MAN thats a beaut! congrats! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Awesome knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Probably a lot of us will wish we had sprung for that one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

OK here is the HG55LE with some other knives. No Barkies, no Dumpster Mutts.

The only Dumpster Mutts I still own are the DMDC, DMLE, and Urban Mutt. Here it is with my unused DMLE.

What a sleek beauty!

Thanks. It is just what I had hoped it would be, a Busse with about the same size as the popular Buck 119. The Busse weighs about 11 oz.

How do you like the feel Horn Dog? handle shape, weight balance and all...

Still, I hope they post a pick of the S5 asap! I keep telling myself it will be similar and less than 1/2 the price...(as I drool looking at these photos)

The handle feels nice, big enough for my large hand, but not bulky. The way it widens toward the rear makes it very secure when slashing. The jimping on the spine is long enough to use in both the saber grip and choked up on the choil. There is a slight palm swell in the scales, too, that doesn't come out in the pics, but it feels good. Even though the knife is fairly heavy at about 11 oz, it is fast in the hand with balance on the first finger. In the reverse or stabbing grip, the flat pommel gives the thumb a place to rest. Oh, and I forgot to mention something very important to me: The knife came with a shaving sharp zero convex edge, like a Barkie, only in INFI!

if they had put the palm swell in the info i mightve gotten one!!<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> i wonder if the CG version has the same attributes?

I would think the CG scales are profiled the same. Did you ever find your package of knives today?

Thanks for the pics Vic! That helps a lot.. I am now hoping the Scrapper 5 will be this style..
