Once I replace the Yard Hook (loses its edge too fast) with a SRKW, I'll let fly a Brenneke Short Magnum slug towards it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> .



You don't really want to do that. What you really want to do, is send that YH to me. At a significant discount.

Welcome scrappy doo,

However you do this, be in a safe place and be very very careful.

It should be interesting.

Any knife can be damaged. It is certainly not designed to be a bullet stop. This would be an intentional attempt at damage to do something that it was not designed to do. I hope you’re not thinking that the warranty would cover it, cause I wouldn’t bet on it.

Our guarantee is simple. We warrant your knife against any and all unintentional MAJOR damage for life. The Scrap Yard guarantee is on the knife and NOT just for the original owner.

I agree...

Anything that man builds man can destroy...

While any damage claim is subject to Dan's review and he does fully stand behind his product. I would also not bet on it being covered.

And from a personal stand point I would not even consider a warrenty claim under such circumstance because I believe it would be an unreasonable and unfair request of Dan's warrenty and his generosity....


JYD#14 Do you need one, of course you do it's a knife and you like knives.....

I don't see the purpose in deliberately destroying a knife you intend to keep. I have damaged and broken my share, but never on purpose. The destruction tests that are done by manufactureres and testers to demonstrate the limits of knives do not, in my mind, represent legitimate use that should be covered by any warranty. Now shooting TVs and computers makes perfect sense. After all, they are evil and already broken.

Just to let ya know I never intended to return it under the warranty.
I figured the outcome would be something like it was and I would still have a very usable knife, just with a cool beauty scar.

I really don't agree with what even NOSS does I would love to have half the knives that he destroys deliberately.Though i will admit it's fun to watch and it also shows the limitations(or lack thereof!)of many quality knives.I think that we are all aware of the strength of the knives around here,don't need to shoot at them unless you want to.Honestly I don't think a .45 will do much more to a Dog than mar the finish!I think it would be more fun to put it through a series of realistic hard-use applications that way you come to love the knife even more and it may become your go to knife because it can be counted on(it's proven it).

You should try putting it in a vise and try splitting bullets by firing at the edge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
