I definitely need to see more pics. Particularly use/abuse pics if you got em.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm getting a little anxious! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Dont forget to comment on sheaths. Whether you are using a Scrapyard Sheath or another sheath.

My comment is: the cordura sheath should be INCLUDED with the knife!

My comment is I need a pattern knife soon! Cheap leather sheaths forthcoming if I can get said pattern, hint hint powers that be at the yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Heck, Dwayne. I'll send you mine if you need one. Email me if you want to borrow it. -Stacey

Stacey - I thought about borrowing one of yours, but was afraid I might be a little slow returning it- hehehe!
Actually, I received an email today telling me that my knife has been shipped - sweeeeeet!!! Pretty quick shipping for having had just ordered a few days ago. Tom

Some user pics would be very cool indeed..

I am getting 2 in soon, so let me know if you want to borrow one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Rat Finkenstein - with winter just around the corner, you might want to send your Scrappers to S.W. Missouri to enjoy the milder climate ! Tom

I plan on buying a more modern camera soon, so hopefully I will be posting some pics of my scrapper in action before too long.

That's good. We can always use more pics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

And we can always use more knives! Bring em' on Scrap Yard!

Just got mine in

Wow, that was pretty quick. When is someone gonna post some ACTION shots though? Everyone posts pics of them resting on big fluffy pillows etc. I wanna see 'em in action gettin' dirty! Let's see some nature shots!

Very nice mate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> We need to see some action shots though..

I just realized mine has no logo, anyone elses like this?

WTF i got my e mail on Sun and have not got it yet????
OK it is tur i should get it....

So what do you think of it???
I just ordered a LE.
Yall are all to blame, when i need somewhere to crash..(my wife is going to kill me. "again"...LOL)

Gimmejr - Congratulations! I hope it is all you expected.

Weaseal - maybe we will get ours today.

Still waiting in CA... and got my email on Sunday as well... fingers crossed for today!

HOT DOG - THE SCRAPPER HAS ARRIVED !!!!! It feels great in the hand, and is a great size. When you hold it you just KNOW that it is an awesome blade. Great work Scrap Yard !
I hope that everyone else receives theirs today - I can share the joy! Tom

Hoping for delivery here in colorado today, too... Enjoy, Klink!

Hey, gimmiejr, you didn't already get a custom Scrap Yard did you, or is that a NO-E variant? Either way i'm jealous...

Good luck sr77dogg! The Scrapper will make you smile.

gimmejr - mine has a sterile blade as well.

No joy yet here in South Carolina. Still waiting on the mail delivery today.

Hmm, so they are sterile... vely intelesting -- oh guess what just arrived as i was typing this -- a priority mail parcel from Spring, TX... Hmmm, wonder what it could be...

What was the edge like on ya'lls Scrapper? Mine is not impressive, will barely cut paper. I might have got a dud though.

the LE is not sterile -- and they sheath has velcro instead of snap retainer and the liner is clear plastic instead of black (i cheated -- i had one already -- but hey, that's why we have two hands, right?)
Klink - you're right, i'm grinning like an idiot...

so sterile blades ? strange..

also, some completely trivial details for nerds like me who pay attention to useless minutia:
The new one has a slightly larger choil than the one bought at Blade, the new blade is just a hair narrower, has a thicker edge, and feels just slightly heavier (might be a nanometer thicker). wow, what beautiful knives... I just realized, i don't know of any other production knife in S7 steel... I wonder if this is the first?

Yeah that was a bit of a let down too.

The first one i got online from some lucky bastid who actually got to go to the Blade show cut paper right out of the box. the new one won't, and is noticably thicker, more of a chopping edge. I was able to get the first one sharp enough to pop hairs, but the new one, i think is just to thick to get that sharp without reprofiling it -- also do you have the convex or the zero edge? That might make a difference... Does anyone have both?

Just got love in CA!

Feels great in the hand... but I am in an office... can't play too much.

My LE just arrived moments ago. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

First impression is that it sure is pretty. The bare steel really looks nice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Not a mark on it, except for the logo. The edge is good. It will slice paper easily. The Res-C handle feels great of course and the knife seems very well balanced.

