I just ordered a Rodent 9 - It must have gone on sale just before I ordered it.
The Swamprat site is down.
I ordered it on the Scrapyard website - I looked in the place order and saw 4 knifes for sale and thought Scrapyard has a new knife out? Already?
But it wasn't a Scrapyard - they have the Rodent 9 by Swamp Rat listed for $198.95. I copied the sepecs below.
Rodent 9 (by Swamp Rat)
The Rodent 9 is the first of the Rodent '11 Series to be offered. Featuring a 9 1/2" long blade of SR-101 steel with our new and exclusive Ultra Convex Bevel the Rodent 9 has proven to be a very effective chopper and all around great camp knife. Our new Ultra Convex Bevel delivers the toughness and strength benefits of a convex grind coupled with the overall superior cutting geometry of a near full-height flat grind. Our Ultra Convex bevel is a mere 1 degree off flat, CNC bevel, that rises to within less than 5/16" from the spine. Killer strength combined with superior cutting geometry is what the new Ultra Convex bevel is all about. 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
