..I'm happy to stick with CGs, Tom. My knife-buying budget is limited. I need to stretch it as far as it will go. And it will go a whole lot further in the Yard than in either the Swamp or the Trough. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The most important thing for me is to have an example of every model Dan makes, not necessarily every variant of every model. And of course, if I leave the variants alone and Dan keeps his prices down, there's a better chance that I'll actually have the funds available to spend on new Scrap Yard models as they're released. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One other thing (and I may get flamed for this). I hope Dan never releases another INFI-based knive. I understand the situation surrounding the SS4 and I also understand that the pricing of that knife was simply fantastic. But it's just not what the Yard is all about . . . at least it's not for me. The Yard should be a place where someone with a small budget and a big dream can purchase high-quality, high-volume, low-price knives. It's about a DF at $139.95 and a S6 at $89.95. Those are the kinds of knives and price points I hope will exemplify what the Yard stands for, not a 4" EDC at $139.95
I hope Dan throws Lots of different steels at us! Infi, SR-77, SR-101, and more! I hope he experiments, mixes it up, then we can vote with our wallets.. or discuss here 1st, thru polls, etc.

I see where you're coming from bld, but you must admit.. ~$139 was a Hell of a price for Infi! If Dan makes it (no matter the steel!) it'd be made the "no frills" (or lower frills) ScrapYard way.. it Would BE affordable compared to what's out there! ..and be able to go toe-to-toe against the higher end stuff!

I'd like to see Swords & Bigger stuff from ScrapYard also! I'd buy a ScrapYard Sword in a heartbeat.. because I *know* I'd have to spend 2-3x the $ or more to get this performance Anywhere else!
I wouldn't mind seeing "Pricier" stuff from Dan.. cuz i *know* it'd be Great stuff, and it would Kick even MORE butt than the competitors!
