Bloody over here (no asterisks as GF doesn't) is sort of minor to middle level swearing. It's not too bad really, I just thought I'd try to avoid 'cussing' having said that I suppose 'hell yeah' may annoy some.
Your point about Dan listening to us is spot on and is good for us all, especially us BOWIE lovers!

My wife and I get into these debates...our child is 3, and she gets onto me when I slip on my swear-o-meter, but then she plays music with our child in the car, that I consider vulgar!.....What to do....besides get a BOWIE!

I've heard that a new BOWIE is just the cure for those folks who need a large steel blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Dan, this is the perfect chance for you to "play Doctor" and get away with it. I'm sure that a new Yard BOWIE would be the perfect remedy for GF's ailment! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Regarding sharpness, i think it depends on your usage as well, one person may receive it and want to push cut paper with it/prepare dinner, the next guy might want to go and beat on some 2X4s. AFAIK you should have different edge geometries for each use. From the busses and rats that i have, i kinda prefer that they have an edge that's not too sharp new, i mainly use them outdoors so i prefer a more durable edge. Just my 2 cents <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hello Carpenoctem - Welcome to the Yard! Interesting point about the edge geometry, but I feel that a knife's main function is cutting. My Swamp Rat BattleRat is a great chopper, but it came to me ready to shave hair. THAT is the way I feel a knife edge should be! I hope the new Scrap Yard Bowie will be the same, but of course, it's different strokes for different folks!

It'll be interesting to see how the edge on the bowie (when I get one now Dans done the decent thing!) matches up to my Scrapper 6 (still in the mail!) when it arrives. Edge wise I'm along the lines of PK, I like my big knives sharp (even my Tramontina Bolo is sharp and set to around 25 degrees), hair popping works for me.
