I'm in!

What is the price Dan? We gotta budget you know!

Oh yeah' !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

oh sweeet

OMG! I wish this was in INFI, but it'll do! This is definitely going to be my first ever purchase off the SYK website! I've got the SS4, DFLE, and DMLE.... This I have gotta get! Maybe even two; one to admire, and one to use! Please Dan, tell us how much we need to get this. I've got my credit card ready.

Knife Guy,

OMG have you been listening to us! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
I don't think I will go for it though... I have to wait for an s7... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

but still! I can't wait for the details! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Errrr...... This and an S7 / or This and a DF make a PERFECT Combo! unless you already have the only other knife that might compete with this: the SS4. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Even then, two perfect small knives are better than one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

from just looking at it this could very well be scrap yards coolest knife IMO. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

with the "TAN MUDDER" mixed with a satin finish that wont rust in an every day carry package and with the SY logo and LE numbered like the busses the coolness factor is through the frickin roof. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
thanks scrap yard for such a cool knife.i will obtain one by any means necessary. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
...lol

Does anyone else think this will be the perfect companion blade for the DFLE? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HECK Yeah.... and about any other Mid-size to large knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Pair this with any of the following and MORE: <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

DFLE / DF
S7 (someday)
Yard Guard
S6
Chopweiler
Camp Tramp
ASH1
SJTAC
Etc., etc. etc. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I have NEVER seen ANYONE quote THEMSELVES in a post before! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

This is awesome K.G.!! Well said! I agree x1,000,000,000% <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

The new Mud Puppy is just what I have been hounding him for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

For the last two years I have thought of no other knife by Scrap Yard. Every release I held my breath in hopes! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Now it all comes to fruition! The Mud Puppy. Brilliant. Adding the Mudders is over the top in brilliance! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

This WILL sell out faster than the SS-4 I'll bet. I pray that this time I get in on the offering!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

holy junk i thought this was the old thread!!!!!!

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not good at all, I just told myself that I had enough knives and now comes the Mud Puppy, guess I'll have to warm up my credit card.

I'm looking forward to that knife. That booze in the picture must be pretty rare; the only reference I've found was in a 2003 Washington Post article: Odyssey of Frustration

Here's the excerpt (from page 5):
"Its Christian owners called it Asriya Anis Arak. Acting director Janan Roger Lassow showered Allison and his men with hospitality, escorting them around the family-owned distillery and attempting to press them with gifts of arak, the company's anise-flavored liqueur."

To me, there are plenty of distinguishing factors in design between the HCLE and the MPLE.

No doubt they could overlap in use and substitute for each other. But, I think there are enough subtle differences to keep me from calling them "nearly identical".
And they are different enough to make me want BOTH! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I love well designed smaller 3.25" - 4.0" bladed knives.

From the pictures, the HCLE and MPLE both have LOTS of great merit! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I will have to have an HCLE. As much as I LOVE mudders, I am pretty impressed with what appears to be a very well shaped handle on the HCLE. - An apparently slimmed/scaled down HRLM handle with improved choil should be excellent for the HCLE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I am not so sure about the full legth swedge on the spine. But, it isn't a huge detriment to the knife either and I can likely round it over or flatten if I prefer. - Easier than the easy HRLM choil mod.
Both handles should be EXCELLENT in their own way.

But, it appears to me that the MPLE has a couple of subtle advantages in my book. And positive compromises between the two in other ways.

Mud Puppy is a much cooler name than Hairy Carry too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Now, thanks to Andy, every time I see the name "Hairy Carry", I keeping visioning this:




Mud Puppy conjours better images for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


But, honestly, names don't mean much to me.

I am stoked about the designs and attention to details on both. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
