Anyone gonna make at guess at the next blade to emerge from the Scrap pile ?

probably something small...

that's what I knida think, since people were asking for a skelly for the longest time.
I think a little 154cm skelly would be pretty cool actually.
(although I kinda want a little knife with good edge retention and stuff, I think I'd have to wait for a bigger knife)
...
BUT THEN... the s7.

thats JMO and I really haven't thought about it much...

I think it will be a skelly because of the giveaway.
A skelly would be a great giveaway.

that to!
man!!!
I forgot the fact I could win the skelly AND still have money for the s7...

hmmm...

Yeah because you cheated and used your sister. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'd guess it'll be that second batch of DMDCs -- I got my blades, but am still waiting on sheaths.

I would guess the next knife will be a ScrapYard version of the "Hairy Carry" from SwampRat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> But I certainly wouldn't mind the S-7 !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

dan mentioned specifically that it would be "sharp".

now all knives are sharp but when he said that i think he was hinting to something imparticular,i'm thinking something smaller disigned to be more of a cutter,slicer than combat blade,supper chopper.

mix that with the hairy carry,dans earlier mention of numbers and letters and i think were in store for something entirely new from the yard,just in time for BLADE.

I don't put much value in guessing. Not much value in wishing either, but at least I "Know" my wishes. Here are my top two wishes:


Scrapper 7 (7.5 or 8 ????? in SR-77):





SS3.5 LE with MUDDERS! (* I would prefer this in 154CM over SR-77):




.

Some of the recent Busse knives are apparently shipping with a "S.S.S.S.": Swine Shaving Sharp Sheet.





Apparently Busse has a new policy for sharpness testing prior to shipping. Maybe a similar policy will apply to Scrap Yard and Swamp Rat (????). - If so, whatever is next should be "sharp". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Why SS3.5 ? Would an SS3 not make more sense after having an SS4....just curious ?

Well, I don't really care what it is called. But, I think a 3.5" blade is much more appropriate for the proportional size of the mudder grips.
I think the handle would feel too large if it only had a 3.0" blade.

I feel the Mudder grips are very condusive in design to having a choil.
Normally, on a 3.5" blade, I would start to lean away from a choil. But, I think it would be fine.

With a 3.0" blade, I wouldn't want a choil and another reason I don't think the Mudders would be so suited for a smaller 3.0" blade.
I don't personally feel there is a Res-C handle that is well suited for a 3.0" blade.

Also, the concept is based on the AD and the AD has about a 3.5" blade.

I generally prefer a 3.5" blade over 3.0" blade. But, if designed just right, I could be swayed towards a well designed 3.0" blade.

And I think there is a significant enough difference between the SS4 and this SS3.5 concept to justify it.




---------------

If we want a 3.0" blade, I would probably vote for a skelly (NO Choil) like my Rat Tooth Tasker concept. But, I don't really care which logo is on it. I think the Rat Tooth Tasker or "Dog" Tooth Tasker concept would be well served in 154CM as well.

The Swamp Warden has a pretty good blade, but for smaller knives I prefer a little more spear point or even semi-Wharncliffe. But, the main issue I had with the Swamp Warden was the handle. It just didn't fit my hand. I kept wanting to choke up onto the guard. My design should offer more grip area in the handle. And I designed the Rat/Dog Tooth Tasker with pin holes so that scales could be added for those who prefer.
I would probably add scales as I just don't generally like the feel of a skelly. Even thin scales are big improvement to me. But, the great thing is a "Design with Options"!







I prefer satin. But, the drawing is with coated colors. I haven't taken the time to change it to satin yet.


........ But, these are just my opinions.
