HEY! I just got one too, but a CG. Great score there buddy.

Congrats on the Keeper LE, Sharp.

The Keeper was my first SYKCO LE knife and One of my prizes from Blade 2007, brings back fond memories when I use it, great little blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Klink,

Cool. He's gonna be one happy puppy when he gets it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Jbombelli,

I've had my fair share of really nasty cuts. Not planning on getting anymore. Got be more and more careful as I start using knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Shaolin,

Yea, I saw that. The CG is very nice. Have you used yours yet?

RW,

Thanks. This is my first Scrap Yard Knife and it's and LE, too. So this is quite a special user knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just got it a couple of hours ago, lol Maybe this weekend.

Shaolin,

I've had mine for a couple of hours too and it's already chopped some 2x4s, dug through some 2x4s, and made a bunch of fuzzy sticks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Great looking knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I have to get one of those! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Congrats sharp. enjoy that DAWG.

Just got back from a little more testing. I went up my street a bit and there's a small portion of undisturbed forestry that I jumped into.

Here's a view of P-town coming in.



But on with the testing. The first thing I did was chop down a small branch with my FBM to have a little place to hang my Camera Bag. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (no pictures though)

Then FBM chopping turned to YKLE Chopping.

One swipe was all it took for the YKLE to get through this branch. Quite a good little knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />



Here's a close up



So the real purpose of the me coming wasn't just to test the YKLE, but I wanted to harvest a small sapling. Using the old bend and cut method I got this sapling quite easily with the YKLE.



Close Up.



So after that, I went home to get the sapling skinned and ready to be dried for more fire wood to practice on.

As you can see, it's not too bad a size for a sapling.



After a few minutes I got all the bark off. Made quite a mess, though, I cleaned up the bark and am saving it to make some dry tinder.



The YKLE comes out triumphant.



Though perhaps a little dirty. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />





Well, I gotta say, I love this knife before, and I still do. Though I need to do some more testing. Let's say some tip work, some prying, some body-weight tests, etc., etc.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm gonna let the sapling and bark shavings dry for a couple of days or weeks and then one with a some more fire making. Fun, fun, fun!!

Enjoy!!

Sharp, I think you and CloaknDagger are two of the best things to happen to the Yard in quite a while, I love the fact that you both actually use your knives and provide us with the great pics, keep it up bro !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on the new blade.

Sweet score......I love the YK
