Alright Gnarly!

Hey Dan, I need more 154 Mudder goodness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's still a sweet photo Jeff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Is that the complete collection of Mudders?

Not to split hairs, but that depends on what you mean by "complete".

In addition to the Scrap Muk LE, there was also a black-handled, non-numbered Special Edition. Same thing for the S5 (LEs and SEs), plus there were multiple handle colors (3) and blade colors (I'm wanting to say 5 [Black, Muddy, Sage, Tanker, and Moss], but I may be short) for S5 CGs, so a complete collection of all S5 color combos would be a lot. Additionally, there was a give-away last year that included an orange-handled and a purple-handled S5 SE (I don't know who got them, but they looked 'sharp' [pun intended]). If you want to get really technical about mudder handles, you could go back to the Swamp Rat "Bog Dog".

However, if by "complete" you mean one example of each Scrap Yard mudder model, then I think that's all of them: the SS4, Mud Puppy, Scrap Muk, Bird Dog, Scrapper 5, and Wiener Dog. Jeff always tries to get at least one of each to make sheaths.

OMG!

Never saw that many in one place before.

Good info Jim, I think you pretty much nailed it, I have every model, but not every version of every model. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


BTW, wasn't there a Black handled BDLE that showed up at a couple of shows too... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I have 3 mudders, WeinerDog, BDLE, and S5CG. I love each and every one of them! The Weinerdog gets a lot of carry time, especially in fishing season.

I don't clearly recall black-handled Bird Dogs, but when I try to envision them in a "Wall of knives" picture, it feels somewhat familiar. Maybe someone else remembers them?

By the way, I'd go got a scrapper 4 (or two, or five ...) in 154CM; especially if they had those (easy to find if dropped) high visibility orange handles.


(Picture from the 1/2010 SantaGanzaaaaa; they gave away over $12K in shop credit and steel.)

Jim, My BDLE is a black handled one. It is not numbered, so may be SE instead of LE. Think they were a Ganza or a show sell only.

Found a pic:

Jeff was right; thanks Todd. Yep, those would be an SE release.
