Can anyone with a scale and a Scrapper 6 tell me what it weighs? I'm wondering how much lighter it is than my M6. Really, I think it'd be a good idea if the weight were added to the description on the Knives page. I'm guessing the regular and LE would be about the same. That coating can't weigh too much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy,
If you don't get a response by in the morning,I'll take mine over to the Grocery and weigh it.
Actually,I expect the LE is lighter,due to the full flat grind.
Alex

Good point on the full flat grind... That'll shave some grams! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

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

My M6 is appx 16.5 oz compared to my Scrapper LE at 12 oz. This is an old, analog spring scale so just consider the accuracy as one is **compared** to another.

SRKW Mischief 6.
Appx weight - 16.5 oz.
Blade Length - 6" (from upper grip edge)
OAL Blade Height - 1-5/8"
Blade Thickness - 1/4"
Blade Material - SR101

Scrapper 6
Appx weight - 12 oz.
Blade Length - 6-7/16" (from top edge of grip. From the finger choil both the M6 and SYK6 are the same blade length.)
OAL Blade Height - 1-5/8"
Blade Thickness - 9/32"
Material - SR77

Ah. I forgot they had different grinds. Thanks for the attempt PM. I have a few good scales due to my hobbies such as prospecting and collecting meteorites. I think one is accurate to 100th of a gram. Too bad I don't have both knives to weigh. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Maybe we'll get an "official" answer, or someone with a good scale.


Haha. I can see the sheeple's eyes bugging out now...they'd see you and dial 9-1-and wait...

Andy, go ahead and buy a Scrapper 6 and weigh it. If you don't want to keep it you can send it to me. I'll pay the shipping.

Both models have full height flat grinds.

We just weighed a couple of blades and the weight difference is fairly insignificant.

The weight of the Scrapper 6 is: 12.8 ounces

The weight of the Scrapper 6 LE is: 12.2 ounces

Team SYKCO

It looks like my analog Chatillon scale is pretty close. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Way to go Paddling_man - you are really on the ball ! Sounds like you are pretty pleased with your Scrapper. If you get tired of any Rats or Dogs, just send them to me - I will give them a good home. Tom

Thanks! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I figured they'd be pretty close.

Hey, Klink is in the house! How are things down there, neighbor? I was enjoying the cool weather and then...

Howdy PM ! We have been enjoying the cooler weather, but wish the RAIN would quit by-passing us. We sure could use some moisture.
Looks like you're doing well in the knife collection ! It certainly is addicting. The Scrap Yard line is really a welcome sight - much like the original Swamp Rat arrival. I just wish they would include a sheath with their SHEATH KNIVES - not an ala carte item!!! Although I prefer leather sheaths, the cordura/kydex sheaths are certainly adequate, and I like the ones that accompanied my original Rats. In light of the higher shipping charges, I feel that the sheath should be included with the knives (sound familiar ?). Take care ! Tom

It does sound familiar. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> It is addicting and I whittle it down occasionally, too. The Mr. Mojo and Rat Mastiff have both moved on to greener pastures. Seems like new things keep popping up, though, like the ST-56.

Take care, buddy!

I'm thinking about whittling down some of my collection at the next local gun & knife show. I can part with some of my Cold Steels, SOG's, Beckers, and a few others. However, I still can't part with any of my Rats. Besides, in this area most people buy their "good" knives at WalMart.

Iam glad I am not the only one.....wait maybe I am, cause now I own the baddest blade in town!

GF - which is your "baddest blade"? I would be torn between my SW BattleRat and my Fallkniven Thor. I just can't see taking out another mortgage on my house in order to buy a Busse *sorry folks!*

but... what about me? i wanna be in the "Bad Blade" club...

hmmm... having technical difficulties...

Well you have to live in a hill ape infested town where "Daddies" buck knife is reputed to be the best thing since "keeping it the family" But if I had to choose my "BADDEST" Blade.....right now it may be either my Satin BR or Blk on Blk with Penetrator tip.....but I do have a Rat DADDY on the way.....and "something else" but comments on that will wait until it arrives! Oh yeah, I have a RAT DADDY on the way!!!!! The biggest blade produced from the Holy Trinity thus far...not counting customs for all you Uber Hogs!

I always wanted to handle a Fallkniven Thor, but when my only local place for knives is wal-mart.....I weep inside. If I could ever find a good deal on one, I would be all over it!

