree. In fact, I believe when the Regulator was being sold the Dogs had to wait a couple months due to a Military order...no one complained. I think it could be more "Hollywood" oriented, that's where the money is

MM

Yeah, too busy to drop a line to customers for months seems a little off.
The wife got tired of waiting for me to buy a new dog, so she bought one instead for our herd guardian breeding program refresh down the road. There went my dog budget, but this one is cute and she even comes with automatic sharpening.

I guess I could have stepped in and told you guys.

My Marine Corps public affairs shop placed a custom order for 1 million Scrap Yard staple removers. Apparently it has taken Dan's complete attention to fulfill this order as we need the staple removers ASAP. The inspector general is coming soon and we must remove some "questionable" gear purchases from our records. Tearing out a page may leave evidence, so we need specialized gear to make clean removals.

That said, sorry to make you all wait for a new knife.

Semper fi,
Warren

Thanks a lot, LOL.

I guess he would have been successful as a comedian as well.
