Well, today, after a long time, I finally got my first Scrap Yard piece.

I will just say this... There are a few good people left in this world. I obtained this knife from a very good man, and former soldier in the Army. (we look after each other) I cant begin to express my thanks to this gentleman and former officer. He deserves my thanks and praise for this gift. He knows who he is and when he sees this, I want you to know of my heartfelt thanks for the Scrapper 6 and the sheath.

Now, my impressions. You guys better get ready. Because I NEVER thought this would come out of my mouth....

I like the feel of Scrap Yard blades better than I do my Swamp Rats! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Yes, i just said that. Maybe it is in the Res-C handle. I dont know. The second I pulled this thing out of the box, and unwrapped it, I literally fell IN LOVE with this knife. I seriously cant express how much I love this blade. The finish of the SY knives is not that of Swamp Rat or Busse but I think thats what makes them awesome. I think SY is built on this mentality... As long as the performance is there, the finish and look doesnt need to be perfect. I think the blade looks awesome!!! Dont misunderstand me... But its not as pretty as some of the other Rats and Hogs I have seen. But I dont care. I LOVE this yard dog! I am going to be taking this to Iraq with me for sure. And as Horn Dog stated on another thread, this is the ultimate combat knife. And I will stand by him on that claim... I'll put this Scrapper 6 up against any other combat knife out there. Once again, I am officially a YARD DOG. I guess you have to just get one before you can feel how great these knives are. I am a believer and follower of the Yard now boys. HOOOOOOOAH!!!!!
