Sorry for the new guy question, but I'd like to know before I put it up for sale. It was one of the early ones and can't remember if they all came like this or not.

Thanks.

They do, and so sorry you have to part with one of the best knives ever made by Scrap Yard Knife Company.

Peace.

Wilkenstein - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Sorry to hear that you have to part with an SS4, but I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding a buyer for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Don't do it!! 'You'll be sorrrryyyy'...

Seriously, it is one of the best knives out there, you'll miss it once it's gone..

No, don't sell if possible. Ditto on one of the best knives around.

check and see if dice wants it.

Get rid of it immediately, if not sooner. Polished spine? Send it to me for evaluation. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I had three SS4's and sold one to a fellow Dog at my cost.

I will keep both of my remaining two for sure.
I know I would very likely regret just having one let alone none.
I am thinking about attempting a custom hidden tang micarta handle on one. But, I like the mudders so much. I don't have any strong desire to change it. Maybe if the mudders take damage some day (????).

The SS4 is most likely my favorite Scrap Yard knife. I say "most likely" only to keep the option open to change my opinion. But, I am pretty sure that won't happen. And after making satin and a little polishing, the SS4 is one of my favorite knives PERIOD!!!








I have a hard time imagining anyone owning one and being willing to part with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

The DogFather is very good for a chopper, but I use smaller 4" blades most and it is very hard for me to find fault in my SS4. I love the size, shape, blade design, INFI, mudder handles, great finger choil size, and SATIN <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have owned hundreds of 4" or so sized knives and still own MANY. The SS4 is among the best IMO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

INFI is arguably the best knife steel on the planet. Very good for both large and small knives and more than sufficiently resistant to rust.

At the price Dan brought them to us, I consider it one of the best values in knives. You just can't get INFI at those prices and I consider the original release price on the SS4 very good and reasonable for INFI.

I wish Jerry would sell satin finished heat-treated INFI blanks so I could make my own scales and save what he charges for scales.
Even better if I could submit my drawings and be able to have the blank shape cut and some of the primary grinding done - then I could do the final tweaks and handles and hopefully save money. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> - I would likely buy a bunch of blanks...

However, Res-C is a very reasonable price option and VERY nice handle material IMO.

I wish Dan could get more INFI and bring us more INFI at reasonable prices. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

i love the ss4. i won't edc it just b/c of the size of the handle, but the handle makes the knife for me. it's big enough to fit in my bear size paws great. even with gloves on it's easy to feel the knife and know it's secure in your hand.

Welcome to the Yard Wilkenstein! Sorry you have to part with your SS4 as I'm sure you'll regret it later. Life happens though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard Wilkenstein. I would sell my SS4 if I really had to, but there are a lot of other things I would sell before it.

I would sell my kidney first. I only have 1 SS4. It was my first Scrapper.
There have been a few on the market at about 210$.

I would buy a similar Busse before rehandling a SS4. It would be easier and cost the same.
