Just got my first Scrap Yard knife and had to post my impressions. The satin finish is not as good as on a Busse but you know what, I don't care. This is a cheaper knife and with a name like Scrap Yard knives I think it fits the bill. I am impressed with the heft and balance of this knife and after reading up on the steel, I have no doubt it can take and give a good beating. The weight and thickness surprised me even though I knew the specs. I've loved the resoprene handles ever since my Howling Rat, missed out by a week on the Camp Tramps so now I wait patiently for the Scrap Yard bowie. They've got me hooked. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
