What's really important to you? The fit, precision, and finish are not as good on my dogfather as they might be on a Busse. On my dogfather the angles on the tip aren't quite symetric, the edge on the hump on the spine ins't quite perpendicular, and I've got what looks like two starfish patterns and a minoura on the coating. And if I really didn't look hard enough I wouldn't fing these very slight imperfections. Whoopty freakin do!

These scrapyard knives will easily do 95% in not more of what a similar sized Busse, or Swamp Rat will do at well under half the cost with darn near the same warranty. Scrapyard will always have its detractors, those who feel threatened, or those who feel jealous, or who feel that by not buying into them sets them apart, or those who are loyal to another brand, or what ever. Who cares! If you feel like you got a good deal and your pleased that's enough for me.
