Dice has made an excellant point and LeatherDog as well. I am dedicated to the Yard and Busse but one of the things that I look forward to is the opinions that people have with other knives as well as long as it is civil. We should never and have never got out of control and I have never seen any heated debates. We all have various interests that help us all when we need advice. As long as we do not harm SYKW, and we don't then I see nothing wrong.

Dan has been gracious with us and works hard to bring us all steel. It is not easy but they do their best! That is all we can hope for and that is what makes our knives worth it when we get them as well.

I do not want to see us losing people because of this and I think that we have already lost two if you count HornDog's post on page one and Scrappy just above me. I do not want the Yard to fall because of this.

Truth be told that no matter what we discuss we are very loyal and I think that it translates to the newcomers as well..... That is why you see so much action here, everyday. But unfortunately if that is taken away I am afraid that more will leave.

I for one am staying! I love the Yard and chatting with you guys! I have not been on here that much as I have been doing tons of local history research that in the end may make a bang! But I have also been busy modifying two cheap blades for my primitive kit that are in no way competition to SYKW and I will post picks later because you guys will love them!

We are the Yard! And the Junk Yard Dogs have set a great example for all of those who are not and that says something as well! On other forums people who have the highest title usually turn it into a click!

Believe me, when the new steel comes there will be nothing but posts about it and only it.

I hope this makes sense as I have not had any coffee yet!
