I am planning on getting an RMD at blade, but the S5 looks to be an everlasting favorite! Unless you have a line on a secondary market RMD from someone attending Blade, I don't think you'll find one there. RatManDus haven't been in production for quite a while; looking back in my email archive, the last ones I bought retail were on 8/14/2007. The last one I saw at Knob Creek was a year ago. You can still find them on the BladeForums Exchange occasionally, but most folks who have RMDs hold onto them, and when they do come up, they sell fairly quickly -- good hunting -- if successful, you'll likely agree that they're worth the quest.

The Scrapper 5 is doing something right to generate this much pre-release buzz. If the LE does come out in Infi you will see things rise to an even higher pitch. +1

I am more excited about this release then any other, ever. Already a legend and soon to be a classic!

Hey thanks for the heads up Jim! The RMD was actually the first blade I ever saw that was Bussekin. It started it all, so-to-speak!
Enjoy every sandwich.

The mudder grips feel really good in your hands.

My only concern about the S5 (well, not exactly my only concern, since steel type and price are still up in the air, so more accurately, a concern) is how it'll balance; it looks great and I suppose the specs will be similar to the Bog Dog (which had a 4 1/2-inch blade). However, I'd prefer it be neutrally balanced as opposed to blade heavy.

I was looking at picking up a RMD but I think the S5 will be better for me since it will have the mudder grips. JMHO

I look forward to getting the opportunity to make the comparison, I really like the RMD, but the S5 with Mudders is really gunna be something special! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I've never held a RMD, but it's doesn't have mudders.. So i'm gonna put my money on the S5!
