I agree wholeheartedly. If the S5LE didn't present the rare opportunity to get INFI married to Mudders, there's no way I would have bought it. At the price I paid, though, it would have made more sense to have this release be a Swamp Rat knife and not Scrap Yard.

The mantra around here is superior price to performance ratio, and I'm not convinced the extra performance of satin INFI justifies the price for a Scrap Yard knife.


I think future INFI knives from the Yard should use the SS4 model - keep them coated to lower the cost. Satin INFI just doesn't improve performance enough to belong in the Yard IMHO, unless you can lower the price more. Even if you do a numbered, coated limited edition, that's fine, too.


I dig the knife, and am glad I got it, but I hope this doesn't become a trend. It's a whole lot of money for a 5 inch scrap yard knife. The HOGS went nuts for this one, but a lot of the Scrap Yard faithful had to sit it out because it was so expensive.
