OK lads, lets do a poll to see which SYK needs to come back SOON?
We have all these new sweet fancy designs upon us but I also believe we need to keep it real & pay respect to where it all started. Scrapper 6, Dumpster Mutt, Dogfather etc.
We'll keep it simple so CG & SR-77 steel will be the pick in this poll.
I have only listed the older knives which I felt would be realistic for a re-run.

Personally I feel Scrap Yard NEED to do a run of Scrapper 6's, Dumpster Mutts & Dog Fathers at least once a year, with S6's & CGDM's first on my list. What about you?

Which 2 need to come back? multiple choice, up to 2 choices
	Scrapper 6
	Dumpster Mutt
	Dog Father
	Yard Keeper
	Yard Guard
Votes accepted starting: 05/14/09 10:31 AM You must vote before you can view the results of this poll.

Honestly, I see nothing there that I absolutely NEED to have. I guess the dogfather would be cool, scrapper 6 isn't different enough from the S5 for me to care, dumpster mutt doesn't fit my needs, and yard keeper and guard just don't work for me in SR-77.

Much rather have a SOD release than any of those.

i completely disagree and if any knives should be around all the time, they should be the smaller stainless models. how bout a mud puppy combat grade?

i like seeing new stuff all the time and being limited and exclusive adds to the value and mystique of the Busse family.

I voted S6 and DM...But I think variations of the originals would be best. What allows these knives to hold their value is that they are available for a short time and then no longer available after that. That helps them retain their value.
If they were constantly being re-released that would go away as anyone could buy a classic by just waiting for the next release of a particular classic. So, I vote for releasing variations of the classics but not the originals. Leave those for the secondary market.

If the S5 is any indication of the newer styles to come...then I say let them continue on that track. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Good poll! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

YEEEESS! And while were at it, how about making it 1/8" thick<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Fare comment, & maybe another poll on stainless Vs coated(CG). And another good call on the CGMP <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

OK, maybe we(forum members) could get an option from Scrap Yard on some of the older & newer models we lust after. Now that would be sweet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

now we're talkin!

I would like a solid lead dogfather.

I voted Dogfather and scrapper 6.. I want both of those, but don't to pay secondary market prices..

I would also like to see a SS4LE in 154cm...

lead...interesting choice.

I am kidding of course, though lead would be kind of interesting it's less then ideal for knives.

Yes, a dogfather shaped boat anchor...

Ooh a boat anchor, I could use one of those.

Though I don't have a boat and I live in Iowa I could still use one.

As much as I want/like the classics, I'm all for new things as well. A run of either of those every now and then would be awesome, but I want a Scrap Yard Sword and Khukuri already!!

I voted for the DM and DF by the way.

I agree I want something new too.

I think a small neck knife would be awesome.

i want to vote "None" but i can't, thus i haven't seen the results. what's in last?

keeper, though i'd take that over a guard.

Dogfather, and whatever else.

+1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I would buy a CGDM in a heartbeat! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I voted for the YardGuard, basically because I want it and the Hook, but haven't been able to get them yet!

Although I already have them, I voted DogFather and S6. It would be nice for newer Dogs to have a chance at the truly great blades! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I voted DF and S6. Those knives in my opinion best represent what Scrap Yard is all about.

Why would I vote for yet another Dog Father? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Greed? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Need? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Succeed? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

God Speed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I would jump on another DFCG in a heartbeat. This one I would keep in a Ziplok bag and watch it as I grow old. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

The original DFCG is a weekend EDC for me here. I whack 4' tall weeds,dead branches on pines,and even stump out old shrubs with mine. I stripped it clean during a Horn Dog strip-fest a couple years back and since the week after I did it I wished I had left it to wear evenly. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

The CG was wearing wonderfully and I always wondered how it would look in years.

Perhaps if Dan made another run of them I would open the Ziplok and live. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bring it back one more time Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />


Peace.

O-YEAH <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

i like this poll. i voted for the DMCG (of course) and the DFCG. i hated not picking the S6 because i think it is one of the best knives made, all around. But I just cant deny my love for the thick, DFCG and how much i really want to score a new one of these, so i had to vote for that!

SS4 in infi is what i would want to see brought back.

there was no DMCG option RS.
the DM itself has been brought back MANY times by Dan.

I voted s6 because that's the size knife I like right now...
and I'm angry that i never got one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

For weight lifting or for the gas pedal...it would work for both <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Dan

DFCG for me! I would of course get a DM, but with the new S5....that is gonna be hard to beat in that size class. I need a DF!

