I had even said on some forums "infi is just Carbon V with better marketing" Well the SS4 came out and I thought 140$ is expensive but I can always sell it if I don't like it. Well I still have that SS4 and carry it every day. I was wrong about infi as well. "if you want to be a hero you have to learn to drive stick"! Sara Conner

The Doctors were astounded and baffled as to how it could have happened.Mom was just sore and pissed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> I had so many pocket knives taken away from me in my youth I could put half the population of England in jail with the amount of blades Mom took away from me. I'd steal a few bucks from the cookie jar,Dads coin bottle, or return Coke bottles for the deposit money and go right back to Ace Hardware and buy another pocket knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I don't know why I kept leaving them in my pants pocket. I knew the woman did my laundry three times a day. She found every thing I ever hid from her. I remember my epiphany. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> I finally asked her one day when I was I believe 8 years old. Mom, I said.. You keep taking these knives away from me. Why? She told me that's a silly question, you'll cut yourself or worse hurt someone of your friends. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> I explained we all had knives and used them every day exploring our neighborhood and just for fruit and general use. I noted that I had never been cut or asked for a band aid. She relented and let me pick one. She had saved EVERY knife she took from me, intending to give them back when I was more responsible. I love my mom. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I picked a Mother of Pearl Case Trapper I had always liked.Most expensive too. I found the Yard in early December of 2006 while looking for a new Christmas blade for myself. Needless to say there were none for sale. So I lurked for a really long time.Laughing and learning form all the posters. Finally I gave in and broke my silence,and since then you have all had to put up with rambling posts like this one. Thanks for putting up with me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> By the way Lupa, welcome to The Yard. Home for the steel hearted. Peace.

I found BF and from a guy's review of the DOGFATHER I am sure that you all know the reviev, he was a guy from the NW but it only fuled my fire to go to st Scrap Yard website and then I fell in love,...... with the DogFather!!! Now 6 SYKCo knives and counting later and a coin(#28) I await the next one or two! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> JYD # 28

Awesome! I like the coated one. It will match the HR and the CT. Then I will have to get LeatherDog to make me a sheath for that one too. Between the wait for the knife and the sheath, I should have it, what, about Christmas next year? Oh well, worth the wait. Meanwhile, I have my eye on the yard dawg.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> And I have those high heels somewhere... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Thanks again for the warm welcomes.

Too busy out playing with my HR and CT, I suppose. The old wolf told me about Scrap Yard and showed me a picture of a knife I fell in lust with... too late tho. They arent for sale anymore. But it led me here. Maybe next time I won't miss out. My apologies for not posting an intro. I will go back and do it if someone will tell me where to go. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Welcome to the Yard Dumpster Dan

Dumpster Dan Junk Yard Dog Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 6,743 Ohio	Quote I was always interested in knives, but I never collected them. For decades, all I had was a Buck 110. (I still have that knife, by the way.) Then for reasons I don't really remember, I started bumming around on some of the knife forums. Eventually I made my way to Bladeforums and from there to Cliff Stamp's web site. Of course, if you know anything about Cliff Stamp, you know he likes Busse family knives. I found Swamp Rat via Cliff and started checking out the Battle Rat, Camp Tramp and Howling Rat. Then the Jeep story showed up on Bladeforums and that did it. I KNEW I had to have a Camp Tramp! Of course I couldn't get just one Swamp Rat knife. My next purchase was a Howling Rat. That led to catching the INFI bug. So I took a deep breath and bought a straight-handled Satin Jack CG from Skunk. Other interests led me away from knife collecting after that, so that was the extent of my collection for awhile. When I decided to get back into it, I went to the usual sites and the buzz was circulating about Scrap Yard. One look at what Dan was offering and I was hooked. It was like visiting Swamp Rat during the good old days all over again. I don't know how long my interest in knife collecting will last this time around. Nothing's ever permanent with me . . . except my marriage (going on 32 years now). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What a claim to fame..."going on 32 years". That is something to be proud of!!!Good for you. Patti and I will be married 24 year in November...and thats 24 years without gun fire directed at me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Dan
