I think that you're probably right. I plan to wait and see how the folks like this LE before I make a final decision about ordering any. I know that many have been clamoring for a skelly-handled Scrap Yard release, but I'm not one of them.

I suspect that as skelly knives go, this is a good, functional, ergonomic design, and it may be well worth getting a few just to keep up my collection. However, I consider the primary role of a skelly design to be a "hold-out" knife, carried concealed and close to the body. Based on what I've heard about SR101's corrosion characteristics, extended contact with my sweat would rust SR101, and I do sweat. I'd have preferred it in the more stain-resistant 154CM, although SR101 is tougher and as noted, skellys aren't really my thing anyway. Still, if I do decide to order some, I want to make sure I order the "right" ones.
