I imagine Jerry and Dan are always trying new protocols. Whatever they did, that Scrapazishi is amazing. Even companies like Buck have their own secrets. Their 420HC performs quite well for me for an inexpensive stainless. Of course, it can't touch Busse's 154CM.

Hey Falcon, it that a Philippine blade about the Busse? Looks like it may be a Water Buff horn handle. Seen plenty of those in my 3 years in the P.I.

These knives should begin shipping in 5-8 weeks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Ahh, that is the info I was looking for.

Yes SkunkHunter, it is a Water Buff horn handle bolo from the Jest course in olongopo philipines. It is one of my favorite knives second to my NMFBM, I only wish I could get this design in INFI or SR-77. Spent a few months in PI from Iwakuni Japan on Det. I wish I could have been as fortunate as you were to stay 3 years, that place rocked in 1984. I got to go to the Jest course and do there survival course where I got my Bolo. Did you ever bring any Bolo's back when you were there?

You guys better get ready for the Zombie problem that is mounting at the moment. I already have mine!

Falcon, I brought back a "Negrito hunting bolo", basically a 9 1/2 inch blade bowie knife that I LOVE. Oh and I also brought back a Japanese style sword, about a 27-28 inch blade. That is what I had in my hand when I chased the guy that tried to break into our house with when the PC stopped me. I WAS trying though, I was about 2 blocks from home, sneaks, pj bottoms and no shirt! And this was in about 1976 or early '77! Somewhere between 0200-and 0500! Luckly someone knew me and vouched that I was a "good guy". All they told me was to NOT do that again! I didn't. You DO NOT want to be looking down the barrels of 4 M-16s if you can help it.

Renee or Dan:

How possible is it for you to make a long cordura sheath similar to the one for the Dogfather? I have really enjoyed the Regulator sheaths, the Dogfather sheaths (also used for Busse BWMs), and the S6 sheaths (also used for a few S5s).

Please consider it.

If you make a cordura sheath available, I will definitely by more knives of that model.

Thanks.

SkunkHunter, very cool with the hunting bolo, one thing about the negritos is they do make some very effective choppers, only if they had better steel with better edge retention but other than that it works and has been working for many decades and is a combat and survival proven weapon.

Awesome! As soon as I first saw the Scrapizashi I knew I had to have one. Love the simple yet bad-[censored] design. This will be my second Scrap Yard knife. I bought a Scrapper 6 about a year ago and was hooked. Can't wait 'til I can get my hands on the thing. I pity the [censored] fool zombie coconuts that I will chop on that glorious day!

Awesome! Got back from vacation and ordered mine today. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
