Good pics and review. Was the Scrapper the overall champ?
Yes, the Yard Guard just beat out the RAT-7 and the BK-7 due to its superior batoning on oak. All three knives are very good choppers for the 7" class. I did not do a prying test (don't want to break my knives), but just looking at the thickness of the blade on the YG alone, it would surely win. I wish I had a Camp Tramp included, but I am guessing the Yard Guard and Camp Tramp would be pretty close.
