A set of Dog Tags would be pretty cool. Maybe it's too early to suggest it but hell I figured my scrapper is on it's way so might as well. What you guys think?

We never got Swamp tags. But I gotta say, dog tags sound quite appropriate for Scrap Yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dog Tags, they do have a certain ring to them.....Can I get my Dogs vaccinated?

Hmm...would a mojo w/o the catch be getting a dog that's "fixed"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Or maybe it would just be your Dirty Old Uncle's Dog! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I want my Dirty Old Uncle's Dog fixed......now THAT should clarify everything.....sounds like code.....the ladies are dirty...I repeat the ladies are dirty.......HHMMMMM what would the ladies of the Scrapyard Dog Company be called? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

GF - that's easy - BOSS!

By the way, I like the idea of dog tags as well. They would be a ready identifier at any knife shows attended, and a great conversation starter. They could be used as a sales tool as well.

I would like to get some dog tags too. That would be sweeet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

...and a hat...and shirt...

That's it...WE NEED SCRAP YARD BLING!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

GREAT IDEA 360! Some great bling to be worn with pride.

Count me in.

yep, Scrap Bling. this is one of the few things i actually want to advertize -- the more exposure for the Yard, the better.

GF- - i still would feel sorry for a neutered Mojo... seems like an oxymoron... you could just paint the catcher glossy red... a limited run called the Red Rocket Mojo...

man, it would be no fun having your leg humped by a SYKCO Mojo... owiee!!

what if you can detach the catcher. Anytime you need it just put it back on "click". Genius, eh?

cool -- detachable catcher... or you could get a separate one -- what is that samurai tool that looks like a sai with a knife blade and only one guard? A jute? Something like that...

it could bolt on like the early d-guard for the Steel Heart

Dog tags, hats and shirts - GREAT advertising while walking around the huge Tulsa gun and knife show next month!

no doubt -- i'll do my part to spread the word...

Blade catch on the CG, neutered on the LE? Eh? Can I get a second?

Now that is just gross MAN!!!

Stacey..I like that idea....hell I like the catchless CG model also....but either way I like it!

Just bring me a Res-c Mojo from the kennel, soon! Neutered, intact, shaved or with a coat. Anything!

Yeah, bring on the MOJOS. I think Scrap yard tags/shirts/hats would be awesome.

The Logo about 1' round on the back of a t-shirt would be fluggin awsome!!

Would that be a black shirt with a red logo, or the colors reversed ?

It could be a black or grey shirt with the Black Dog head and red letters...man that would just look awsome.......Powers above...are you listening?

I dunno why we never got hats/shirts at the Swamp. Give the people what they want! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I mean, it's a great deal for them...people PAY them money to advertise for them! In advertising it's usually the other way around. I too would love some Rat/Dog gear. There are a LOT of knife users out there, but a lot of them have never heard of the Busse family. I've had complete strangers many times come up to me and start talking knives after they see one of mine sticking out of my pocket or whatever. It would be a great conversation starter to "convert" people to the Busse family. Especially for those of us who carry more than one Rat/Hog/Dog EDC.

I wear my Emerson Knives shirts a lot.

I would like to be able to buy patches to put on my booksack, or camping gear.....hell, how about some bumper stickers.." This truck is protected by SCRAPYARD DOGS" Then a pic of the logo.....or "Drives carries no cash only a Scrapyard Dog" or "Want to touch my 9 inches of MoJo?" I have tons of them...

Powers above...are you listening?

Good ones GF !

nice -- i wonder if SYKCO realizes they have a new director of marketing?

I could design an EMPIRE!!!! We will take the Country by breeding in the strongest dogs there are and weeding out inferior species of blades! Back home in Texas there was a Local Band who sponsored a Little League football team, they put their logo on all the helmets.....great public awareness!

Great! I love 'em! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I might talk to a printer nearby if that is ok with the Powers above...who don't have much to say...I guess thay are all too busy grinding and shipping...they should take sometime off and chat with us!

Now we just need a couple of you computer geniuses to post a good picture of logos, etc. here. Then we could print them out, scan it, then after some manipulation, print it up on transfer paper. Application to shirts, hats, etc. would follow. All of this is assuming that it would be OK with Scrap Yard Knives. Is this possible ?

Oh great unseen MODS...hear our cries of woe and answer us!

I'm going to ask my wife to try to make an iron-on transfer- I'll let you know how it turns out.

You can get iron-on paper for your printer to make your own.

Yes Andy - my wife has made a few iron-ons before. They actually work pretty well. She made one for my son - a picture of a Heddon Zara Spook lure - and ironed it on a tee-shirt for him. He loved it!

Wow, I love fishing, but sporting a lure on a shirt is just impressive...He is the master and I am the student!

My son managed to out-fish me on my own pond, using a Zara Spook lure. So, as a reward, my wife made the shirt with the lure picture and the phrase "The Z Man". Pretty neat shirt really. He wears it with pride, especially around me when he is here. He loves to come up here for a "sanity break" when he needs to take a break.

