PoP's advertisment doesn't convince you, I don't know what will! On of my regrets is that I didn't snag one of the hooks (although I like the hookless Guard better) while they were still in the store when I was new to the yard and just getting my bearings. I think they finally disappeared the day I decided to pull the trigger. Don't let that happen to you! |  |  |

That sheath is a Rainwalker Custom Kydex Sheath my friend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
 Not only does The Rainwalker specialize in Leather Custom Sheaths but Kydex of all shapes and colors as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
 
 That was made for me as soon as the Hook was released. Jeff cranked out that beauty for me at once.
 
 It has a colored Kydex and steel clip as well as a Tek Lok configuration. I can wear it on my right hip up and down top draw or on my left hip side draw across my belly.
 
 I prefer the cross draw due to the weight of The Hook. Just rides better there for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
 
 No way you can go wrong with a Yard Hook and ANY Rainwalker rig. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
 
 Enjoy,
 
 Peace.

Simon, any Busse-SwampRat-Scrapyard is worth it, even if you don't understand that! the resale value alone is "Worth IT!"

Whichdawg: I canīt own a knife and donīt use it. Value will drop when used and I donīt even like to sell my knives. If I buy a knife I intend to keep it and use it or else I donīt buy it. 
 Got the Yardhook today, with a Spec-ops sheath. First impression was what a nice sheath!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just kidding. The knife: Itīs small compared to what Iīm used to. And itīs heavy, which is good. Better then I thought so Iīm not disappointed  <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />  Thick edge, gone fix that and then out and test it all weekend. YEEEHAW!!! Party on!!!

Glad you got it, Simon. Now put an edge on it. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YH002.jpg) Chop a log with it: ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YH003.jpg) Open a beer with it and enjoy your work! ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/SYKCO/YH005.jpg) 
 Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

HD: Nice pics. I see you change the angle on the hook, I have to fix that on mine too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I did some chopping in my bedroom and it works great for the size. Canīt wait the get out in the woods and test it

Since I try to avoid knife fights, I ground the bottom of the blade catch so that the front edge was sharp enough to catch the edge of a crown cap. It's nice to have a camp knife with a bottle opener. It would still catch an opponents blade should I need to defend a cooler full of beers from intruders. The Yard Hook is one heavy duty knife that will never break. 
 Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I've never regretted buying ANY of my Yard knives.. I can't say that in all honesty about my other Bussekins, so enjoy your wonderfully tanky piece of indestructible, not especially corrosion prone sr77- the thinking man's INFI.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
