Here is some more blasphemy, you can get some very tough knives in 5160 steel with micarta handles for SYKCO prices or less from a major US knife company. Now that IS blasphemy, tsk tsk! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Remind me never to run for public office. You know darn well that not quoting what followed leaves the impression that I thought the 5160 knives were of equal quality. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Putting scales on a Scrapper would requre a hidden tang to do it right. If I wanted that, I'd send it to a knifemaker who does such such work.

Well . . . ALL of my Busse Kin knives with blade lengths greater than 6" have Res-C handles. ALL of my Busse Kin knives with blade lengths of 6" or less (except my YKLE display knife) have Micarta or G10 handles. Or to put it another way, Res-C on Busse Kin choppers and camp knives, Micarta or G10 on Busse Kin utility knives and EDCs. That's the way I like it . . . uh huh, uh huh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Should be "That's the way uh huh, uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh..." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Drat...just dated myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Why not just buy a BUSSE?The price would be a bit more but not much,as I believe HD is right about the price hike.I have to admit I like the micarta on anything with a 6 in. blade or under but res-c can't be beat on a chopper IMO.Of course a SOD with micarta handle would be an instant classic,as if it's not already!I wouldn't mind seeing some micarta either N1.

I would buy a micarta handled Scrapper in a heart beat. However, I love the feel of the Res-C for cutting/chopping.

Thanks It's not really that hard to do, with the right equipment, materials, time and a little know how. I've done it many times to other brand blades, blade blanks and a few of my own custom pieces. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

but I hate to destroy a perfectly good Res-C handle. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Don't have to. You can pad the blade, clamp it in a vise, drill out the lanyard hole, and pull the handle off.

I didn't know that, Andy. You mean the only thing holding the handle onto the knife is the lanyard fastener? That and a lot of friction. The handles aren't molded onto the knives. That's why the old basic handles turned up on the DMs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I don't remember who posted it, but 1 or 2 people have taken their handles off this way. It was either here or the Swamp.

Don't have to. You can pad the blade, clamp it in a vise, drill out the lanyard hole, and pull the handle off. Are you sure about that Andy? I'm sitting here messing with one of my well worn and beaten DMDCs and it looks pretty well attached even if the thong hole was drilled out.
