I'd never heard of them before Flipper mentioned them yesterday in a thread about pocket knives. Their site is interesting, if very aggressive. Their product line looks solid and they boast the best warranty. Does anyone here have experience with them or their knives? What do you think?

The are a sub company of Busse combat. If you never heard of Busse knives you don't know knives.

Busse has long bragged about their toughest steel in the form of knives.
Whether its true or not is the question but one thing is for sure no other manufacturer will replace your knife if you break it for any reason your fault or not. That says something.

I own a Swamp Rat and it is without a doubt the toughest steel thats easy to sharpen and holds an edge better than any knife I have yet to come across.

Don;t take my word for it. Research it yourself or try one.

For what you get they are priced nice too.

For what its worth.

No experience whatsoever with their knives.

They do seem to have an almost cult-like following.

I've got to play with one and it was an extremely nice solid knife. I haven't heard anything but good stuff about them.

Drink the PURPLE cool-aid, not the red cool-aid. <img src="/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Actually, at Jonestown, it was grape Flavor-Aid . Kool-Aid has ben getting a bum rap about that for years.

They have a pretty nice survival forum also. I lurk there often. I've heard a lot of good things about their knives, but it was all on their own forum so I thought the opinions might be a little biased. It's good to hear good things about Swamp Rat knives here.

Also, Moine (David) posts both here and there. I'm sure he has some good things to say about Swamp Rat knives.

I've had a Camp Tramp for a couple of years (just after it came out.)

It's one tough bugger.

I've always been a smaller knife with a hatchet guy, and even though the 7" blade looked HUGE to start, I'm now addicted.

The resperine handled must be tried to be believed. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
