Thanks for the realistic review Crux.
I prefer my LE mainly because of the satin finish. If Dan had released a Scrapper 5 in SR101 with a satin finish and no LE numbers I would have been just as happy. Maybe future knives from Scrap Yard will have that option.
As much as I like shiny uncoated blades, I have to say that SR101 just won't stay that way long if you use it at all and don't immediately clean and oil it after use. Or you can use Tuf Cloth. It stains and rusts easily. No big deal since I have a Scrap Muk in 154CM that I really like about as much. I say, make the LE models in 154CM. It stays shiny.
