Does anyone know if Swamp Rats are made in the same location using the same equipment as Busses?

" Here's how it stands at this point in time. The Busse facility will be used during off-hours, (nights and weekends) in order to prevent the interruption of the everyday happenings of our regular business. Our original office space, which although on the same property, is housed in a different building, and has been remodeled. An entirely new staff has been hired to handle production and administration. The Swamp Rat production line will be run as a completely separate business, but will be a division of Busse Knife Co."

Thanks for that link, although it looks to be a few years old at this point.
What I was thinking unfortunately was that with Jerry seemingly constantly "bringing it" with no shortage of new designs, knives, etc., if the SR knives were made using the same equipment, then it would likely be a long time before we saw more from the Swamp. :grumpy:
If that is the case, I completely understand that as a business decision. After all, the Busse forum is very active in all sorts of ways whereas it is much less so here. Still, it doesn't mean that I don't wish SR would come out with their next model. IMO, though, you have to be more patient to get a SR than a new model Busse.