It is almost a shame that I do not intend to use it. This one is going to be my first safe queen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Once the Ren-Wax dries she will be put away for a long sleep.

After the credit card gets paid off I will order one of the "Standard" Scrapper 6's to use and abuse.

Rich -- sounds like you got a peach. wanna trade it for a less sharp one so i can beat the tar out of it? lol. it's probably a good thing that mine had a thicker edge...

so Rich you mean yours doesn't even have any tiny little "swirly" scratches from being sharpened?

Mine came from SYKCO yesterday. Mine like yours has a super fat edge that looks like it would need serious reprofiling to get any kind of cutting edge on it.

Mine will barely slice paper, unlike my first BattleRat. However, I am VERY pleased with the knife.

A knife that don't cut, aint a knife in my book.

not to worry fellow14 -- just a little love, and she'll be poppin' hairs, if you want it as a slicer -- i had to work on mine a bit, but it seems that some of them are profiled for chopping -- which indeed seems more consistent with res-c and S7...

If you look at the pics you can see that it looks like they just barely uncovered the steel. I had to scrape the last bit of crinkle coating off the very tip. I'm just trying to figure out if it is just mine or if this is what they considered the ideal edge from the company. Keep in mind that the pic of the tip is only the first inch or so.

I just got mine, and no logo. Being the first knive in the line i wanted the logo. I wish they would have stated on the web-site that it does not have the logo.

You and me both mate. I guess I thought I would get what was pictured. Although my reason is kind of silly. I have a pit and just thought it was neat that a knife company had a pissed off pit as their logo.

Does anyone know how to contact scrapyard besides e-mail??

Hmm, some of these comments about poor finishing and no logos are a little disapointing, especially for the very first knife offered. I hope mine comes with a logo and a decent grind, I held off a Ontario RAT because of some of their quality control issues.

LOL call them! YEah I am waiting to hear back too. No need to get black listed.

If there are any, my old eyes cannot see them. Later tonight I will put it under the magnifying glass and take a better look.

here's a close up of the edges on my two scrap6LEs... i am really happy with both of them. both great blades, just different...

fwiw, i think that sterile blade looks freakin sweet!!

Although I think the Yard's logo is cool, I'm not complaining about the sterile blade. The only complaint I have is that the sheath is not included - after all, it IS a sheath knife!

Well the sterile blade is not what i wanted.
Im trying to contact them by e-mail since thats the only way. "with no luck"

I am sure they maintain normal business hours....and I am positive they will contact you...patience young one.

Yeah i understand, and just want to know if they do come with the logos. There is nothing wrg with the blade i got today and it will be used hard. I just was expecting a logo for my collection."No worries" My wife ordered me a LE last night (i hope the LE has it) and when i find out if there are the black ones with a logo i will get one of thoes to keep the LE company in the safe. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Im not to worried about the logo but it wasnt hair shaving sharp. Couple knives Ive gotten from Busse or SRKW werent either.

I got mine today. It didn't have a logo and wasn't all that sharp but it sure could chop. After a reprofile it shaves. Great knife at a good price. I'm happy.

As promised I took a look under the magnifying glass and in bright light and I cannot see little swirls or any kind of ugly marks on the blade of my LE. There are some very light brush lines that run from the spine to the edge which I assume are left over from the polishing process. They are faint and in now way detract from the beauty of the blade.

Maybe I got lucky, or maybe my standards are not as high as some of the folks who post here but in my opinion the LE is a darn good knife and real value for the money.

I'm with you -- i think it's the best value i've seen -- i'm a huge S7 fan, and i don't know of any other production knives that use it, esp. with a Busse heat-treat... i can't ask for anything more... except maybe a satin finished SR-77 Mojo -- it's kind of depressing -- once i have one of those, it will be hard to get excited about any other knife. It might ruin me... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />(

Man that is a nice thought...2 LE I can even get 1 right now....the wife is about to have kittens and you know Dogs and cats don't mix!!!

KittenS -- plural?!! oh, man i feel for you! one perk of not being married, i guess. And the fact that i don't buy anything else -- why waste knife $ on non-knife related activities?? but oh, man those kittens will break the bank!

