I figure $10-20 in cost for the handle and labor associated with it... Just a guess, though.

it's gonna need a name. and if it is the smallest, the smallest dog is the chihuahua, but that's to long. we could break it up or mix it around;

the Scrapyard-

Chill
Pocket
Hua
Runt
Shy

I think it'll be the SKINNIEST mutt, but maybe not the smallest!

Anorexic Mutt

Greyhound

Hungry Pup

Hungry Mutt (I like this one...)

Dog Bone

I would prefer Scrap Yard come out with a shaker style blade instead of the larger warden style. A smaller neck knife would be great and I would definitely buy at least two!

I think terry is a secret ninja! and I agree!!

I voted no. I want a grip to make my knife more stable and comfortable to use. I don't care for skeleton handles; they're barely acceptable on small knives (I grew fond of my Swamp Warden, but only after a double-wrap with paracord -- it certainly wasn't love at first sight). I wouldn't consider buying a larger skelly unless I intended to add custom grips as a project.

I would take it and paracord wrap it
what a bargain

Aaaaand, that was one of the suggestions I made near the beginning of this thread. Mounting holes for custom grips. Post number 3.

I understand, and I even saw your early post about the holes. However, I consider Scrap Yard's access to the shop as a scarce, critical-path resource. If that's the case, and based on their shop time they can only release one non-military run every quarter or so, I'd rather see a different concept than a skeleton knife. I don't know that I'd even buy one, although I might just to maintain my collection. For me, a part of a Scrap Yard's knife's value resides in its comfortable, durable, shock absorbing, Res-C grips -- if I could send other knives (like a couple of my HI Kuhkris) into Scrap Yard to be re-handled, I would.

I can think of a couple that I wouldn't mine having Res-C handles on myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />






I do like skelly's too though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Dan had recently said something about the shop being reorganized or expanded - or something - to allow for more shop time. Does anyone remember where that was posted? I think it was about 2-3 months ago...

I love ResC as much as the next guy - but we've already got a couple small, and several medium and large blades on that handle, and there's only so much left in the way of "variety." S7 maybe - for those who don't like the recurve on the hook/guard. And some smallish EDC's w/ ResC would be very nice. There's not much else that hasn't been covered, though. I'm hoping to see a few new knives pop up - and a skelly alongside another ResC handled knife would be excellent.
