I too found neither the Scotch Dispenser nor the Sus Scrofa appealing. If the SD were closer to a classic ring knife with the ring at the rear I might have considered it.

As it is there are lots of alternative small Busse blades that I like better like the ADs (the Boney ADs especially) or the Game Wardens over either of your two choices. Skeleton knife choices would include the skeleton wardens and the swamp wardens.

If the Sus Scrofa had been designed with a straight Wharncliff style blade I would have bought several. Just don't like the curved blade that much I guess.

The bottom line is that it doesn't matter what we think. It's what you think that matters <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