Weaseal - you have one terrific wife! I'm happy that my wife doesn't complain when I get another knife. I hope the Yard rolls out a couple of new models before December, as I think I could convince my wife to buy me one for my birthday and/or Christmas. Tom

Yeah, if I keep buying ..I will have new knives, and my wife will have new earings.....made from my testicles!

Yo Gravel...earings are in this time of year!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My pattern should be here in a few days...We shall see of this "edge" you guys are speaking of!

GF - Are you sure she wouldn't be happier with a new necklace, bracelet, etc. made out of gold or silver? A little shmooze never hurts! Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Her birthday is the 25th maybe I can buy her a briberyday present.....something to sedate her till I get more blades!

Now you're talking GF ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Remind us on the 24th, and we can send her a "Happy Birthday!". Then you can say something like "see Honey, even the guys from the forum wish you well - now, don't you think that I deserve another knife?!?". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It wouldn't hurt to try! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Try, please! Anything to subdue her aganst against my knives!

GF - I'm sure that at least a few of us will try to soften her up for you - just remind us on the 24th! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Not a problem I marked it on the Calander...just in case I forgot!

You might want to let us know her first name, as she may not appreciate a "happy birthday Mrs. Gravelface". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

HAHAHa yeah, I guess so. I suppose Mrs. Face wouldn't sound respectful.......Her name is April.

OK GF - We have got you covered! I hope several others will join me on the 25th, wishing April a happy birthday, and in the process helping one of our brethren! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

She will be 25 on the 25th....tshe calls it her golden birthday....I feel ripped off, I was 4 when I had mine!

Oh yeah, mine's March 2nd, so I was 2!

See I am sure you feel that certain bit of pain as you also didn't get to enjoy your "golden" birthday!

Yeah! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

GF - since it is April's "golden birthday", you had better plan on something nice. A dinner at a nice restaurant for starters, and a dozen roses. Then you coyly slip in a "Honey, if I had a new Scrap Yard knife I could help cut the rose stems in order to keep them fresh". Be creative on this one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I will try that, but then she might throw in the fact that I have a Howler coming my way, and a FBM, and a Crash axe.....what to, what to do....

And you'll need something to cut the cake with! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - EXCELLENT suggestion! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> As a clincher, GF can always tell April that she can use the knives and axe too. That is, if he isn't using them, fondling them, or looking at them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Share?....No Way ! She has to get her own.. I bought her a Ranger Little Bird. I hope it is here for her Birthday.

GF - you're all heart!

AMEN! Becker can toss in a sheath on a 40 dollar knife and pull a profit. Although Camillus apparently isn't pulling much of a profit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" /> I might prefer SYKCO up the price of a scrapper 5 bucks or so and toss the sheath in.

I'm with you Blondie. The Yard already charges almost twice of what it costs to ship to me (the price was on the Package). I know that most people are tired of hearing me voice my opinion of the sheath "option", but I still think that the no sheath policy is wrong. This is why I bought a few Fallknivens (WITH nice leather sheaths) instead of Swamp Rats.

Hi guys,

IIRC from this discussion at the Swamp, the decision to not include the sheath was due to the fact that so many people just toss them in favor of custom sheaths. Leaving the sheaths available as a choice prevents wasted money on the part of the company and the customer.

If you'd prefer, you can always think of it as $109 for a knife with an included sheath. IMO, still a bargain. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Added: I suppose the other option would be for them to add $18 to the price of every knife and send a sheath, thus making the purchase of a sheath mandatory. I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather that this wasn't the case.

i appreciate the choice, personally -- and fwiw, these are really good sheathes for $18, in my opinion... i like that, though -- why pay for something you are not going to use -- asking them to comp the sheath might be a mistake, since it would be coming off the bottom line (someone has to pay for it), it would just be reflected in the cost of the blade or the success of the company, which will affect things like quality and development going forward...

Just got my Scrapper6---
edge SHAVING sharp--
feels great---
fit and finish execellent--
bought the sheath from S.Y.K. and it is a good choice if you are not getting custom pants made. I like the extra pocket and the good quality cordura. Blade retention is by velcro wrap and quite secure. MOLLE compat...good deal IMO.
Gonna have to go hiking this weekend....Got mine scary fast. Great service.

Good to hear that you are happy with it. Have a great hiking trip this weekend!
