I am working on it. I just don't want to post pics until done.

I am doing some mods to my RMD at the same time. And I am loving both more and more with each little tweak. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

IMO the SYDF design defines the yard for me. It just looks like something you want to spend quality time with and you just know it would have your back in a pinch.
I believe any Scrap Yard Anniversary should be a Dog Father, 11-12 inch blade, differentially tempered SR101 (uncoated) with a beefy Res-C grip & a SYKCO Ann. Logo etched BIG on the blades.

I would buy that in a heartbeat.

Thanks Bruce..... I have PLENTY of choppers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> And I am pretty sure I prefer the DFLE and Battle Rat.....

I actually had the Outcast on my "To Buy" list and have been doing good by NOT looking at that list and conveniently forgetting about certain knives..... as I can't afford them right now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I have been doing good by avoiding the trade forums and ebay. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

But, it has been BAD enough with Busse and kin releasing Waki's, Vex's, Regulators, S5's, M9LE's, NMSFNO's, etc. etc. I can't keep up. It is killing me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

And here you go and throw out the Outcast. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I am a SUCKER for Ken Onion's designs. I love the guys work. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
Although, I do seem to remember having some sort of issue with the Outcast's handle (??????) - But, I can't remember what. It was a few years ago that I last handled one and only briefly.

..... Edited to removed certain pricing discussion info.

Anyway.... THANKS.... Now I have another knife in my head after so much effort to keep other knives out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

DFLE with a differentially tempered, 12", SATIN, SR-101 blade AND with the "Beefy" new Regulator handles! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />


PLEASE STOP!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> .... I can't afford such AWESOMENESS right now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />


..... But, could I have that at about 0.20" thick. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

.

After seeing what SR101 can do, 0.20" would be more than enough!

Yep, make it a "Bushwacker" version. Long and thin 101 baby. Long and thin!

I see you Dogs have already decided that an anniversary knife is a done deal <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Am I shooting for the 5yr mark on this ???... LOL

A anniversary knife would be difficult due to the timing. The INFI scrap pile is going down but it is not out yet.

I do appreciate the input.

Dan

As a reminder, I would ask the Dogs to review the forum rules posted at the top of the forum list about discussing other makers and pricing. Enouugh

My bad, won't happen again. It did make for some good info though.
On a side note, the SR77 and SR101 I have tested proves more than sufficient.
I can't wait to try the INFI, hopefully it lasts long enough for the Anniversary blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Yep...no worries. TEST em like ya mean it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
