That really sounds like there was a fault in the metal. did you send a note to dan or patti yet? I don't doubt for a second they will treat you well!

Oh yeah, it was sent. I have no doubts that it wass only a fault and am still a loyal dog! My Scrapper has had the crap kicked out of it. Unfortunately this is something that event sharpening won't fix. If I were to do that it would shave the thin section off and would look like a chip in the blade.

I must say that it did eat the tree! Great chopper!!
Sorry to hear about your DF, DMelone. I was pretty tough on mine. No problems. Of course, I got the more expensive model (from a scalper). I'm sure Dan will make it right.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I actually thought about finishing the sticks, however I sheathed it and went on.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack. Carry on.

Again, these knives rock! The people who make them are the best. And the newbies should not get discourged by stuff like this as this is a one in million thing.

EVERY Busse (family) knife that I have owned is perfect!! So goes life. This is a great company, with a great product!

I had the day off today and a friend and I went into the woods. I choped a 3 inch tree down and chopped it into two to make walking sticks. I picked up the top portion to cut the branches off and before I was going to shave the bark off I checked the blade. A small section of the edge actually split off and the section that remained became jagged. The best that O could describe it was like slate rock when it splits. The part that came off took a small chip of coating with it.

I photographed the before shots and after. I didn't even get to using the baton. There were no rocks around and the only thing that I chopped was the wood. My friend was amazed as he saw me beat the crap out of my Scrapper 6 both chopping and batoning. He was amazed and all he said was that happend with wood.

What should I do with the DF? I love it and I know from years of using Busse that this must be the lemon of the bunch as everything, including your Scrapper is as tough as nails. Plus the fact that my was inspected by inspector 13.. Must be bad luck.

Sometimes, in rare cases, the steel can have a small air bubble or non-homogenous seam. Normally this is inconsequential. However, if this occurs along the edge, a chip will occurr as you describe.

No worries since ScrapYard offers the best warranty in the business. Please e-mail Patti and she will give you directions on returning your blade.

Dmelone - I think you SHOULD post that as you did - no need to make a new thread for something that we don't need to neccessarily "advertise." This is Ganza Night Discussion - and we're up for WHATEVER you've got to talk about brother. We all know that Dan and Patti will take care of you though. Just gotta wait for the Brown Truck again!!!

Oh, God no... I do not want this to get out to the newbies, Thats why I posted here to get the other Scrap Yard Dog's advice. I was actually gonna go back and delete my original. I wasn't going to post a new thread on this one. In the case here, were all friends so it made it easier.
