I just checked the Swamp Rat Company Store. They show a Hairy Carry LE available for sale. I don't know if that's for real, or a clerical error, or what. But this is fair warning for anyone who wants the Harry Carry.

Alas.
That's what I understood, too. Until I saw that Hairy Carry apparently for sale.
If they are dead, they ought not to pretend to be alive. Offering a knife for sale that is really unavailable is bad business practice. That sort of thing can sully a company’s reputation and help kill it for real.

implume, the swamp is dead in terms of activity. the hairy carry is available as offered to my knowledge. however, they havent had any movement or talk of a new blade in forever. its sad. then again, nothing is like home here on the Yard so it is what it is.
i think jerry might be phasing out the swamp, who knows. i've heard it all.

yeah,i worry about the swamp.
its that perfect area of blade types and material that fits right in perfect between busse and scrapyard.
they said they where going to come out with the "rodent" line and eric pretty much hinted that they would be smaller EDC type pieces as opposed to the larger camp knives and choppers.
i would bet money that the rodent line will mainly be a bunch of that 154CM they used on the HC,MPLE & BDLE which is fine with me but i pray that swamprat still makes high carbon fixed blades with micarta slab handles.
the CW,RMD & HRLM are just about perfect imo.
if they stop doing it hopefully the yard will pick up on some extended tang slab handle pieces because res-c isnt my first choice and i dont and cant pay busse prices every time to get something without res-c.

I never heard about the Rodent being a line of small stainless knives, either. But if it is true, maybe the Yard can get some SR101 for some offerings. Maybe it's nothing, but it seems like something has happened to the Swamp.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Maybe Dan and Jerry can offer some insight into this mystery concerning thier sister company.
I, for one, have fallen in love with their blades from just playing with the Crash Axe and HCLE I managed to get my grubby hands on. I would truly be saddened to hear a company I've just come to appreciate is relegated to the annals of knife history before I had truly had a chance to become properly familiarized with them.
Smoke sent in the hopes they continue to play an integral part in my love of all things sharp and pointy.

I'm personally thinking family issues on the SR end,and I won't go any deeper than that. Will it survive..who knows, but it will be a sad day if it does not.
