When I went to bed last night I wondered what I would read in this post in the am. I'm torn. I recognize that this is Dan's house. His house his rules. I also recognize that this is by name a Scrap Yard Forum. Some one mentioned earlier that off topic posts on other forums are moved, and I understand that. I've come to see the yard as more than just a manufacturer's forum, but a place to come home to.

When I first got turned onto high quality knives from the Busse family I spent most of my time reading posts over at BF. Once I started reading and contributing here I basically stopped reading BF other than to pop on to see if anything interesting has come up for sale. I saw this as a much friendlier alternative to BF.

This was a place I could come and learn about knives and steel and related topics. I love knives. Love them Love them Love them. I think most people here are the same. Scrap Yard knives are definately my favorite. I think most people here are the same as well. I hope this blows over quickly and we can move past this.
