Ghostbear,

Thanks for your post - I think you just saved me some money ... at least until Doug brings out another ETS product. I have a BK10 (much better than the BK2, whose blade is waaay too thick), and have been waiting patiently for word on the Ritter fixed blades. With the news of the Camillus strike I've been wondering if I should buy a BK7.

BUT now I may just hold off and enjoy the BK10 instead ... until the next ETS product comes out.

Yes, unfortunately the situation at Camillus has impacted production of the RSK Mk2 Ritter/Becker fixed blade. Could not have come at a worse time. That's about all I can say on the matter.

Well, I'll wait for the RSK fixed blade for sure now. I was just fixing to break down and buy something else. Coincidently, that design similar to the Campanion with the thumb rest and longer blade is just the exact thing I have been looking for (dreaming of!). Those added features shown is just what I was wishing the Campanion had. I'll go with whichever Doug comes out with because I am so satisfied with my RSK MKI folder.

I just ordered a BSA lockback folding hunter by Camillus for my son, I had no idea of the state the company is in. His mom has an SAK for him for boyscouts which is asking for him to get cut, I told her not to let him use it.. Its just my opinion, but I hate non-locking folders.

Are there news about die RSK-Fixed from Benchmade?
