Bring on the S7 or The Scrapweiler!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

or ScrapSquatch! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


No false edge for me either please. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Didn't the Puma White Hunter have a similar feature?

yeah, I don't see a use for the swedge really...
but even with one I would still get it.
and the SARaquatch and s7 are the main blade I'd like to get for myself too.

Vic, the Puma White Hunter and Wilkinson Sword Dartmoor knife both had a similar feature for batoning..

I call for a DK-47 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The "DOG KENSEI" 47 cm in SR-77. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Though... an S7 would be quite nice, too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I didn't care for the swedge either, so it wasn't that hard to resist. A scrapper 7 or 8 would be great.
My brother has a Becker Brute.
He loves it, but had a problem with the coating interacting with the sap in the wood when he was batoning.
Got pretty sticky and made batoning tougher for him, so he's asked me to make it nice and shiny like Horn Dog makes his knives.
That should get rid of that sticking problem I think.

Like this:

.

Here are some comparison picks:


Scrapweiler LE with Scrapweiler in green (even if green is not an option - it was easier to photochop back when.):




Scrapweiler LE with stripped Camp Tramp (* Notice just slightly dropped tip with slightly more shallow belly towards front. Thicker height in middle with gradual hump in spines similar to Chopweiler's. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> ):




Green Scrapweiler Concept with Chopweiler (My Concept Scrapweiler has just a hair more drop in the point and just a little shallower belly than the Chopweiler.):

My concept is a hair longer than the Camp Tramp and about the same length OAL as the Chopweiler.

The Camp Tramp is 12.4375" OAL
The Chopweiler is 13.125" OAL

My Camp Tramp is about .235" thick without coating.
My Chopweiler is about .240" thick with coating.

*** .22" - .25" works great for me and I don't really want thicker.

I vote for about .23" - .25" thick tops. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


*** For the record, even though my green Scrapweiler Concept appears to have a swedge, I vote for NO Swedge!!! It is MUCH easier to add a swedge for those who want one than to remove it for those who don't want one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

It has been a year, but I seem to remember the Scrapper 7 prototype as being light and fast in the hand, like the S6. Even so, it may still chop pretty well. The DFLE is pretty light for a 10" Bowie, and it chops very well. I'd still like to see a Scrapweiler, but a Scrapper 7 would be nice, too.

Is that what that anvil section of the White Hunter is for?

The Puma White Hunter is a gorgeous knife that’s left me scratching my head for years. It’s a purpose built knife—designed in collaboration with African white hunters, no less—yet it baffles me. I can see the bullnose shape for skinning, but then why is the spine in front of that anvil sharpened? To open the rhino’s guts? If…oh, never mind. I’m pleased to have one feature explained to me.

I love the idea of the concept of a Scrapweiler...

A BIG +1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
