I'm not sure why the
http://swampratknives.com/ is basically abandoned; it has been since I started collecting Bussekin knives a couple years ago. The "Rat Chat" link is the only reason that I can envision anyone visiting that Web site, and the Rat board is nowhere near as active as Scrap Yard's.
Eric Isaacson operates the Swamp Rat store from
http://www.shop.ratknives.com/main.sc -- It absolutely amazes me that they don't link to that site from swampratknives.com. It's like trying to get into Hernando's Hideaway ("knock three times and whisper low. That you and I were sent by Joe. Then strike a match and you will know. That you're in Hernando's Hideaway...OLÉ") -- if you don't know the secret, you simply can't buy from Swamp Rat. I generally follow Swamp Rat from their BladeForums sub-forum.
