My Scrapper 6 is here! Cause for celebration in my house... It took 9 days from getting the 'it's being posted' email to getting the parcel. We already know that due to teutonic efficiency Austrians get knives in 7 days, mine was 9 days (at least the Royal Mail didnt lose it!), so how about the rest of us 'furiners'? Anyone beat 7 days for an overseas delivery?

Quick observation about the Scrapper, the cheap optional sheath was good quality and well up to the job, the knife apart from being 'blunt as a banana' (sorry, but wow that is blunt! At least the grind is symetrical and even, so is an easy fix) looks great for the money. Once Dan's got the bowies made one will be mine...

I'd still say any serious knife user needs to get a Scrapper!

Fantastic!!!!!Will there be some howling tonight?

Hell yeah!!! Awwwooooo! (Thanks Patti and Dan for the fine blade!)

Kewl bro glad ya got it!!!

Now go and cut something! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's great news Paul ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Now you can see for yourself why we have been all excited. Now it's going to be even tougher waiting for the Bowies! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

still waiting...

It will be worth the wait! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Don't despair...use just keep using those other knives till this one gets to you!

GF - Remember that you said that once you place your order for the Bowies ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The wait doesn't bother me guys, its my mate. He keeps calling me asking where his knife is.. I have lots of good blades to keep me going but he is very much in need of one. I think he has got the sickness without even knowing it..

The sickness eh? You are like the little monkey from Outbreak....infecting everyone around you with knife fever!

Well, I suppose there are WORSE things he could be infecting them with ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Arrrghh.... from now on it's rubber gloves on before I go near the keyboard!!! Perksy sorry to hear your knife is walkin' to Oz... your mate will be well chuffed when it finally gets there though!

Roll on the bowies and INFI shorties!

Yeah, hopefully will get it monday. Hahaha, I think I may have started the sickness, but my mates have helped to. This will make five of my buddies that have Busse fammily blades..

Lets see between them they have a Hell Razor, Ratweiler, Camptramp, howling rat, M6 and soon to be a Scrapper 6.

Its all good!!

Some fine steel there with your mates! One day the S6 will make it... It was hell waiting for mine and that went pretty well.

Now we all have to gnaw on something while waiting for the Bowies !

Oh yes, it's good to have a new toy while waiting for the bowie! My S6 gnawed up an old plank very well today, just as good as expected!

I hope my poem on the previous topic will provide inspiration for Dan and Patti !

We can but hope we all get our xmas present off Dan and Patti!

Persky, any word on your order yet? You do get to break it in first....don't you?

If his mate has deployed then perksy will need to work it in for him... (and send lots of sand paper and a white crock stick with the knife!)

Nice thought Paul !

I got to used to thinking ahead when sending packages to mates 'overseas'... Normally a bottle of Jack Daniels was standard 'packing material'!

Oh, that would have been a nice care package! You are one thoughtful individual!

Yep good socks, a sharp knife and Jack D- most of a proper care package sorted! Just add a magazine or two perhaps...

I always had a good mag or 2 stuffed in my armor!

Well you wouldn't want your mates knicking them or getting them tatty or stained...

GF - I think you should have had a few magazines stuffed in your pants - might have helped when that IED exploded! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Nothing worse than pages getting stuck together!

Yep..

Hay fellas. The knives showed up yesterday. They are as expected, outstanding.

When I called my mate and told him his knife was here, he was thrilled. He told me he would try and sneek onut of work early and get his knife. Well turns out he couldn't wait that long and showed up 20 minutes later. I recon he may have worn the handle out from exesive fondling by now haha..

I am getting two auscam sheaths made up today, so his knife should be in action very soon. I am gonna keep mine good at the moment, but am definatly gonna have a try of his blade.

Cheers, Nick.

Woohooo! They Dogs are spreading their territory down south!!! Go ahead and give his a good beating!

God help the 'roos now the Scrapyard dogs are loose down there!

Perksy - Glad to hear they arrived and that you fellows are happy with them! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hmm could it be that soon many Aussies will be running around with large Dan bowies?

Paul - I sure hope so!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep, let's keep our fingers crossed for this 'beach-head' in Dan's attempt for world cutlery domination!

I am in complete support of it!!

Hell yeah! All that 'outback' needs a good beasting!

Well, I know they have their share of Rats and Hogs, they just need to get some Dogs there!

The local flora and fauna is doomed!...

Only some - I believe they have an appreciation for conservation of natural resources there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep, the Aussies believe in preserving 'roos! They pickle them! (old joke...)

I know a lot down under support (the late, great) Steve Irwin and his peers.

Philippines, 4 days <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again to Patti..and USPS!

Good to hear that you received your Scrapper X - I can almost see you smiling from here ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Wow that's an awesome time!

Wow. I've had packages that came from a few states away take longer than that.

I can't believe it either. The BR took about a month to ship, if I remember correctly. I just hope the bowie gets here as quickly.

You and me both!!!! BOWIE!!!! And Andy....you wouldn't be trying to hint at something would you? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

No, I meant eBay mail. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Oof hackles raised there then! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - isn't it a shame that eBay purchases can't be shipped as soon as Scrap Yard purchases ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The Yard deserves a big thumbs up for their quick shipping! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Now, if we could only get them to start selling their Bowie ...................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Yes, quickly followed by INFI EDC! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy, that sounds just fine to me !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

They need to get it out! I am having Chopper Fever...an uncontrolable urge to buy new an expensive chopping blades that will only further piss off the misses!

Carefull 'Junk Yard Dog' or you'll be in the dog house!

Jason - Can't you convince April that you NEED the blades, and that she can use them when the need arises ?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> With all those sweet and sharp blades you already have, it might not be a good idea to piss off the missus - you COULD wake up missing specific body parts ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Good luck ! Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

You in the kennel yet GF?

Paul - I think GF is in the kennel quite often, but being the silver-tongued devil that he is, he talks his way out of it ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> How else could any mere mortal man keep acquiring such nice blades, and so many ?!!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Hehe, good point or he has a really forgiving wifey! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I suspect we are right on BOTH counts!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh no, that Red headed Devil is anything but forgiving! Hell halth no furry like a wifes scorn for High Quality Blades!!!!!!! It is a system of checks and balances...I write the checks ...she balances the books! At least I spend my time hanging with a bunch of guys and not out talking to girls behind her back...I try to justify it with here be saying at least it isn't crack...though highly addictive , you can always get a return on your purchase!

See Paul, I TOLD you GF is a silver-tongued Devil!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep, fine blagging GF!

Of course, with GF referring to April as a "Red-headed Devil", he might have a little tarnish on that silver tongue!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I hope she doesn't read that posting!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
