All kin but the yard is my home.

First post here
I own scrapyard and swamprat
I have a scrapper 5, rmdxle and a rodent 9.
Would love a busse piece but can't bring myself to spend that much when the yard has tanks for much less.

I have had all three of them at one time or another but only have yard steel and one RMD. I do love the yard for all the great camaraderie and what I call friends I've made here, I had a skinny ash but it just didn't fit my hand very well so I sold it, I wouldn't let that stop me from getting another busse if I liked it.

Welcome to the Yard, Ken! Thanks for joining us!

I AM The minority here.

Scrap Yard Knife Company is ALL I ever needed or will need in a knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Their Price to Performance Credo Dan expressed in 2006 is alive and well today.

Quoted from their Mission Statement,
:By running our blades in concert with the Swamp Rat line and adhering to the principle of “performance first” we will keep our manufacturing costs down and our quality unmatched at an affordable price."


Hands down Dan and his company have never turned his back on that.

Scrappers ARE Busse knives! We just don't need to pay the premium price of INFI to enjoy all the benefits of the toughest blade made. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Guarantee? Well you know the story. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

When I spend 300- X,XXX on a knife it better be one of a kind and made by a premium Maker. but that is me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

And why I am n the minority I assume. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Scrap Yard Knives are all the HD cutters I will EVER use or need. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

If it's Bussekin, it's all good!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

All Bussekin. Mostly scrap yard tho since it's cheaper and they perform just as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Amen birthday boy!!!
I have been leaning more towards Busse as of late but I LOVE all the Kin!!!

I voted ALL...but I'm slowly in process of reverting to all SYKCO.

For those that have stated they hope to have BUSSE steel someday...I think it is safe to say that the YARD will keep producing short runs of INFI knives over the years. So far there have been three, correct? The SS4, S5LE, and most recently the WarDog.

Yep, the YARD is where it's at! I love INFI and Res-C, yet I passed on the B-6 and the B-10. The B-08 is calling my name, but I am confident the 711 will put that to rest. The real question is...could I ever sell the B-11? Well, I'm hopeful the 711 will take on most roles (I don't find myself chopping down many trees). However, if Dan would come out with a > 8" knife in INFI...I would be convinced <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> DOH! I just forgot about the B-04.../sigh...the circle of life continues.

Every Rat I've bought, I've sold. I only have one left, the HCSE, and it's about to go on the block.

I also voted all, but out of all my Bussekin blades, I ONLY have one Busse (HACK Wardog) and ONE Rat, the Swamp Warden. All my others are Dan's creations. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Scrap & Swamp for me!

I have had them all before. But SR and SY for now. Had to sell off the Busse Combats when I got laid off.
