Very sad to hear the negativity. Like you, I have no idea how many knives I own. Hinderer, Atwood, 500 dollar Gizmo lights, but at the end of the day the 'Dogs' are pretty much all I use. Are they worthy of glamour shots? Maybe not.... but I care about use and performance over anything. Long live the Yard!

Left in the elements for months at the cabin. Quick strop... good as new.

and the scrap max is the most used knife I own. You could process a blue whale and still manscape....I do not recommend that.
