I think I might literally poop mysef if they re-released the SAR...

The Swamp is live and well and is backed up by what I have seen

Same here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

So, I guess you could say that they're....Swamped. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

Howdy, sir! She's awesome- asleep with mama right now as I get ready to go to work for a few hours. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Used to be a very active forum but since SY came in, the Swamp is neither here nor there. They lost their iconic ResC line and their Micarta ones are OK but nothing really earth-shattering. Wouldn't be surprised is they stopped.

In the past you had delivery issues but every year they came out with one or two uebercool knives plus the normal line-up. The pics above say it all. Mind boggling if you think that in a short time frame they brought out blades that screamed buy me. They made Busse look like some overpriced collector toy. Rats were the real thing. The Ratmandu is a great knife (got 2 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ) but the HC, please, it is just a small knive nothing special. Then they had the Ganza models to keep the fans drooling. Maybe the Rodent line whenever it comes will be a revival but I think they have problem with their pricing strategy, they can't compete with SY and are probably told to stay away from the higher margin Busse blades.

Since the Mandu I haven't bought from them, the original stuff now comes from SY. I really wish Eric would finally chim in on the rodent line.

Still waiting for the Rodent line.

I have always liked the swamp rats, but I got in on them late in the game. The ratmandu and HRLM are just about perfect. The chopweiler and ratweilers are at the top of the 7.5" blade food chain, at least until the SOD arrives. I'd love to have a SAR. I am anxious to see the new rodent line, too.

Eric, update us dawgs on the Swamp!!! we love Rats too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I like the DJ. A friend of mine has a couple that I had a chance to play with.
Really nice handling knife.

I'm lucky enough to have the RMD and the DJ and they are both amazing knives. The DJ has a smidge more blade and is a lot of knife for the weight. The DJ is basically a thin Satin Jack. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The RMD has a slightly better handle with more belly to hold and a more secure grip.
