Vic,

I do have both the Yard Guard and CT.

I don't have time to research some of my past posts. I need to post this and run.


Here is one: Camp Tramp vs Yard Guard @ Swamp Rat - Rat Chat --- There are multiple posts with more comments within that thread. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

And a pic of both of mine (both stripped, both with modified choils and lowered thumb ramp on the YG):




I have commented many times in the past about the Yard Guard being a under-appreciated knife that didn't get the attention it deserved.

Historically, people rant and rave about the CT - and it deserves it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

But, the Yard Guard never got near as much love. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Many people don't like recurves for various reasons.


I mainly just prefer the general "Feel" and balance of the CT. But, it is an odd thing that can't be explained on paper. You have to hold both.
The differences are reasonably subtle, but still plenty noticable in the hand.

On the other hand, "feel" is very subjective.


Honestly though, I do also tend to prefer SR-101 on my blades over SR-77. So, that is another advantage to me for the CT over the YG IMO. (sorry.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)


The S6 is fairly stout and and you like the S6 a lot. So, who knows? You might prefer the feel of YG over the CT (????).

Not nearly as close a comparison, but I prefer the balance of my (modified) SJTAC over the S6.


But, the YG and CT are VERY close in many ways. And especially when you consider the price differences, I still say the YG was under-appreciated.


However, if priced the same, I would take the CT every time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


If I could have a Scrapweiler in INFI or even SR-101, I might be in my own little Heaven. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
