thanks for the explanation skunk, kinda figured it was something like that.
thats pretty cool cause i hear that you can only find certain knives at these shows. good way to get some of those blades.

sounds like a good setup <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yup, some knives are ONLY sold at the shows. ALSO at KNOB CREEK.

have youve ever been to any of those show? you think they would have any Mud Puppy LE's or Birddogs? or is it once a LE is done selling in the online store they dont even sell them at shows either?

Never been to one of them. It's POSSIBLE some of them may show up from the factory, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Also from what I have heard several folks take their own knives with them to sell. My recomendation (for what it's worth) is IF you go hang around the BUSSEKIN area and talk to all the folks and see if you can score what you want.

awesome. ive been lookin for a mud puppy for a while now. they hardly ever come up.

do you have a favorite bussekin knife?

I would like a Dogfather first, and then a SOD or a Chopweiler second. I have an S5 green handle mossy blade, but it is really bigger than I will NORMALLY use a knife this size for. Don't get me wrong, it is a GREAT outdoor size. But I would rather have something with a blade as close to 3 1/2 inches, and not over as possible, with a full handgrip handle.

thats cool. my favorite would be the SOD with the Muk right behind it. i think im gonna really like the swamp warden for edc.

gotta get up early tomorrow, better get some sleep.

ill see you later skunk.

oK, NITE Tony.

Morning skunk, how's things

Ok, I finally got my simple first aid kit back together. The majority is in a Pelican case that's 7x5x3 inches and a second multi compartment case that has 3 pair of rubber gloves in the top single compartment and several doses of immodium, sudafed, advil, tylenol and benedryl. I would like to have some muscle relaxers or darvacet but unless they were in the prescription bottles and was a current prescription it would get me in trouble here in Missouri. The bottles would take up more room than I want to use so I will just have to pass on them, at least for now. Now if it all goes down hill, all bets are off.