I'm with boots. Everyone else has a necker. I would love a SY necker, which would also save me from getting a RAT Izula.

How about a scrap dispenser!!

im so caught in between...the classics are great but i try to only buy knives i NEED. since i got a fbm i dont NEED a df, s6....SOD, YK.....S5. i got my first LE from the swamp...

now a khuk....that sounds like a NEED!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Everyone needs a Scrapper 6 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Amen! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> (and a DogFather!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've already got a Scrapper 6 and Yard Keeper and don't care for the handles on the Dumster Mutt. Don't like or dislike the Yard Guard. The Dog Father would be my choice but is to expensive to buy privately right now. We'll see! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

That would be nice if SY released some more of them

since im new here i think i would get at least 1 of each that is on the poll

i guess id get a DFLE and S6 if dan could somehow manage to using the same pricing points that they were before. itd be about the same price as a M9LE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How about the Scrapyard re-releasing the Swamprat classics,makes sense to me now they are the sole users of Res-C and now even have some SR101 !

What d'ya say.....Howling Rats, Bandicoots, Camp Tramps ???????????

i had both the HR and HRLM...wasnt my style. never handled a coot yet but i like that shape more. id reckon the HR made a great skinner though with that huge belly!!!

Great idea pitman - would love to get my hands on a camp tramp without paying second hand prices <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Love to see the S-6, Dogfather and SS4 released again.

Those three work for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

and since this is a completely subjective question or poll, who cares? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Secondly, since Dan has brought this variant back the most, what does that tell you? Its pretty damned popular and that is IS 1 of if not THE MOST versatile knife the Yard has put out.

i wouldnt mind seeing this either man. id like to get a thick piece of SR101 with Res-C handles with a Yard stamp on it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Actually, it only tells me it is profitable. Popular I would agree with though...

I have an idea. Yes, bring back the Classics.................in SR101! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I ended up voting for the DF. My results are the same as the poll. DF, then S6, then I don't care because I own a version of the other 3 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

maybe ill throw in a swing vote at the end <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Or most people have one. It is the most common SY release <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if those others, who DON'T think the DM is the most versatile knife ever, have actually USED one? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'll admit, I'm mildly curious to use one, but I also use knives primarily for cutting, and so the "sharpened pry bar" category has little appeal for me to spend my hard-earned money. Might end up grabbing one at some point anyways, just so I can form my own opinion on the knife after actually, you know, using it. I can guarantee *my* DM wouldn't keep that nifty factory coating looking nice for more than a few days.

i dunno. i have used mine(urban mutt) & it performed.

chops ok...




can pry with it too


it the sharpest scrapyard knife i have received to date & remained that way.i havent touched the edge since those pics....


i brought it home this weekend to see how it does in the backyard

RS: I'm just saying man...
the DM has been brought back a lot and I remember some dogs were almost sick of them.

and honestly something like a DMLE or something is a LOT different than the DMCG.

and once again, (I've said it before) i would NOT call the DM (the DMCG to be more specific) versatile.
not saying it doesn't perform... but that it IS suited to prying and busting through stuff... not more general cutting tasks that other knives (or even other DM variations) can do.
now I've never used one myself, I'll be honest... but i don't need to, to know that it's not going to suit any of my needs better than a knife similar to an s5 or something.

now for you it may suit YOUR needs... whatever they may be,
but I would say you are a minority on that one.

I used mine one hell of a lot, if ya want a knife to batton through everything you can think of then get one but if ya want a knife to cut and slice then think twice....nearly rhymes !!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

IMO the Ratmandu is a far more versatile knife and still plenty tough !!!!

The DMCG just needs some sweet love time with a sander is all...

I prefer the Ratmandu as well. It cuts better. But for prying open a jammed door on a HumVee, the DM would be hard to beat in a small knife.

Reconseeds has cut butter like it was.....erm....and opened envelopes with zero damage to the edge !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You're just jealous that you are not an Ordnance Lt with the proper training to test such "weapons" without damaging them at all! You messed yours up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Well done H/D!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The RMD is a good solid design no doubt but I do think he DMDC has a much sweeter feel in ALL hand positions. But saying that, I did have a G10 version. I felt that this model did not provide enough grip with wet hands. The micarta version would be my choice in the RMD.
At the end of the day just give me a Dumpster Mutt with Res C & SR-77 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
