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.

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="" />
