It's strange how i ended up with the CT. Back when you could order swamprat knives from the actual website much like here at the Yard , I fell in love with the BattleRat. So I ordered one, but month after month went by and still no word. So I sent an e-mail to see what was up and they told me that they had gotten a whole batch of BR's with the blade coating all screwed up. I asked what models they had available for immediate shipment, and the CT was one of them. So a few days later a shiny new CT was on the front step, and I was hooked. Never did get a BR which I still regret. I dont think i'd want to pay an aftermarket price,and I love my Tramp. I sure hope I can find a Dogfather from the Yard that would help ease the pain hee hee. Thank god you guys still use the Resiprene-c. sorry to ramble on
