I saw Eric at Knob Creek and he was well. I find Swamp Rat to be strange -- both their "real" forum and their BladeForums sub-forum seem to get get little attention compared to the other divisions. Also, they've had a run of good releases since the RMD re-release a couple years back, but I've seen periods where they go for many months with no releases and empty shelves.
Also, now probably isn't the best time to be expecting much; Swamp Rat sent lots of knives to Knob Creek and Blade is coming fast. I expected to hear about a Knob Ganza over on the Busse sub-forum, but I haven't seen a thing -- perhaps they plan to take all the leftovers to Blade. If so, attendees will be in for a treat; even picked over, there was a lot of fine steel left on the tables.
Good to know Eric is alive and well
