thank you all for the warm welcome!

I'm ready to order 2 of these !!

Yeah, I'm probably gonna do that to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

(I say as if I have no choice in the matter.)

How long do you figure it takes to make a blade anyway?

I honestly have no idea? Is some of the process relatively automated or run on machines, perhaps the inital cutting/shaping?

Sorry.. newbie qeustion again.

Brad

Sure you have a choice:

Buy one, be miserable because you don't have a spare.
Buy two, be miserable because you're unsure if you picked the right two.
Buy three, one of each style, but not spares of each style
Forget four or five, buy 6, have pretties to look at, AND one of each style to play with!

Or, you can buy 3 of them, use one, save one as a safe queen and keep the third one for about 6 months and sell it on the exhange for an inflated price to help pay for the 2 you are keeping <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

based on past sales i'm sure DAN and the folks at SCRAPE YARD have a good idea about production...........its a business after all.....might have to work some over time though.....i hope

Hmmmm yes you see well <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> . But realistically for me ATM, I'm in for 2. One for the boy & myself. Ad's took one look at these SOD's, looked at me with that look kids give their parents. And said, "MUMMA". But that's going to happen after your 10 year old cuts his teeth on Scrap Yard knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> . His collection(YKCG & DMDC) is yearning for an SOD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

If only I lived in the US, man I would buy up big. Six, yeah I like that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now to work out how to pre-order off ScrapYard Co, once these go up. I've never "PRE-ORDERED" before <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> . Hope the different time zone doesn't screw me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

tick tick tick tick tick, were all a little closer..........soon i'll join the brotherhood.....i'm all choked up.....its like the birth of a child........i'm so happy........

Wow! Now that was somehting that I did not expect!!! Good work Dan! Unfortunately I will have to sit this one out.

none of us outsiders knows Brad, it's a Busse secret; personally I think they have elves mellowed up on Johnny Walker Blue doing everything!

Elves!!! Ha!! Perhaps dwarves as well?

They have a large machine. They pour a mixture of iron and carbon and some trace metals in one hopper, and recycled Schwinn handle bar grips in another hopper, and five minutes later a new Scrap Yard knife comes out. All they need to do is count them and turn the machine on and off. And shovel the coal. A huge coal-fired mechanical computer with lots of wheels and gears does all the rest. I hope that helps.
