No one did. But how many SR101 knives did SRKW produce last year? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I'll make it easy for you.
NONE! And in case you're not aware of it, last year was the first year in the history of the company that it didn't produce an SR101 knife. In fact, SRKW only produced one model during the entire year last year . . . the Hairy Carry. That marks the lowest overall production in the company's history.
If that's the best Swamp Rat can do, why keep the company going? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
I think before you "make it easy" for Vic you might want to clarify that
1)you were referring to the number of SR101 knives produced last year that were offered to the general public when you said
"NONE!", and
2)YOU, actually have NO idea how many SR101 blades were produced by SRKW last year.
Unless you have some inside information that the rest of us do not, how do you know that they stopped all of their military production?
The truth is that none of us know how many knives any of the three companies make. The fact that they didn't release any SR101 to the public doesn't mean anything as far as the rise and fall of the company.
Now, please do not think I am picking on you bld522, because I am not, and I too would like to see the Swamp come out with some new releases. I just think that some of us are jumping to conclusions a little to quickly here. Let's not dig SRKW's grave just yet.
I think the Swamp will be back stronger than ever. If you just stop and think about it for a minute, all of this is very Busseish. Jerry has always had rather unique/abnormal marketing strategies, and it would not surprise me a bit if this entire lapse was planned from the get go. Heck, I can see Jerry kicked back reading this thread and laughing his [censored] off!
