Wow! Just got my first ScrapYard in hand. SOD baby. All I can say is that I love it and I think I already need another. It feels great in the hand and although I usually prefer a flat grind on most knives the high saber works perfectly on this one. The balance is great and it chops really well for its size! Plus I love the slight clip point on this baby. Couldn't be happier with this one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I'll add pics to this as soon as somebody tells me how the hell to do it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Those SoDs are a great knife; many have compared it to the old Swamp Rat Camp Tramp. Its not quite the chopper that a DF is, but it's useful for more than just chopping and is quite a bit easier to carry; sort of like the relationship between the Busse Combat FBM and FSH.
OT comment: You made a good move by withdrawing your NMSFNO; I've been trying to cut back on my spending (Knob Creek was quite expensive), but I kept visiting your thread. I'd finally convinced myself that it was too good a deal to let pass when I saw you'd withdrawn it. Nothing against the M9LE (they're good knives and very HOT right now), but all things being equal, my opinion is that a NMSFNO with hand-shaped Micarta is the superior blade in all but appearance.

Yeah I'm glad I decided to keep it. I actually picked up a second M9 (I got the first for myself) to give to my brother only to relize that I had stretched my finances a little too far. I was going to sacrifice the NMSFNO but decided to sell the M9 instead and give my brother one of the S5's I'll be getting. He won't be any the wiser and I'm sure he'll love the S5. Those SoDs are a great knife; many have compared it to the old Swamp Rat Camp Tramp. Its not quite the chopper that a DF is, but it's useful for more than just chopping and is quite a bit easier to carry; sort of like the relationship between the Busse Combat FBM and FSH.

I love the SOD! Just a great all round useful tool. 1st thought I had when I got mine was "I shoulda ordered two!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The SOD was my first SY knife, and let me tell you--it is all down hill now!
