I just looked at both Busse and Swamp Rat's sites and.. the ratmandu is not present. Is it gone now?
 
Please don’t!!!

Kabar never quit on the 1217

The RMD is a Classic!!
 
I'd be sad to see the RMD go... but if it means evolving it into something better, maybe!

Bring on the evolution of the RMD - RatManDeux!
 
Noooooo!!!! I needed to get out of the doghouse first before I could order two more!!!! Though, to be fair, that COULD take a loooooong time.....
 
Oh no. I wonder if I grabbed the last one. Should have it in the next few days. It's my first, so was going to order another color if I liked this one.

At least you got one! I'm sure they probably pop up on the exchange. But I'm not too worried, if they took it away, they're probably replacing it with something else special! A "new classic", I bet!

The TGULB and Trough Raider are a relatively new addition to the site. They were only available for limited runs before. The TGULB, especially, is one of those "new classics" that's worthy of being there as an icon. The Trough Raider is a killer design too... I just personally don't have much utility for that thickness that that design. Still a killer cool blade nonetheless!

We've already seen RMDX, I hope you are correct that it will be evolving into something with a MEGA treatment similar to the Beefmandu @ .35 with compound grind and maybe a bit longer blade.
 
Glad to see a long overdue series of updates at all the Busse knife websites even if some of the blades are missing. That is, assuming WYSIWYG.

Thanks Jerry,
Dan

Hope it’s temporary. This is the blade I always tell people to get into the Busse kin as they can buy direct and for a great price.
