I hung out on BF. I favorite knives where Spyderco for folders and Becker for fixed blade.

I have always collected knives, especially choppers, bowies, kukris, and machetes. I would buy them from Cold Steel or various catalogs. Then I got on the internet. Been poor ever since. I started on the old Ontario RAT forum. Then I got on Blade Forums. Then Diceman, who was on the Ontario forum turned me onto the Dog Father in Feb 2007. I had heard of Busses and Swamp Rats but didn't know where to buy them. I just missed the DF but got one on ebay. Now I have a room full of Busse steel. This is the only forum I am very active on. I occasionally visit Busse, Swamp Rat, and Wilderness Survival Forums. On Knife Forums I visit Bark River and Ranger.

I mostly hang out on BF in W&SS but like to keep my toes in the water here. I like this place and the atmosphere. I mostly like fixed blade knives. I'm not completely married to Bussekin knives, but I appreciate their qualities and seem to come back for more. When I came for the SOD I thought this was going to be my little foray into the indestructible knife world and then I would pop right out with my trophy. It didn't work that way. Here I am ordering a scrapper 5 and feeling guilty for not getting in on the scrapmuk. I also like to hang at a fledgling site that was put up by Sharpshooter called forest and stream.

I should add that I now own several Busse Combat knives! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I watched Sharp's youtube review of the FFBM, then his scrap yard and swamp rat reviews.

I have been trying to remember how I first stumbled onto Scrap Yard. It was only a year ago, but I can't place it for the life of me!

I remember Noss's tests of the Scrapper 6 and FFBM, and I remember Sharp's videos as well. But I just can't recall when I first heard of SYKCO.

I wish I could, it's driving me crazy1 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I guess the main thing is that I'm glad I'm found here however I did! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've always been into knives. I don't remember exactly but somewhere during the days surfing I followed a link..........

It led me to a place filled with great people and great knives what more can you ask for ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I was on bladeforums for a while and ran into this site from there, been on here ever since.

I love knives for a while and knew only one thing That Busses were hard to find and were $500 bones. I learned of swamprat and and finialy got to see them at Blade West 05 (thank you Troy), and got my Howling Rat. My first knife that I got that was was "expensive" ($89.00 iirc) Later that year Scrapyard ran their "from a rat infested nucular swamp..." adds in blade magizine and I went to the website about once a day to check it, I had been on bladefourms alot too. My dad happened to be up at some odd hour and saw that the Yard had opened he got a Scrapper 6 with an invoice # below 20. I was not too intrested at the moment and hunted for a Battle Rat. In Feb 06 I joined the fourm and ordered a Dogfather. Got an S6 by proxi from my Dad at Blade West 06 and my collection grows again when my S5 gets here. ohh and I made some good friends at the yard, and have had some good times too.

Me too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
