For the Record, I do not know how Scrapyards Business is run. So I do not know how items or materials will last, but I was right about the DF, since it is still around and all of you thought it was going to be gone in less than half a day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Anyway, The very meaning of Scrapyard knives is that they are using the leftovers from both Busse and SwampRats. So let's look at this. Busse originally used Resiprene in their Basics. Swamp rat used it in their original line. How much Resiprene is left? Enough to make 10,000 maybe 20,000 knives? I doubt more than that?

Steels. Ok, Jerry has experiemented with countless steels including vascowear ATS34, A-2 and Damascus. His stock of SR77 can't be more than say several thousand pounds? Maybe 20,000 to 30,000 pounds since a mill run ot a specially formulated steel would have to be at least that large to make it worth buying.

My guess is that all the fairly large knives will be made out of the SR77 since there is complete sheet stock.

My guess is also that the smaller knives will be made of the cut out portions of INFI and SR101 that are left after Busse and SRKW are made. These scraps are probably not big enough to make anything bigger than a 4 inch blade, so I would bet that all the small stuff will be a combo of INFI scraps, SR101 scraps and even SR77 scraps that are left over from the larger blades made of SR77.

But, we know that the swamp has also used D2 and S30V. So is there a backstock of that stuff and might we see a scrapyard folder in both of those steels? Might we see knives made of vascowear and damascus. Could bone handles be in the works. Might there be micarta left overs for small batches?

What happens when the resiprene runs out? Will they get the stuff reordered, thereby, not being a scrapyard anymore. Will we have to call them "The Company Formerly know as Scrapyard Knives"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

This guessing game is fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And if I was Dan, I wouldn't tell us squat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

However, I would love to see a Dogfather in Damascus....That would be awesome

For that matter, I would love to see a Battlemistress out of Damascus
