I wanted to review the YKLE specs, so I looked at the Knives page. There doesn't appear to me any mention of the Yard Keeper there. I found this in an old post:

Quote
The Dogs in the Yard are extremely creative.

With much thought, review and voting from the ScrapYard staff we have settled on the name for the new knife that will be offered at the Blade Show.

We would like to congratulate "Bors" for his submittal of "The Yard Keeper".

Since this is the ONE & ONLY run of this knife at this thickness and there are VERY few available!!! The name is a keeper...so to speak

There will NOT be a coated series of this pattern in a 1/4" blade thickness.

Any potential future runs of this pattern will feature a 3/16" thick blade.

Bors please PM me with your address and the two shirt sizes you would like.

Thanks again to everyones input

Dan

It probably is not up yet. The specs on the YKCG is one the first post of Dan's announcement thread. The CG version is coated and 3/16th thick is the main difference.

I understand about the CG since its so new, but no entry was made for the YK LE from about last June. Several knives that went up after the YK LE are listed, so maybe it got overlooked because there were only a few and the release was intended to be limited to Blade. Since there were a few left over afterward, a "dog bowl" release followed for the remainder.

Of course, not all of the variants make it to the Knives page; I've got a couple tan overrun SS6s and there was the Urban Mutt (I think even one Urban Keeper made its way into civilian hands), but I expected the YK LE to have an entry.

It was never released through the website. It was released for the Blade Show. Blades that are for the shows only don't end up on that page. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ya Know, eventually someone needs to start a Scrap Yard collectors site, so we can keep up with all these Blades. It's gunna start getting a little hard to keep up with before long. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A Scrapyard Wiki would be cool. Hmmm...
