Just got the email!

Word...ordered one of each!! Great emails!

What great timing - I went for 2 of each.

Love the look and spec's of the 411 - and it has the mudder handles like the scrapper 5 its gonna be awesome.

Just ordered a 4-11. Yes it has the mudders!

I'm looking forward to both. That 411 looks awesome for camping....3/16 is gonna be a beast.

Can't wait to strip the Booty and wrap it with a cord. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Order in! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

On the 411 that is. I've already got some HDD Daggers on the way from my Blade preorder. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The 411 looks like another winner Dan!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Wow, the 411 looks awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Too bad the timing sucks for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Hopefully they'll be up for awhile. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Wow the 411 looks great love the mutter handle. Hope the 611 will have a mutter too.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is way to many knives out right now people are going broke.

So far I have a tan 711 and 311. Also a 1113 on order. I realy won't a mill
Run 511 but if the 411 Shows up somewhere in tan I'm all overit.

does anyone have the weight specs on the 411? i would greatly appreciate it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

I cannot stop looking at that 411. I think my Bandicoot is about to be retired.

OH MAN THAT 411!!!! Just what I was hoping for! Diet scrapper 5!

I am in for both as well. Hopefully they are not available immediately. I need to work up some funds first.

As much as I wanted a 411, the unexpected ganza and 1311 purchases put this one on the back burner.

Hopefully this will stay in the store for a good long time. It looks great!

I would imagine that it will be there for a while.

It's pretty amazing to see 9 different knives being offered by SYKCO at the same time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Definitely a new record! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Order in! Had to get one of each. That 411 is the shiz!

I'm in too!! Looks great.

WOWOW, now how many booties and 411's do I need.

I'm thinking at least 3 booties and 2 411's... I need a second job....

When it rains it pours. This has been a great year!

Man oh man. I am glad my mud puppy showed up just before that email. I really dont see the 1" bigger blade on this as an improvement for my uses over the puppy. Might pick up another dagger. Seeing as how the grey one I got is not going to be offered in production, atleast yet. If I had not got the puppy I would be all over the 411.

I'm psyched too bro since I got my S5LE I've been on the hunt for new mudders now I can get one a great price and not have to lose an arm and a leg on the exchange!!!

AMEN life in the Yard is good life on the porch is GREAT! Thank you Dan and all of Scrapyard!

This is nearly my ideal knife. I had diagramed one out over at the swamp and the specs are nearly exactly what I wanted.

the 411 is going to pair up with the 1311 quite well in the woods..... couldn't be happier, Jerry is falling way behind his brother now.

What the heck is going on around here?

The yard is BRINGING IT!!!


If it wasn't for credit cards, I'd be selling body parts to pay for all these knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />



Good times...

I'm with you, man. I really hope the 411 gets delivered before deer season. It will make a fantastic hunting blade. Love the mudders too.

Rock on Dan Busse!

. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Mudders on the 4-11! Great News in that email.

Now just need those elmax blades up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Only thing to make that 4-11 better would be elmax.

I wonder how many people are kicking themselves for paying 65-75 for booties over the past week.

Must be painful for them.

NICE!!!!! I'm gonna order a 411! It's just about perfect! THANKS FOR BRINGING BACK THE MUDDERS!!!!!!!

It hurts a little but hey 25 bucks over retail with no shipping aint bad. Plus imagine what the color ones are going to be worth down the road. I think the ones that sold the grey and tan at those prices will be more off put in a year or 2. That is if a few dollars really matter to ya.

So what's next DT? You got your MOAD and your mudders.

How about a squirrel skinner? With mudders of course.

Ditto's on the thanks for using the mudders on the 411. I would have been VERY disappointed if it had something else. Now to decide how many. I know the odds might be as high as holding a winning Mega Bucks ticket but how cool would it be to have orange mudders on the 411.

That would make me purchase it! Probably even two or four so I could gift them to my brothers for camping and hunting.

wow, go out for a little bit and find out from BF like a 2nd class citizen! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've been waiting for the 411..going to be a great user for sure!

Ok ordering some 411 and booties but what exactly is a Dog Appreciation Charge?

In with a 411 order also. As usual Dan has another winner!

Regarding the Dog Appreciation Charge, if you had gotten a Yard Keeper, you could get a T-shirt or hat for $5. Since you can't get a Yard Keeper, it doesn't apply any more. Not sure why it is still there, actually.

My first mudders!

Sweet!

MM

That's what I assumed, almost added that thinking I was gonna get a shirt for $5, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm in for one of each too!

Dan, you are the man. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

GOT MUDDERS?

Yep!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />




For anyone who thinks the S5 is slightly too big for fine work or the SS4 slightly too small for hard use, then the 411 ought to be JUST RIGHT.

Mudders, on SR101, at the perfect size for EDC, and at $80??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Holy crap! If you don't GRAB one of these now you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Two 411's and three Booties ordered!

