Queulat:
Welcome to the Yard.
Get the SOD while you can. It will only be available to order for a few more days. Prices on the secondary market will be higher. They are for the Scrapper 6.
About the choils, you’re not alone. I for one agree with you. There is some use for a big choil on a medium size knife. For a short knife such as the Scrapper 4 or a long one like the Dogfather, I’d rather have an edge that runs right up to the handle. Dan came closest to that with the Yard Keeper. But it’s his house and his rules. He mostly likes big choils. I’d rather have a Scrap Yard knife with a big choil than no Scrap Yard knife at all.
About the Bravo-1, nobody knows. Our only source for that Marine knife test is Bark River. Nothing in the story identified the Marine Recon unit in question. None of the other knife companies or models tested were listed. The only source we have for the story of the origins of the Bravo-1 is Mike Stewart.
Post Scriptum:
Who is this Junk Yard Knives of whom you speak? Is there a new knife shop in town?
