The Scrapper Six was designed as a combat/utiliy knife. It is also useful as a camping or hunting knife.

You will come to love its fast handling and perfect balance in the hand.

Unless you do a lot of batoning the blade to split wood, the coating should hold up well. If it wears, get some flat black epoxy paint and recoat it.


Sharpen as you would any other knife. SR77 is easy to sharpen. Any good quality stone will work fine.

Enjoy it, knowing that it is one of the very toughest knives ever made.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

My guess is that you can trust the buyer from out of country. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Ship that steel and charge him a million for shipping.

Got it sold in country

So...

I paid $80 for each!

Sorry Andy! I hope you understand, I've never shipped out of country and would hate getting into something with customs laws that I'm not familiar with!

No problem at all mate, Mrs Andy is even happier about it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> . For futire reference there are no restrictions on exporting a fixed blade knife from the US to Australia (from the US end) and the only issues here are if the knife has a double edge or knuckle duster (or similar) grip. You can see all my pic threads for what has landed here from the US in the past 12 or so months... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Truly though it is no problem and I am glad you found a local buyer.

Andy

On a gun forum that I use, I don't know why he had them for so cheap, but I jumped on it when I saw them.

So after buying both and selling one, I profited $60 and have an S6.

Holy Shizzle!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've seen CGDFs going for upwards of $300!!!!!!! $80?????/? Next time you find one, PM me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> You WILL regret selling the DF. Buy a 9-11 ASAP to salve your conscience.

My DF is one of my most..."loved"...blades. Slowly working on stripping it the old fashioned way--lots of batoning and chopping <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

And what's that gun forum? Clearly, they don't know knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
