Specs & Weights of Swamp Rat, Busse & Scrap Yard Knives

The following list is for reference purposes.

*** Please keep in mind some specs can and do sometimes vary a bit from knife to knife. Sometimes the same knife is released at different times with slightly different grinds, thickness or handle materials. I have tried to specify significant variations in grinds such as "Full Flat" vs. Saber grind - when and where relevant. But, even with essentially same grinds and "visible" appearance, weights can vary.

Typically, Busse and kin lengths per knife are VERY close and consistent. Most knife weights with same grinds and handle options are pretty consistent, but weights are more prone to variance than dimensions.

G10 is known to weigh more than micarta. Hand shaped scales, magnum scales and similar scale variations from Busse can cause weight variences, along with "Variant" grinds, etc.

Blade lengths are measured from end of handle material to blade tip.

Res-C handles typically have less handle material forward of the grip than micarta/G10 scales. So, handle shapes and sizes forward of the grip area affect measurements of "Reach" of the blade from the grip.

Nice post Randy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Tom, but all I did was copy and paste. DWRW from BF did all the real work. And I named it Knife specs because even I might be able to remember THAT thread name!

Well, you ARE getting old! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

What do you mean am! I'm so old I remember when dirt was still mud! Now THAT'S old!

I rest my case! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for posting!!! This is a great reference tool and it is all in one place! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Very helpful list

In all fairness, this was here(maybe still is) somewhere but I couldn't find it. StJones linked me to the BF post and I just copied and pasted it here with a name that even I can remember!

The important thing is that the list is here now! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A couple things I find interesting is the the 2007 run of the Swamp warden is thicker than the 2010 run. Also noted that the DFCG and the SODCG are both thicker than 1/4 inch. I thought they were 1/4 inch. Reckon I was wrong.
