Just ordered Rodent 9 by Swamp rat thru Scrapyard!

Hi All, I just happened to look at the Place order page and saw that they have the Rodent 9 by Swamp Rat up for sale so I jumped on it and ordered one.

$198.95 Specs: Blade Length: 9 1/2" OAL: 15 1/4" Steel: SR-101 Hardness: 58-60 RC Thickness: 1/4" Handles: Black Canvas Micarta Blade Width: 1 5/8" Grind: Ultra Convex Saber Bevel

Oh man I have spent way too much on knifes the last couple of months but I could not pass on this.

I just checked the swamprat website and it is under construction - I'll bet thats why they are selling the Rodent 9 here.

I'm in:)

Or that drunk guy is at it again. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

drodent -- thanks for your post! I just finished ordering one myself!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I liked this knife from the first time that I picked it up at Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So it seems there are no handle options at this time. Seeing as the credit card is screaming and a Rucki due soon, I think I'll wait a little to see if I can get a matching red/black handle.

How did that new handle feel. I'm curious about that guard.

The handle felt good! I think that a lot of folks will want to get this knife!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The handle definetly is different looking and is one of the reasons I ordered as soon as I saw it.

I'm sure Dan will offer a 911 so other big blades will become available but this handle looks unique enough that I wanted one.

And I hope its not the drunk posting error again because I spread the news here and at Bladeforums.

I also ordered the 10" sheath hopefully they fit.

I did receive order confirmation already.

Man I gotta join an knife lover additction group.

You're not alone Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That beauty is still up there on the order page. Convex grind! Very nice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Vic, you would love this knife! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the heads up!

drodent deserves all the credit for posting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks drodent:)

Well it ain't there no more, that was quick.

CongRats to those who scored!

It must have been a mistake. The Rodent 9 is not on the Swamp Rat order page either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

YOWZA!!!

You HOGS are fast!!!!!!

That was supposed to be a private test run!!!

I think our programmer must have hit the wrong key!!!

No worries though. . . If you ordered on that page. . . you are in!

You will also be the first to receive the Killer New Rodent 9 ! ! ! ! !

Congrats HOGS!!!!!

Maybe those dirty Rats will learn a thing or two. . . . . . Poor little ol' cheese eaters NEVER had a chance against those Hungry Ol' HOGs!!!

Jerry

YOWZA is right - I knew I shoulda ordered two!

Its wierd I feel really happy that I saw this and ordered right away - spending money should not make me feel so good.

CongRats to all who got in early <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

anyone snag a pic?

Ha, well that was quick, my buddy was waiting and crossing his fingers till the 30th hoping a 9 series would release, or he was gonna grab a Fehrman, looks like that choice is made now being he hasn't seen this yet.

Was there a pic? Did it look the same as the one at Blade????

Ok. Missed that.

I used to want a fehrman but think the SWKW 911 is the way to go.



That handle! Man it's tempting. Time to get out the M9LE and hopefully forget about this 911 until they leave the store.

For anybody on the fence.... I want to say that I managed to sell a CGFBM, DDF, and BWM but never considered selling my M9LE. Just sayin... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Boy you can't take a nap around here without missing something

NUTS! (well, I'm a squirrel, what did you THINK I'd say? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

I sure hope the blade is still being offered when the site is back online!

Having a job to pay for these knives means that you miss out on these special deals sometimes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Jerry said someone jumped the gun and that it was supposed to be just a test, he said anyone who ordered would be getting theirs though.

+1. i haven't bought anything since the rodent waki.

yes, that long.

Although it was just a "test run" according to Jerry, they WILL be offered again pretty soon! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Eric at the Swamp has, in fact, confirmed that these will be offered "soon."

Looks like they'll be in the Ganzaa tomorrow night, I mean Friday night.

Ganzaa! You gettin in on that Spidy?

Morning Randy! I'll have to pass on the Ganzaa, they never come at a good time for me. I have some other minor, but necessary expenses right now. I'll be working anyway.

Congratulations to those that score though!

I was too busy this week at work to spend much time here, but I did manage to see this posting in time and snag one myself before it disappeared! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
