Nice work, Vic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I was very tempted to pick up another BDLE myself, but I spent most of my Blade funds on something big and shiney and made of INFI! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Most Scrap Yard knives are made for rough military field use, and while they will certainly cut, they are not great slicers. The YK CG, MPLE, and SMLE slice pretty well. The new Scrapper 5 promises to be a good slicer, too. But the little BD is the best SY slicer I own. The 1/8" thick blade allows a very thin edge. I love these knives and picked up another one at Blade with a black handle. Having sharpened several of them for others, I have the technique down for turning these little small game/fishing knives into world class slicers. They make great boning knives, too. Today I put the edge on my new one. That 154CM may be hard to sharpen, but man does it ever take a sharp edge. The BD is one of my favorite Scrap Yard knives. It serves me well in the kitchen and as a handy blade in the woods.
