So she wouldn't take your order huh? If I remember correctly, the Taliwacker was a Busse knife and their only one to be made in SR101. Tom is sure to know, I think he has an original.

It was my understanding that Swamp Rat would be making it. The Tali- Whacker was the first and only Busse model to use SR101 and it gave birth to Swamp Rat Knife Works.

I am not sure but after seeing the magazine ad I know I want a couple of the knives that will be available.
I had one of the original Tali-Wacker's, and it will feel good to replace it. Bring it!

I think that Swamp's logo is somewhat visible if you look at the pic in person.
And I don't think Yard has hit 10 years yet...

Sumo is right. The Swamp Rat logo IS on the Taliwhacker CG in the Busse Happy Anniversary ad in Blade magazine.

Ok, I've got a Proposition for Dan and Jerry. MAKE THREE! 1. Taliwhacker Prestige from Busse Combat. Taliwhacker made out of INFI (of course). 2. Taliwhacker Satin or Competition Finish from the Swamp. 3. Taliwhacker CG From Dan. AND make it in Black, Tan, and Olive Drab! Something for everyone! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think it is a little sad for the few original Taliwhacker owners, because if they reproduce a "hard to find" knife like this, the originals will lose value.
I have one of the few taliwhackers , if I remeber correctly there are only 50 taliwhackers in civilian hands.
I think it is one of the greatest knife because there are so hard to find and they mean more then just a knife, thinking on the occasion they where made for... 09/11

RS1130, From the way the Ad looks I don't think the originals will be devalued. They are marked differently. In the Anniversary ad, they are ONLY marked Swamp Rat.
