Hey all you Dog-users out there, has anyone tried some cutting that would test edge holding? Cardboard, rope, cinderblocks, anything?
Also, Dan/Patti, with the changes to S7's chemistry and heat treat that have been espoused here, what kind of edge retention can all us dogs expect, relative to A2, SR101, or INFI?
I absolutely love this company by the way, practical knives with emphasis on performance over looks are EXACTLY what I've been looking for! Kudos to you two, and please don't go upmarket or play supply games with us like Swamp Rat. I can't wait 3 months for a knife!
Hey baby, you wanna kill all humans?

Yep Scrapyard as they stand right now could well be the best knife company in the world in a year or two. (Including the relatives in the rest...) Good product, good pricing and founders who read and contribute to forums. More kudos to add to Blondiestomps!

Great question on the steel mods -- and as far as playing supply games go, AMEN TO THAT!!! Hopefully everyone in retail takes a lesson from those guys in terms of how not to run a business. Let's see some new products, whether they are paint scrapers or bread knives, hopefully something is already on the way!
We need a 5/16" (or thicker) SR-77 BOWIE!!! (Written back in early '07 -- Regulator Premonition?)

Great observation Paul! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Actually, allergies are kicking my butt today - I guess that's why I forgot to mention that the BOWIE should be next. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> BOWIES - it's what you chop and slice dinner with ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Paul, you're right - both would be better. However, if only one is to be released, let it be the BOWIE!!!
