yah. How long have they been doing custom swamp rats? They don't advertise it.  You have to email them for details on custom orders - colors, prices, etc.

You know you can custom shop a Rodent 9 with a different color blade and grips. Problem is that I scored one for $215 used with AZWelke sheath.  I like it, but I might prefer the 911.. In that case, get the 911 and take them for a test run. keep the one you like the most.. or both If Dan released an 11-11 it would be any easy decision...Something about an 11" blade just really appeals to me, especially if it weighs close to a B11.

I have no clue as to the weights of future knives.. but I was a little shocked to notice that the 711 weighs more than the B10.
