I was searching for a "RAT"-5 (which I bought) and ran across Swamp "Rat" and after much reading I found Scrapyard. I have alway liked Spyderco, Sog, some of some of Cold Steel's stuff and a few others. I even picked up a Chris Revees GB 7" because I couldn't buy a scrapper 6 or any of the Swamp Rats that I wanted. But then I started looking around on Bladeforums and found a SS4 and BOY things haven't been the same since. Matter fact I was tring to pick up a Merc Workx Sniper and the deal fell thru so I went for the SS4. Very happy with the SS4!
