Does anyone have a source for left over blanks or are they all bought up, as of late? I just found out they were no longer going to be manufacturing.

Hi Jonathan,
They are not a sponsor but I know the Aussie owner. They are not closing, blanks will continue to be manufactured. To the best of my knowledge a former disgruntled employee has spread the rumour of closure and we all know what to do with rumours, get the facts before you believe anything.

Interesting that is good to hear, it appears people are treating it as more than a rumor as some of the major dealers are reporting the same thing when I called to try and place orders.

Rumors seem to have a life of their own. Next thing you know I'll be living in a shed behind my Aunt's house, sorting cork here at the shop, hating America and its military veterans, or causing a rod building club to reprint their magazine.

You can't stop rumors, but you don't have to believe them nor fall for them. When in doubt, pick up the phone and call the party in question.
