Thanks....I'm a contractor...govt type. I USED blade from 30 maker over the past 25yrs , and won my first Busse in a card game in Bangkok. I was a testing advisor to DoD in the early 80's.....I only wish we had the Busse(kin) available then. Life is too short for bad and ugly knives. So my small collection is a toolbox of only those which I've tested to be reliable....My SwampRat and now my Srapeyards make up 80%. I've seen what happens when equipment fails....so I'll sick with the YARD.
