Lab Rats Are Coming . . . The Lab Rats Are Coming!!!!

The Lab Rats are coming? . . . What does that mean?

Over the past 40 years we have purchased tons of steel which we have heavily used, abused, and tested. We have jokingly referred to these test blades as "Lab Rats".

These knives feature heavily tweaked heat-treats and deep cryogenic cycles (-300 below zero).

These have typically been relatively simple designs with many different blade shapes that span many, if not all, areas of knife usage and applications.

Now, you will have a chance to score some of these new Swamp Rat designs made from a variety of these steels.

The first up will be a 5 1/2" killer cool Urgent Fury style blade made out of a rare Ball Bearing steel.

Perhaps a "Name the knife contest" would be a good way to kick off this small run, since there are a number of nameless knives in the "Lab Rat" series.

Stay tuned for pics and possibly a name-the-knife contest!!!

Let's Drink!

Check back in a year? Or maybe sooner?
 
I can’t think of a name at the moment, but if these little pups keep the large guard from the larger Urgent Fury I’m 100% in!! 🤞

If they do I’m pretty sure these will be the shortest fighters with large/90 degree guards in the Busse family. ❤️

Edit: Just saw the pics and it’s a nice looking knife but that’s a negative on the guard. :(
