I agree with all the previous posts about Dan's reply.

Thanks, Dan!

I understand and am fine with keeping the focus on Scrap Yard (and Busse kin) knives. It's nice to talk about how different knives compare with them, though. Being in the middle of a city and in college, it can be difficult to get out and do things like chop-offs, so I like to be able to discuss how other knives compare simply in the hand. I mentioned before, though, for a 5 inch all around go to blade, the S5 is spot on, in my opinion. It's right up there with my Ratmandu (though I still have yet to beat up the 'mandu). Thanks for the great knives and a great place to discuss them!
