I couldn't sleep tonight soooo!

The HOGS that is...

what a novel idea. now go back in time a few months and tell Dan to introduce this model. what's it called?

Look closely at it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't think that the bowie will be made of INFI. It would be nice, but I just don't see it.








Peace
Jerry

oh look at that. then look what time i made my post. things will slip past you at 5am.

That sucks, I dont like Res-c on large blades but if its sub $200 INFI I might just have to buy one. I bet Jerry is Gonna be Piiiissssseeed over this batch of stolen steel.LOL

BTW... what are the chances of this being a photoshop job. Them hogs are sneaky!

I'll honestly be happy with S7 on a big chopper. That's where this steel excels!

I think Res-C is PERFECT for large & small knives. It is so comfy in my hand.
This is why I think Scrap Yard IS the BEST of the Busse family of knives.

TKC- 'hell yeah' by a clear mile! Res-C totally blows away micarta..

Stealther fine job that bit of art, I just wish it inspired Dan!!! "Hmm my new bowie design in INFI? Now that's a thought.." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I can't wait for the Resiprene-C Mojo. It's the one Busse blade style that hasn't been done with Resiprene-C.

As for Infi, be careful what you wish for.

Busse had their basics and they were not cheap knives. I think Infi doubles the cost of a knife, and probably triples the price of a larger blade.

All of my Scrappers will be users, I want something I'm not reluctant to abuse. SR-101 or SR-77 with Resiprene-C are the best combinations for me.

I agree about the INFI price curse (boo-hiss!) but I don't like rust and INFI copes with rust better than sr77..

As much as I would love an INFI bowie I would really want an S7 bowie I can actually afford. I think the INFI scrapper 4's was a one time deal in order to
help the yard get some momentum. I really like that they made a 4 inch knife out of the INFI they did have in order to have as many people as possible get a taste.
Very democratic and it totally worked one me. I had always loved Busse and Swamprat knives but had been put off by the price.

Res C is cool and even better on big blades than the smaller ones. Micarta is nice on a heirloom knife that will be cherished for years like an FBMLE(not to say people don't use them). On a fighter where retaining your weapon is a priority
or a chopper where some cushioning is nice RES C has the advantage.

Res-C is far and away my favorite handle material for a fixed blade knife of any size. It is comfortable, easy to hold on to even when it is wet, and cushons the blows when chopping. Oh, and you can also repair cuts in the handle material with only a flame.

What's not to love?

I would love to have a chopper made of INFI but it is very difficult to find that much scrap. The SR77 has amazed me in the torture test and it should please any DOG. It's all about performance for the lowest possible price and I think I have hit this one out of the ball park. Stay tuned!

By the way that was some fancy photo shop on the bowie

Dan

Come on Dan...when will the Bowie hit...I have to time these thing according to Payday!

If they release for sub $150 I may get one just to test the steel.

I tried to make the spine polished but I was starting to see double and had to stop! I'd love to see those torture test photos!!

Yes, I was quite happy with the performace on the car hood. I've had slight rolling and edge flattening with SR101 on WOOD before. The S7 did better than that, and I was hitting STEEL!

I think S7 is a better value than INFI. Everyone seems to think INFI is better but is it twice as good? I would take a 10% drop in performance for a 50% drop in price. Or better yet a 1% drop inperformance and a 50% drop incorrosion resistance. Rust is not a big issue for a coated blade. A steel i have heard of that specs out alot like INFI is hitachi blue steel. It would make an interesting knife.

I am just happy to have such great knives, at equally great prices. I love my S7 Street Scrapper 6. I trust Dan to make us the best knives out there, bar none!!

Hehe TKC you suck-up! (No offence meant!) You are right Dan makes good knives at great prices. My S6 is my trail buddy now, replacing a knife that cost twice the price!

Someone made the comment about the INFI V. sr77 performance comparison factoring in price as a major issue; I agree sr77 wins hands down... But INFI does stay shiny for longer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

MINI!!!!

MINI!!!!

As in more little knives? Seems fair once the Dog-father is loose..

Paul, the "Mini" is a mythical knife that a lot of people would like to purchase. But alas, nothing. "Mini Spec Ops". From Swamprat, a sister brand of Swamprat, like Busse, and God knows what else, all with a very strange marketing strategy.
All great products, no doubt. They build sharpened Ferraris and they can choose their customers.
Too good for the old world, I take it.
Well, back to our european stuff...

There are alot of nice euro knives that we don't see over here. The Fallkniven
ones are some of my favorites and it was mainly price that made me choose the yard. I also like how the euro knife buyers are not so obsessed with "supersteel"
and still use 440C on nice knives. The Boker 1918 trench knife is another sexy beast.I am looking to import some moras to canada for the people who want the best value in a user.

Here's a pic of the Mini with a Howler from Swamp Shack:


I don't really care for it myself.

I don't know about Scrap Yard, but I know that Busse has a European outlet. Some German web site. I don't know the URL but I am sure someone around here does.
