I'll start with a close-up of the Mud Puppy CG markings:


And follow up with my Mud Puppy CG haul; there were other color combos, including sage blades, but I liked the Muddy and Moss blades best (I didn't see any 'Bama Clay ones -- pardon my shadow):


Here's the rest of my Scrap Yard haul -- glare detracts from the Jungle Green S5 and SS4, but I took a close up of the SS4 blade to show detail:


Here's the SS4 detail; no word about why there were any, yet so few. My best guess was that they put handles on leftover blanks.

Garth said that he thought there were three, but I only saw two and nobody would 'fess up about having grabbed the third. The dog who got the second said that he was offered cash if he'd let another attendee buy it. SS4s are hard to find and this is the only one I've gotten at the release price of $139.95. I paid over $200 for the last original one I bought (in 2009) and it was [gently] used:


Last, but certainly not least is my Busse Combat haul (no Swamp Rats for me this show). I thought I'd gotten the last SarSquatch last show, but one more showed up, and in 'Bama Clay no less -- it had to be mine. I like the Jack Hammers, but they were targets of opportunity. Jeff Law saw the SFNOs when we were in the viewing session and said that they were something special due to having the Tiger Hide handles. I got the 'Bama Clay in the initial rush and picked up the Muddy as people were putting things back because they'd grabbed too much. After from the SS4, they're probably the jewels of my Spring 2011 haul:


There was a Custom shop satin FSH with a sharpened swedge and hand-shaped black G10 handles that I kept fondling, then putting back. It was a beauty, but I recall that it was also $797. As it was, I dropped just over $3K after sales tax.
