I fell in love with the INFI of SS-4. Missed the offering and bought mine months later at a substantial premium in the secondary market.

I LOVED my SS-4. I had Rainwalker make a beautiful Python sheath for it I loved it soooo much.




Enter the Scrapper Five. The thickness,the color combo I chose,and the added surprise of Swamp Rats own steel being used. The length is what I wanted in the SS-4 but didn't get. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

It has all the build of a Dog Mutt without the pry tip and .280 thickness. Lending it to many more uses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The color is beautiful,the steel rocks, and the length exceeds the SS-4 with weight,height and a longer Mudder handle than the Busse basic used on my DMCG. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I am overjoyed with the new S-5 and see it getting much more use and carry than the SS-4 or DMCG ever got. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


But then there is that Scrap Yard Stainless.....God how I love all three models. The Bird is just ridiculous.The Muk is over the top useful and the Puppy gets the short end of the stick out of the three. But is still a ultra sweet shape and style. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Scrap Yard Knives are continuing to amaze me at every turn. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Now how do they top the S-5 release? Never happen. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I agree Pop.

I don't think I can turn my back on the SS4. But, I have been comparing and while the SS4 is still just awesome, the S5 offers a bit more for very little extra size or weight.

Personally, I missed on the Muk and have been regretting the miss.

I think the MPLE is under-rated.

The Bird wasn't my thing and I am not feeling too left out. But, glad others seem to really like them.

The DMCG is still an amazing TANK. But, not as realistically usefull for my purposes.

The S5 is AWESOME. In MANY ways, it offers a lot of what I had always hoped the RMD would offer and the RMD was already VERY AWESOME. But, the S5 has a blade shape I prefer and is lighter in weight to carry by over 3 ounces.

I might have to make a few "Minor" tweaks to my S5 to suit "My" hands and personal preferences. But, it is offering a LOT as is.

The S5 has my FAVORITE all-round use blade shape!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

For the record, I weighed my S5CG at 6.75 ounces. What a LOT of knife for the weight!!!


SS4................. = 5.5 ounces; .200" thick ; 4.25" blade; 9" oal

S5CG................. = 6.75 ounces; .185” thick; 5.125” blade; 10.125” oal

Ratmandu (micarta)....= 10.0 ounces; .189" thick; 5.3125" blade; 10.5" oal


Picking a favorite is getting SO HARD!!!

I wish I had a SS4 and a RMD to compare. How does the SS4 balance compared to the S5?