Last time I went fishing was when my daughter was 2.....she just made three, but it seemed ages ago...I caught a brim and she was so excited...I really do think I should go again!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> GF - Take your daughter fishing whenever you can - it will probably be some of the best time you ever spend with her. My kids are 34 and 35, but they still fondly remember and talk about past fishing trips. My son is now my favorite fishing partner when we can get together - even if he DOES outfish me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> Just remember to be patient and attentive with her, and you will both have a great time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Would these tags be traditional style dog tags or bone shaped ones?

I seem to recall Busse having some special issue dog tags, and they looked pretty cool. After all, you don't want someone to see the tags and start calling you "bonehead" now do you ?!?

It's better than "numbnuts" like my dad calls me!

GF - I'm still laughing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> We don't want Andy to work with THAT one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

right -- please spare us the animal-nut pix lol

Well you don't have to worry about me, but that Andy is something else!!!

Well, once again you guys have me laughing so hard I have tears in my eyes! Gf - you're right - Andy is something else! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> A GOOD something else! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

no doubt, cuz is a trip... gotta love Andy....

Did you see the girl with the Chopper on her head!....man I once saw this girl working in BK and see had some contraption on top...I swear a ferret could have lived on her head without her knowledge!

Maybe one did, but it was just hiding from you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Battered and deep fried, ferret might not be so bad!

GF - you ARE from the South aren't you!?! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Have you ever had a deep fried candy bar? It's better than a slice of fried gold!

No, and if you say so! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Deep fried alligator is great also...actually anything battered and fried is good!

Ho ho my friend, not so! I was sorely disappointed by deep fried oreos, and deep fried snickers. Twinkies on the other hand.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I guess I'll stick to food such as shrimp and onion rings! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The ever elusive DF twinke!... I have heard it is quite the treat, though I never had the oppertunity to have one!

No time like the present GF ! Personally, I think the alligator sounds good, though I have never tried it (no alligators around here).

Thats too bad...it always adds some excitment when you go fishing to have alligators near you...we always brought our pistols for when they got too close.

I carry my pistol whenever I go fishing on my pond, but for snakes, not alligators. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Pistols for snakes!! You must be a crack shot! or they come really close....like for your shotgun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Like they say, "I'm not bad, but the bad don't mess with me". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Actually, although the years are slowly taking their toll, I don't do too badly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Crack Shot Ole Dog! Need personalized dog tags, custom ordered and send them out like Christmas cards!

Sounds good to me!

By the way, you're falling behind! Let's get with it GF !

I am working here!.....School test are killing me!

Well, I will keep you in mind whenever I post!

I won't be far behind!

I'll be looking for you !

Dan - what about the possibility of Dog Tags ?

About the same as Choppers...all in due time!

Well, maybe the time is due !

Sounds like a plan seeing as how they are cheaters in our midst...we should get the bowie now!

You are absolutely right - the cost of cheating is to release the BOWIE next. Regardless of how many Hogs try to "cross over"!

They are all welcome to pass their Bowies onto me....I wonder what variation we will see in the Yard....colors.....limited editions......Grinds!

Good question ! Perhaps the Yard will do two versions, like the Scrappers.

I don't want pretty knives...just some thick hard charging BMD...Bowie of Mass Destruction....I can't believe what a dork I am for saying thAt!

Well GF - we both are running a little low on sleep due to our posting frenzy. But you are right - the BOWIE should be next !

I will end up with a Tattoo like that fellow over there to the left if I don't get a bowie soon!

Don't do anything too drastic GF ! Besides, maybe Dan will see the justice in releasing the BOWIE next !!!

Seema as though my tattoo idea has been used!

Yes, and I bet it will be really cool! The Yard logo is really sharp, and should be great as a tattoo.

The logo is very cool, great for tattoos, tees, baseball caps(?) and on the side of large bowies! Dan should do an INFI Scrapper 7 (because I want one!) then concentrate on sr77 to be his own man. This is great start if he does it his way he'll strengthen the family..

Paul - let Dan release the BOWIE next, in SR77 as he stated before the poll. This is a seperate company, and should develop its own identity, regardless of how Jerry's kids try to influence it with Infi.
I think that when the Yard DOES release an Infi blade, it should DEFINITELY have the Yard logo on it!!!!!

Sorry in my post above I took it as read that the next knife (poll winner) would be the sr77 bowie ('on the side of large bowies'), I think the sr77 will be the 'dog thing and no bad thing too! The INFI Scrapper 7 is just my pet dream knife...

BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE!

Good thinkin. While they're at it, they could also do bumper stickers, keychains, back patches and button pins <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> my denim jacket could use some decoration <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Why not?? It's a great logo! (Better than the current SRKW one, sorry Eric!)

As a matter of fact, the logo would look GREAT on a nice new SR77 BOWIE !

bowie wif a logo, wee want it , wee need it.

