unless the ats34 buck striders are thicker, they're 4mm, which is .145", not .187". also coming in at 4mm are the paradigmatic tanks from spyderco, the manix and the military. chinook too. still, delica and endura are only 2.5mm and they're pretty tough to improve on. the alox swiss army knives have thicker blades as well. all pretty tough to beat in the value performance market that scrapyard competes in. personally i feel it's tough to beat those knives at any price.

I want a quality folder that is a user that I can also take down myself and clean. Something along the lines of a Sebenza or Strider.

Mag - you'd know better since you have one - I just did a quick google search and came up w/ 3/16 somewhere. Anyways, not that I don't like Spyderco (I really don't think they're that great though) - but I'd hate to see Scrapyard make a really thin blade - kind of goes against the rest of their products I think. I'm sure that I'd get one either way, but I'd like to see 3/16 and substantial looking.

i'm assuming you also want it to cost less than those. the buck 889 is a beast at a good price, made in the USA. kershaw storm is a poor man's sebenza, in my eyes at least. smooth action, solid lockup, a flipper, and good steel. made in the USA and disassembles very easily.

Diceman, if your concept of scrapyard is about toughness, then yeah, the thin blade doesn't mix with the rest of the line. if it's about performance, then it does. it's really all in perspective, we're all here for our own reasons.

Yeah, I'm kind of a wishy washy speculative indecisive guy... I do really like my Ontario RAT3 and its pretty thin. I recant on almost every statement made previously. But a monster folder would be sweet.
