What are the chances?

I sure hope that newer folks get a chance at them! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

in my dreams!

I think Dan knows what he's doing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

An S6 would be nice. I could still go quite a while longer without seeing another DM variant or reproduction.

Oh yeah'! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

They're classics. I'm positive we'll see them again, it's just a matter of when. 2 week BST. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />Oh no, not THAT!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Well, after Recon Seed talking up the DM, I want one and see it for myself.

I would love to see an S6 release. I would like to see the DM too, but not as much!

I'm in for both!

Lol yeah Clint, what the heck am I saying? I would buy both in a heartbeat!

Its only the best knife SY has ever made. The best for carry, the do-all combat knife, made for military personnel, thickest, strongest, least likely to break (virtually impossible), only SY blade with a penetrator tip, has great old busse combat grips that allow soldiers with small hands to get a death grip on the blade. Im telling ya, aint nuttin like a black DMCG! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />If Danruns the black DMCG, I will buy a few more. This knife is one I will have until the day I die. Period. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

How about an SR101 DMCG??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Someone get Reconseed off of the DMCG soapbox! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'd love to see some more S-6's come out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well tyger, it DID take a while to get him off the S6 soapbox! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I would be all over another S6, one of my all time favorites.

Recon, how do you carry that again?

Heck, you have sold me on one or two if they are ever re-run.

I'd be up for both. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Once again, and not to slam anyone or come across as saying "I got mine...", but...

I recall that there were some quite vocal elements saying, "We want something new, not the same old stuff" when Dan re-released knives. Now that we're getting first-time releases, there seem to be a lot of questions about re-releasing Dog Fathers and S6s -- calls for more DMs are not as common -- they're still pretty easy to find in the secondary market.

I suspect that you'll never see another "original DM" release, if for no other reason than I believe all of the old Busse basic handles have been recycled. Last Fall there were lots of 2nd generation DM CGs and YK CGs at Knob Creek, this Spring it was SoDs and YKs. For Military Overruns and leftovers, you'll need to go to shows because it's simply not practical to post very small quantities in the online store.

Perhaps Renee might be willing to maintain a "wish list" for when one or two of something are left over from a run, or perhaps not -- I doubt she's just sitting there waiting for something to do, and a list could become a significant source of aggravation if people keep inquiring about their status. Additionally, that's part of why people go to the shows, so they might well choose to keep them available for those.

I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see more Dog Fathers and hopefully more S6s as well -- I think S6s have always sold very quickly. However, if those are re-released, I hope not to hear complaints about only having the same old stuff for sale again.

I wouldn't be surprised to see some Dog Fathers and Scrapper 6s at Blade, maybe in some new colors.

A tanker grey S6 would be nice!

That would be sweet !! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Well, considering that Im only the ONLY soapbox of its kind, its hard to deny its perfection for a military knife. No other 5 inch knife in terms of strength and tough can touch it. Fact jack. Sorry the DMCG praise bothers you, I dont intend to stop anytime. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />

Jim - people call for the DMCG, S6, and DF's because.... THEY ARE THE BEST! IMO, those 3 knives are the best. I still want a NEW DFCG!!!! Once I get one of those, you guys are going to have to petition to get me banned by Klink. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> But my new DMCG that I found on another forum will be here soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Oh yea and my sheaths!!!!!

hey recon,

on a serious side, why do you like the dmcg better than the s6 as your service blade? weight, size, cutting ability, balance????

RN (and RS) as far as catastrophic failure goes, I think the s6 will be just as tough. more minor failures (tip failure, dents, small edge blowouts etc.) I would think the s6 would be able to handle the same amount as the DMCG.

RS. I personally sure don't mind any praise you give to... well, any scrapyard!
It's well deserved after all.

"Well, considering that Im only the ONLY soapbox of its kind, its hard to deny its perfection for a military knife"

I just don't understand what your trying to say there.
I'm guessing a spelling error.

I would say that when paired with a small folder or it would be perfect.

Also, I can't deny that the DMCG is one of the (if not THE) toughest 5" knives around... but Strong is a completeley different term that does not accuratley describe the DMCG imo.
really just "nitpicking" I guess.
just thought I'd let you know... for future reference. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Also, I would have to agree with Jim.
For the longest time I remember people begging for new models!
I would just keep asking for newer models.
the s6 and DF are Sy classics IMO and I would hope will be releaded again sometime in the future <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />... but for now keep pumping out the new models! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

(also, there have been MANY releases of the DM and hopefully there won't be too many more in a while)

S6's in new colors <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> . Just as long as it's SR-77 steel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I just loves SR-77!!!, here's just one of the reasons why.

As some of you know I test all my knives chopping, skinning & quartering Deer. And being the session I went out for the first time this year, saw this one sleeping about 150m away. Drove a 210gr TSX from my 338 Win Mag into her spine. As you can see it was a quick kill.

Some think that a biggish blade cannot perform the tasks of a smaller blade. Well the S6 proved this theory wrong. With boning out one of the legs with ease & precision.
In-hand the S6 has little peers in the 6" class IMO. With it's SR-77, which takes & holds an edge great! Strength, well, we all know just how great this steel is.
I could write up a longer review but I feel this might not be so welcomed here as my pic's do contain some explicit shots. So I will keep it simple.


Running the S6 down the spine to open up the skin was nothing short a fantastic. Man this knife ROCKS as a one knife DO IT ALL survival <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />


I also tested the Strider SMF. For a folder this knife also performed like a champ. Man I wish Scrap Yard bought out a folder in SR-77 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Next test will be with my Busse Skinny ASH & FAT Game Warden. I think the GW will excel but I cannot see the ASH keeping up with the S6. Stay tuned.

Great pics to see the S6 in action.

RS, I appreciate the DMCG, and many other designs as well. I was only teasing you a little that's all; that's why I put the smiley face after it, so you would know it was in good humour.

On a serious note, I agree the DMCG is a good knife. As a fellow soldier that has served my country overseas on three tours, and looking at a fourth in the near future, I can appreciate the need for a knife you can rely on. The DMCG is a very good blade for those of us who need a knife that we can trust not to break when we're out in the middle of nowhere. It's essentially a prybar with an edge, and it's good at it.

However, I use a knife for much more than just my job as a soldier. I hunt, I fish, I do chores in my yard, I camp.... I could go on and on, but you get the point. I find certain blade designs are better for certain jobs.

I appreciate a nice Muela, Cold Steel, Himalayan Import, or Spyderco, and of course the various designs offered by the three Busse companies. Variety is the spice of life, and knives are a pleasant "spice" to enjoy; just ask fellow dogs like HornDog and Klink.

I'm not saying to stop praising the DMCG, just to maybe try something different every once in a while. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well done Tezza! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good point Tom, I forgot to congratulate him on the awesome workout he put that S6 to! Nicely done! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

tger , no hard feelings bro!!!

what i mean by the DMCG being the only soapbox was that there is only ONE soapbox one can be on regarding 5 inch sharpened prybars and thats what i was saying.

Nice pics of that deer cleaning.
Im curious as to how your fat GW will preform.
I would think not so well as it will try
and split due to wedge action....
Anyway,nice pics!
