if ScrapYard ever does limited/special runs,they could stamp matching ser. numbers on the knives and tags,along with the original owner's name...

I would love to know how many hands a few Busses have seen. Give serial numbers with the knife, then do an online tracking service, register when you get it and whoever gets it after you. It would be interesting!

I know a few have been around the world!

Serial numbers would be a great idea for LE's, folks could post threads saying who has/had what. Nice idea guys!

Serial numbers would also be useful if your knife were ever stolen too. I know there have been a few people that have had Busses/Rats stolen.

Good point Andy!

And since most of us stay in contact on the forums, it would probably be harder to sell a stolen knife. If your knife were stolen, you could just report it here along with the number, and then everyone could be on the lookout if someone tries to sell that knife with that serial number.

Andy, if serial numbers should come to be a reality, we will appoint you to investigate cases of knives for sale. With your intel gathering ability you would be the perfect choice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

If we and 'Blade forums' were on the lookout for nicked 'serialed' knives that would kill the market pretty much! Good thinking Andy!

When it comes to having a great idea, Andy's full of it ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Sorry Andy, I just couldn't pass up such a great opportunity. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I knew I smelled something!

Cough... splutter, ugghh...
