If it wasn't for SY I wouldn't have any INFI at all! I couldn't afford it. Even my GW I got because a great Dawg here (trade) so because of SY and the Yard I am able to "Taste" it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i33.tinypic.com]](http://i33.tinypic.com/30lkpd4.jpg) I feel lucky and fortunate to have scored it. Thank you Dan & Patti.

As I see it, the Scrapper 5 was win/win. Everyone who wanted a $100 coated SR101 version got one and anyone who wanted to pay more for a satin INFI version got one as well.
How can you go wrong??
If people had missed out on an awesome knife because it was ONLY available in high priced INFI that might be a different story, but everyone had the option of an amazing SR101 Scrapper 5 for $100.
From what I've seen, the S5CGs can still be had for reasonable prices in the secondary market too.

The best part is, now most everyone has a little bit of both, the cheaper version SR101 and the quite a bit more expensive INFI, now get out there and use em, side by side.......without saying a whole lot more, I'd like to hear the results of everyone's side by side test...............

I have got to say that I really like my s5le. My other knives came with a good working edge, but this one will shave hair. I think that I kinda agree with horndog. I did want to own at least one piece of infi, but now that I have one I think that I would be happy with more of the sr77. And the price is unbeatable.

I think somebody has been paying attention. It is nice to get a new knife that is ready to use. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it is nice to have the blades come out of the box ready to go. I know that since I started ordering my blades from the Yard starting with the SOD, the edges have been great compared to what some of the older releases had.

Some real hard uses side by side tests would be very interesting. I rarely go outdoors to use fixed blades, so I'm not going to be one of those testers, but I'd love to see something like this.

Well said PB52! I was as anxious for Dan to make an Infi S5LE as anyone, and I really appreciate the fact that Dan heard our yelps for one. I also GREATLY appreciate the mantra of Superior Performance to Price Ratio!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> We should thank Dan for his variance in knives instead of trying to tell him how to run his business. I trust Dan to stay with the idea of Superior Performance to Price Ratio - after all, HE was the one to "coin" the phrase! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Big Plus 1 on that from me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Some folks are never satisfied...even after getting what they want!
