Some of you might not have seen. But, there is a new sticky over on the Swamp Rat Sub-forums at Bladeforums with a pretty decent list of Weights and specs for most of the main Swamp Rat Releases along with most of the Scrap Yard main releases and many of the more common Busse releases.

There are a few holes that need filled in the specs mostly in weights and a few in thicknesses.

So, if you have a good digital scale and can provide "Accurate" weights and/or if you have calipers and can provide "accurate" thicknesses, please post on the thread for the missing specs to help fill in.

See: Specs and Weights of Swamp Rat Knives
