I came up on what I thought was a really good deal on a Dogfather and a Scrapper 6, so I bought them. I had heard about Scrap Yard and Busse and Swamp Rat through various gun forums, but figured I would probably never drop too much money on a knife and that my Kabar USMC should suffice anyway... (i now see why this calls for some LOLs) WOW- I went to pick the knives up and as soon as I held one of them I could see and feel the difference in an actual quality knife! My original intent was to buy both of them and sell one of them to make my money back, but I dont want to let either of them go! I also dont want to go chopping though stuff and damaging them though! I'll probably be happy if I do though... These things feel like pure work horses and they look great, but not like a Mercedes looks great, they look great like an up-armored HMMWV looks great. Full of function and bad---ery, pure function, raw engineering, made to work. If you couldnt tell, I'm pretty happy to have these knives. Im thinking ill put the dogfather in my bug out gear, and buy a nice sheath for my scrapper to carry everyday.

Yes, they are plain Jane utilitarian serious working knives. Not the flash of a Buck with a Cocabola handle, but toughness that cannot be beat. You did well. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I don't know if you are going for practical tactical or pretty, but that sheath works fine. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Well, beat those knives up the best you can. And welcome to the Yard! Having only one pancake, leaves more room for bacon! JYD#174 "Rasmutt"