I need a 411, haha

That 411 is just great!
But I have exceeded my limit for knives for a while, so I have to pass. The R4 is going to have to do in that size range, for a while... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

For now I have the 1311 and an SFNO to look forward to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

411, this knife can not miss .

The El Muk!

No 611 with a regulator handle?

Dan's the man! I've got some other stuff tying up my account right now, but...dang!

Between the awesome knives and the sense of community here, I can see why you guys love scrapyard so much.

Well stick around brother, the more the merrier<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I ordered a 411. Wish I could afford the 1311 too, but I can't do it right now, hopefully it will stay up for a while.

BAM! 4-11 order in!

Meh. Doesn't excite me too much. I've got enough 5" and 7" blades that a 6" isn't too meaningful at the moment.

An el Muk? No THAT I could use <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That and a nice fillet/boning knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

And/or a new line up of kitchen knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm in for a 411...I can't wait for it...going to be a handy all around blade for sure!

Was the Scrapper 5 sub 3/16" anyone remember?

Order placed for two 411s.... What have I done???

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> You've done the right thing in my book, now hoping for the TGLBS!

My S5 comes in at .185" with the coating.

A domestic squirrel. Who would have guessed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thought you said you spent too much on knives already this year.

I have! I NEED HELP! Maybe because I will be working as a hunting guide I can call it a job expense. When I first started looking at busse kin knives in June 2011 I wanted a 911 and a 411. Some how i got a R9, mo511, tan 311 two 411 911 two b10 LE a KDH two 1311 and a blade show and 460 scrapmax

I feel your pain <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

nice collection

Thanks

You're sick and need help. I offer my service as a stash master and will safeguard all of your blades for you. Remove the temptation from your sight and help you on your way to recovery.

No need to thank me, or pay me for my kindness, I'm just that kind of guy.

Everyone is so nice around here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Well, two 411s for me. Was trying to wait a while so that maybe I would get in later and have a chance to recover from all the other great stuff offered lately. But couldn't hold off any longer. Too bad we didn't have color options like what was offered with the Scrapper 5. I think that was the last time we had color options at the initial offering (my gateway Bussekin). Good chance we may see variations at Blade 13, so another good reason to attend. But then that means I will need to buy more. ARRGH, this addiction, what do I do. Just when I think that I am reaching a saturation point, I see something else I think I must need.

I know what you mean Hooker. Always another one to get. I know I should not go to blade, but how can you not want to go?

I wanted to save on s+h and add it to my 1311 order. But I couldnt wait for an answer back so I ordered 2 411s.

Thats exactly what i ordered... I need third job, I'm already lowering my sheath prices so my distributor can buy more. The things we do for our addiction. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm still confused how the shipping works, but i guess the more you order the better it is... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I have to get a couple of the 411's now...

Who has handled the prototypes? What other knives is the 411 similar to? I want to get an idea of the size and profile of the blade and balance.

Yea, I would like a quick review too. I like the length of the 311, but the mudders look (and I'm sure feel) sweeeeet! I think the 411 would be small enough because the 511 felt pretty small in my hand. (Not that I have big hands.) But it did, so I think the 411 would be small enough for a high hip carry? Thoughts?

I think you are probably right about the hip carry. Seeing as how the blade is three quarters of a inch shorter (and 1 inch shorter overall) than the S5, it should carry just a tad better. If you're wondering any more about it, I have the specs up for the S5 and 411 (all the info I've got anyway) in the Scrapyard knife specs thread. Hope it is of some help to you.

Just pulled the trigger on a 411 and a trio of HDDDs!!! I cannot afford this knife purchase. And I just said this a week ago when I ordered a 1311. This is me admitting I have a problem. I'm rationalizing it by telling myself I'm going to sell something.

I've been waiting for that 411 for a while...looks like a real winner. A full flat-ground Infi LE version would probably be just about the perfect 4 inch hard use combat/utility knife...

As for those Doggy Daggers, I've been looking for a new set of throwing knives for a while...these are shorter than most throwing knives but the 3/16" thickness should make them heavy enough to throw well.

And then I remember I've got a 1311 coming too! Dog Bless...I think this is probably the best time ever to be a Srap Yard Dog <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

411's mudder handle looks good on that size blade.

it just looks so sharp............

If it's anyhing like the rest of the 11's it will be.

I just ordered the 411, love that it has the mudders. I thought about the boot dagger but in OK it is a no, no to carry a double edged blade. I held out on that one just in case I decide on a 311. Looking forward to this blade, the S5 did not do it for me but I think this one will have the balance I wanted. Thank you SYC.

I just impulse purchased the hot diggity dog dagger, and at that price I can't say that I regret it in the slightest.

The 411 is a good looking knife too but its just too similar to the scrapper 5 to justify purchase.

I ordered a couple of 411's to use as bushcraft blades.

Glad you made it back on Arch!