Edited:

Also, the logo could be etched in gold, silver and bronze <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

pretty cool idea.On special runs,they could mark both the knife and 'tags with matching serial numbers!

I would just like to see anothe knife...well one in particular, but a new one none the less!~

Well GF - How abou that new BOWIE headed our way ?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Result guys, we got our bowie!! Proves pester pressure works! Thanks Dan!!

The squeaky wheel gets the BOWIE!!!

Well, it's like, i don't think any of us have anything against HOGs or infi (although i admit i like S7/SR-77 better), it's just that they didn't show up in droves from the beginning, they showed up when they thought they could get a knife made of infi on the cheap. THAT was what bothered me (and the fact that when they lost the vote they all split -- no, not all, but the numbers went from 17 viewing to 6 viewing. The subversive, do-anything-for-infi thing definitely has its place -- on the Busse Combat forum. Fanatic DOGS represent here -- in tha Dogg House -- holla!

Well said Dogg!

Right on, Brother Dogg! GROOOWWWLLLL! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

As a group, you can't find a nicer bunch than the Hogs, but dangle a piece of pork in front of them and they go hog-wild... i wouldn't want to get between a HOG and his or her INFI, that's for sure...

bow to tha wow... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

yes, i'm FINALLY a mongrel... you guys are the real deal, you must have had to stay up pretty late to get over 1000 posts by now...

Mongrel!!!! A milestone in your Dogg life!

MONGREL is certainly a mile-stone, but now we have to keep you climbing the ladder. There's plenty of room for more Scrap Yard Dogs !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Well done sr77dogg, it's cool to get mongrel I was well chuffed when I did!

I was interested in your thoughts about the hog invasion and the INFI. My INFI thing is because reviews suggest it has superb corrosion resistance, rust does worry me a little on sr77 or sr101 steel. While I voted for and will order a bowie I do hope Dan does some INFI (the shorty in the poll and a Scrapper 7 would be cool!). Did the hogs come here chasing cheaper INFI or INFI with res-C grips?? I'd be interested in your thoughts...

I think dogg said it quite well, and certainly can't fault the Hogs for wanting to get some Res-C/Infi at a great price - I certainly do !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I just don't think they should have subverted our vote - they could have waited until an Infi model was released and then purchased it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure if the hogs exactly subverted the poll but they sure did storm in on-mass to vote up the INFI. My only thought about it really is that it's a shame if they don't stay active on the forum and help shape a great company! If they came over just to bag a cheaper INFI knife I understand their drive, but as Dan's thing is sr77 perhaps they can support that as well? I hope Dan does do some INFI as he goes along, I'll order the INFI shorty (also a bowie of course!) and you all know my thoughts on INFI Scrapper 7s...

Gee Paul, what ARE your thoughts on a 7" Infi Scrapper ?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Let me guess, "Hell Yeah!"

Maybe... Nah you got me GF, 'hell yeah!'

Well said! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You know an INFI Scrapper 7 would be fine (very fine), but so would an S9... that could be even better! Anyone just mutter 'hell yeah'?

Paul - I hear you on the corrosion resistance thing - if i didn't practically live in a desert i would probably be a lot more keen on INFI - for corrosion resistance at that level of toughness and abrasion resistance, it seems like INFI pretty much eclipses every thing else that i can think of. My S6LEs have a little patina starting where my thumb rests on the spine in front of the grip, and again in the recess of the choil... if i lived someplace humid or near the ocean where any exposed steel becomes covered in red scale, i have a feeling i would develop a keen appreciation for corrosion resistance...

ps a S9 in INFI still gets a "Hell YEEEah, boyeee!!!" from me...

I went for the black Scrapper 6 so I have some corrosion protection. Thom seems pretty happy with S7's rust resistance, I figure surface patina should be fine as long as we dont get rust pits and other structural damage- no real problem... Let me know how the patina developes and how it cleans off please mate! Just as an aside I have an old and not much loved Eickhorn combat knife in (some type of) carbon steel, that is just my gardening knife and really doesn't get any maintainence other than a grind on a fine (low speed) carborundom wheel every so often. That knife goes away 'wet', 'wet and muddy' or 'wet muddy and sap covered'.. hardly a mark on it after 3 years(ish)! Perhaps carbon steel isn't the rot terror of my nightmares afterall.

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

INFI Scrapper 9 let me hear you say 'hell yeah!' (For Dan and Patti!)

Hell yeah !!! (In ADDITION to the Bowie!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hell yeah on the bowie for the BCAA!

Dan and Patti - the natives are getting restless for the BOWIE!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

And these are fairly scary natives too.... the 'assegais' these natives have got would make your eyes water!

Funny you say that Paul - I DO have a Cold Steel assegai! Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Why am I not surprised!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Well, I guess great minds DO think alike!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hehe, I can't chuck spears worth a [censored], I'd just throw stones at the animal until it was so p***ed off it charged me then 'brace spear' to resist a charge... If I ever have to go 'stone-age' in a survival situation I hope there are a few aggressive prey animals about!
