You might be right Bruce. At least for us newbies as I for one haven't seen any life over there so never bothered to register.And- not even making that steel an option on my " want to buy list" except on something like the CT on the secondary market. With that being said I now plan my purchases around the SY and perhaps the the Busse knives. Up to now I have stayed away from the Busse as it just doesn't fit my needs. Or- maybe I should say it is overkill for me. Swamprat on the other hand would fit very nicely with my SY knives and I would welcome each release I am sure. At this point I have faced reality and moved my want list over and looking at some other steel to feed my addiction. In the future-I might just go ahaed and start buying and collecting the Busse- but for now I am in a holding pattern. In my opinion all the Busse steel-INFI-77-101 is great. Just my thoughts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />-Thanks

what pisses me off the most is the lack of word from Eric or SR and just kinda letting us Rats kinda wonder into the darkness. dont just lead me off a cliff, tell me its coming. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Might also be the case where folks were buying Rat and SY and that took care of their addiction. In other words - pull the Rat stuff and folks buy Busse.On the other hand I have heard that they have massive amounts of military contracts and the SY and Rat is just a hobby ? That being the case I can well understand their position and am happy with whatever I get from the yard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. For you guys that have been here a long time it is the feeling like you were loyal and now it is gone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. Us newer guys never had this- but can sure understand where you are coming from. Thanks

you might be right ord.

i was here when the swamp was alive and wonderful. hell, i remember having the chopweiler, mini mojo, rat ice pick, wardens, and tons of sheaths SITTING in the store!!!!!!!!!!

i dont care though. i loved the swamp, but i feel they have let us down not by not putting out anything but by NOT telling its loyal customers what the _____ is going on. ya know.

Dan and SY are it for me. they talk, then they walk! and of course, theres always busse combat. im perfectly fine with SY and BC to be honest. i just hate to see the swamp absolve itself in such a disgraced way.

I'm going to be optimistic... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I look forward to some cool SR101 blades in the future... hopefully near future! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I would love to see a re-release of the Ratweiler! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Matter fact that's worth saying twice!

I would love to see a re-release of the Ratweiler! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How about some of the SR favorites re-released in INFI?? How's that for a thought?

INFI RMD? Interesting!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

ANYthing in SR101 (52100) would be awesome!!! I've beaten the heck out of my CW and it still begs for more. I can't afford INFI, but I may be able to squeeze SR101 into the budget if it ever comes.