Hey Gary...Welcome Back Brother!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Wow was this a great weekend. I was gone the entire time, i come back and what do i have waiting for me??

A box from Ohio with a 911 in it (wow is that thing beautiful) AND a chance to spend more money and buy a 411!

The only downside is i'm having a 911 and 311 combo sheath made for me by Rainwalker and now i've got to get a 411 to go with it as i'll probably end up using the 411 and 911 more often than the 311.

I love the mudder grips. I'm going to have to order a 4-11 but right now I'm holding off because I got a KD hawk coming do and I went a head and ordered 2 1311's. but I guess it is only like 80 bucks. I should probably just put it on order just in case lol

Randy and Tom - thanks. I wish I had more time to spend at the Yard. We no longer have internet at home so I'm stuck using a 3G iPhone with bad reception. This dinky phone makes surfing VERY frustrating. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I'm pretty excited about the 411. I need a small utilitarian bushcraft / EDC knife. I would have actually preferred a slightly shorter blade (4.25"?), but otherwise this one should be a winner!

long time no see. its good to see you around

Thanks, GD.

how are you doing man? everyone healthy wealthy and wise.

I'm doing great - thanks for asking.

Hey guys, can anybody tell me what is a hollow ground corrugated bevel? Is it like what you see on a stripped 511?

3D, it could be that or the "Sculpted blade" on the HG55

DDDave, Tom (Private Klink) verified that the "hollow ground corrugated bevel" is on the Busse Combat HG55 knife.

Hmmm interesting...I think one of these will need to be stripped. I'm curious about this Sandvik 12c27 as well...I just googled it and found this article...

http://www.tactical-life.com/online/tactical-knives/super-clean-sandvik-12c27/

...sounds like its a high performance stainless with good edge holding and corrosion resistance. With Bussekin heat treat should be sweet! I wonder if we will see any other knives in this steel, like a 411 LE? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've read that this version of Sandvik is tougher than most of the comparable stainless but not great with edge retention UNLESS it gets a proper heat treat. It probably did.

411 ordered.

It cannot be just me....anyone else always seem to have a Bussekin on order? More days than not for the last several months, I've had something on order / preorder.

Currently...

Rattle Hawk --arrives tomorrow.

1311-- ASAP

411--when it's ready

Oh and a Ganza KDSH

I think that's it...but not likely the end.

Lol I feel you man. I got 2 1311's on order, a blade show KDSH, and I really want two of the 411's just haven't pulled the trigger yet lol

Yeah i got two 1311s two 411 and a ganza KDH on order

Just heard that the ganze hawks will be shipping within 14 business days.

Heck yeah. I have to call the busse shop and give them a neq card and address

You don't want to miss this one.

Well [censored] I pre-ordered my kill devil hawk at blade so I guess I need to call and ask if the ganza hawks are already shipping. when they shipped my boot knives they said my hawk wasn't ready yet so I'm sure they still have it in the system, I hope lol

has anyone done or seen a cord wrap on the boot dagger?

if so, i'm curious to see!

Just ordered a 411, and I think I'm gonna strip it! anyone else? Do we know yet if it will have milling lines?

I think milling lines of some sort are a safe bet. Seems the way it's all heading.

No problem with me, I like how they look, but I have been wondering what would cause the least friction in a cut; the coating, stripped and polshed, or just stripped. Im wondering if the milling lines would reduce the contact area or act as teeth.

Hey all. New here and just ordered my first scrapyard knife the 411. I have been eyeing a syk for quite some time and can't wait to get it.

Welcome to the addiction greaser.

Welcome Greaser, you are going to love those muddy grips <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks guys, I have been a "knife guy" for a long time but have recently made the jump to top of the line semi customs which is what I consider the scrap yards and from what I have read and heard I will not be disappointed.

It wont disappoint. What it will do is make you scrap all your extra possessions to buy as much as you can. Good luck keeping the spending down <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> and remember the first rule of the Bussekin way...No Regrets <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My 1311 just arrived, and it is impressive! Sat down and ordered a 411, just had to have 1. My mailbox is useless, unless I'm waiting for a blade to come!

Schmeid1, congrats--where are the pics of you swinging away with it???

Hopefully I'll get up to our camp this coming weekend, and warm it up. That knife has been grabbed more than the door handle to the liquor store...everyone that came by this weekend picked it up and announced," "SYKCO" this thing is sick, where can I get 1" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I can't wait for the 411 to get here. I've heard great things about the mudder handles, but have never seen one in person. I'm looking forward to experiencing it for myself!

I ordered one myself and am also stoked for it, I think it should be a great companion knife/tool.

anyone have suspicions as to when these might begin to ship?

I heard someone got dinged for it.

I'm guessing soon, my card was charged on Friday, knife can't be toooo far behind!

Yep it was invi that I saw was dinged.

Really need to order my Bootie.

Get it done psyop I'll make some kydex for you when I get mine.
