I think some little doodads made from scrap pieces would be great. I've got lots of friends with lots of keychains to hang things from.

Hell Yeah !!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Atwood stuff is neat, but not that neat when you see the price tag.

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

I voted YES! I'm in for a few. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

A small knife with a bottle opener would be cool.

I did! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> Remember that Scrap Yard is a small company, and I would rather have them devote their time to making KNIVES! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I voted no for the same reason.

+1

that's why I voted NO.

Steel costs way too much just to throw away. I say just sharpen and treat all of the smaller scraps in whatever shapes they may be in and sell them in grab bags as ninja throwing weapons. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Who knows if they even have quality scraps that they can make a reasonable amount of these things for.
besides, Busse (and SY too I would guess) throws out plenty of steel that doesn't meet their requirements, I don't think a bunch of useless scraps are going to mean much to them.
besides... all these scraps would have to meet SY's standards, which (if anything like Busse's) are very high and all of these scraps would have to pass too.
Don't get me wrong, I think those kinds of things are VERY cool and potentially useful... but no way is it worth it.
It's not SY's thing... they should keep making serious knives!

Call me crazy but my personal preference would be for SYKCO to ignore distractions and ship more cutlery, more often.

I'd rather a new blade than some doodads made from scraps of old blades.
