Just before the world shut down in early 2020, we began working on a prototype for the knife you see here today. To say we had a few setbacks might be an understatement: Covid shutdowns, 2 major hurricanes, and building a new shop just to name a few. We kept our nose to the grindstone (quite literally in some cases) and pushed forward because we knew folks wanted this knife and we needed to do whatever it took to get it to them. So over the past 2 1/2 years we’ve searched tirelessly to locate materials and commission parts from only the finest sources throughout the US and EU. Each lock is skillfully filed, each spring is hand-bent, each blade is carefully sharpened, and each knife is meticulously built in-house to the exacting standards for which we’ve become known. All this to provide you with a quality folding knife with rock solid lockup. So in other words, the Mudbug is officially back! New Features: -Stainless hardware for better adjustment and serviceability -Stop pin for added rigidity and to eliminate lock bar slap/compression when closed -Bronze pivot washers for smooth operation -Hand filed/buffed lock fitment, tuned individually to ensure rock solid lockup for each knife. -Hand bent spring, tuned to each knife. -3D machined Ergonomic burlap micarta handle scales Specifications: -Length Open: 8 1/4” -Length Closed: 4 5/8” -Blade Thickness: ” -Approximate Weight: -Blade Steel: D2 -Scales: Burlap Micarta (Natural, Teal, Black, White) -Lock Type: Lockback -Optional Sheath: Leather-Pancake -Build Info: Built in Sulphur, LA. Parts/materials from US and EU -Price: $195 Sales Information: -The Mudbug will be released on Monday, November 21 online and in-person at our local outlet, Louisiana Power Equipment (870 N. Beglis Pkwy Sulphur, LA) -Local/In-person sales will begin at 10AM -Online sales will begin at Noon CST -No holds or early sales. No exceptions. -No phone, email, or social media sales. -International sales: We will not be accepting international sales at this time due to the logistics and complications with shipping abroad, especially regarding knives. We are working toward a solution for this issue and hope to begin selling internationally soon. -We have completely overhauled our website on a much more robust platform since our last Mudbug release and don’t anticipate any issues. With that said, these will be selling fast, so if you are experiencing an issue, it is likely due to low/no stock left. We will not have time to answer questions during the sale (email, phone, or social media), so please continue to try if you do have an issue. If you don’t get in on this batch, more will be available soon. ***Please Note***: Since this is the first Mudbug release in over 2 years, we expect for the stock to sell fast, however, we will be releasing subsequent batches very shortly. So if you don’t get your hands on a Mudbug this time around, you will have another chance very soon. Part of the beauty of building these in-house is that we have much greater control over supply and plan to release batches as soon as they are built. So more Mudbugs will be available, more frequently.
