Is it just me, or does other of you guys feel, that the most recent "new knife in 2 weeks" update is the last straw?

I have a sense, that many of the last "regulars" on here will simply fade away. Patience has been spent.

I have been on here for four years now, seen my self post less and less frequent. As have many others.

But lately, one begins to feel stupid checking in. More stupid than before.

And that is sad, cus' Scrap Yard is what got me into the whole Bussekin thing.

When I saw Noss beat the Scrapper 6, and it held up to his abuse, I have not looked back.
Only now there seems to be nothing to forward to. Except the promise of steel, that never comes.

Prove me wrong Dan, please.

I disappeared for a while. I saw the same video you did and that's what got me here. I'm here for the community... I'm not really interested in 1095 knives... Which is what is promised. Idk... Guess time will tell brother.

Sadly, MANY of our long time members and JYD's have left due to the poor or misleading communications and lack of steel.

disappointing but i'm sure a lot of things can come up in this business

I've seen many of the old timers leave and never come back. I'm sure its because lack of communications mostly. This board used to have 2 to 3 times as much activity and posts, but now its pretty much dead. I left here for 2 or 3 years because it was dead on here and very few new knives to discuss. Years ago there was a few new Scrapyard knives a year, so there was lots to discuss. I already seen some regulars stop checking in and posting and I'm sure more will do the same.

Yep. It's sad. The gaps between steel are hard on believers. While I know part of Busse sales is the mystery of what's next and when we the customers would love more communication from the people working at the shop and the Busse family.
If there isn't steel then at least let us know you are alive more often.
And please communicate with the forum mods. Tom is amazing and if he
Isn't being spoken to and is having doubts that's a symptom of a bigger problem.

I'm starting to suspect the "new old model" predates Scrapyard and maybe even the Swamp... a scrap yard without steel is after all just a vacant lot.

x2

The "two weeks" joke wears thin when you feel like you're just being ignored.

Nothing good can come from taking your customers from granted.

I am fairly certain, that I will stick around.
And I am also fairly certain, that I will buy another Scrap Yard knife. If Dan ever releases one...!!

I have tought about making some dramatic exit, promising never to return.
But I would feel so stupid coming crawling back, in 2017, when Dan releases the 10-year Anniversary INFI Scrapper 6 at 3/16" thickness, at a favorable price

Lol yeah very true

If it keeps going like this there may not be anything left by 2017.

Sigh.... How long ago was it that the yard released a new blade. Some time in
2014?
