Many good questions here. I'll try to answer as many as I can.
Here are a few answers to your questions. Busse Knife Co. has used many steels in the past including D-2, A-2, 0-1, 440C, ATS-34, BG-42, 5160, etc. Pretty much every tool and cutlery grade steel out there. Jerry has always been a bit of a pack rat when it comes to steel and he has stockpiled quite a bit of it over the past 25 years. The SR-77 is just part of that stockpile.
Yes, you will be seeing SYKCO blades made from many different grades of steels from the Busse and Swamp Rat shops. We will be using most of the left over "drops" and other unused grades that are available from this stockpile.
Where are the knives made? Some of the work is done in Ohio and some of the work is done here in Texas.
Will we have regular stock? I doubt it. Releases of new models will be sporadic. Military orders will be given top priority as they are the primary focus of our line.
Team SYKCO Now I'm thoroughly confused. I thought the Scrapyard's would be identical to the new line of Swamp Rats except with SR77 steel and Res-C handles instead of SR101 steel and micarta handles. Many if not most will be identical in blade shape but the materials used will vary. Team SYKCO All Dogs read this quote carefully