OMG oh please stop my stomach hurts from laughing so hard -- if you make me puke up my sushi lunch i'm gonna be very upset <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> holy crap dude where do you live?? lol..
but congRats on the Daddy -- looks like you win the bad blade contest -- oh and pics, for gods sake, when it gets to you, you lucky Rat-dog you...

i don't know... i knkow i'm probably being stupid, but i've just never been much of a fan of stainless steels, even when they are in a sandwitch.... except maybe some of the sandvic and powder steels, and maybe BG-42...

SR77dogg .....wow you are the D O double G...I am just gonna call you Snoop...Have you ever seen the movie "Waterboy"...well that IS where I live....I swear the are talking about my college in the freakin movie!! Southern Louisiana is a cesspool....think about it everything the everyone north of us flushes into the "Mighty" Mississippi floats past us...I swear I saw one of Paddling Mans corn-ridden turds floating past the banks of the ole miss oneday.....and he said he digs holes......yeah right!

that does it i'm renting water boy tonight... PM, please, have some mercy on poor GF, for x-sake...

GF - I bought mine off of eBay, and I got the best deal that I have seen on there for a Thor. Don't pay attention to the retail prices listed on their web-site - they are sold by wholesalers like Moteng to dealers for about half the listed prices. Too bad you have to be a dealer! Tom

Have you used it? Or is it a looker?

I haven't really used it so far, but would be happy to have it with me on a wilderness jaunt. It is VERY sharp, would be a great chopper, AND CAME WITH AN EXCELLENT LEATHER SHEATH included in the price. I actually bought the Fallkniven Thor INSTEAD OF a Swamp Rat model, largely because of the sheath issue. Tom

SR dogg...I am ignorant of busse knives, what is that green monster in your picture?.....and how much you want for it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

GF - I wish I had your money!

Buy low, trade high! and keep only what yo need to survive! I have traded for most knives I have...I have only bought a few that I intend on keeping.

GF - I just KNEW you were a pirate - smart one at that! I may do the same thing in a couple of months.

I just need a peg leg and a parrot to $hat on my shoulder, and I will be set....oh yeah and a large Scrapyard swashbuckling blade!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />What ?!! No keg of rum, or even a brew? Must be a new breed of pirate. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

Nah! See, I already have those things....all that I need is the leg and bird.....But on a serious not....does the weight of a blade actually matter? What scenario would dictate picking the lightest blade possible. Does the few oz. really determine if I am going to pack a certain knife or does mission dictate the blade?

The main scenario I can envision is backpacking long distances. Even then, I think it is really just an individual's choice. I believe most people will carry whatever size blade they are comfortable with and won't be hassled by authorities. This harkens to the old question; "if you could carry only one knife, what would it be?". I think most folks would want a larger blade a.k.a. survival knife when they are in a wilderness setting.

Thats along my line of thought...I can't recall a time I chose a blade to carry because it was light....if the weight of a blade determines if one is going to carry it, I would recommend some more physical activities for that individual...

The reason I asked is I know that the Rec-C weighs less than Micarta, and I wanted to know by how much. Sometimes I take walks in the country where I live, and so far the longest I've gone is 6 miles. If I'm that far from home, I like to have a good sized knife just in case I need it. The most likely reason I would need it would be for defense against a dog or something. I'm probably not going to be building an emergency shelter or anything. It will probably never leave the sheath. But I wanted to know how many ounces that would save over the M6. Not much, but if it's something you probably won't even use, it's better to pick the lighter option.

Dog vs Scrapper 6 or Rat Mastiff......hmm I think I would pack the Mastiff for a 6 mile hump. If your talking to difference between 30lbs and 45lbs ok, you might want to lighten the load, but not the knife. If it to be carried on a sheath around your waist, you will never notice it. If you are carrying it for 6 miles in your hands........get a sheath!....and belt! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - again, the choice is yours. I don't think a couple of ounces makes that big a difference for your use. However, to me the key word is "probably". You "probably" won't be building an emergency shelter, etc. In terms of being prepared for unforseen events, you should allow for possible situations. Many folks have found themselves in precarious situations close to home or camp.
ANY knife is better than NO knife; I personally opt for a larger blade such as my BattleRat or Fallkniven Thor when I am out in my "south forty", and I only own 165 acres. To each his own I guess. Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

165 acres!!! Tom, I would probably use a 4 wheeler or horse...that being the case I just may pack 3 knives...and a rifle....."just in case"

Hey, Tom. Do you ever see any wild hogs down in that part of MO? I had buddies who hunted Russian Boar near my old home along the NC/TN border. The hogs were PLENTIFUL (and invasive, and destructive, and nasty-mean.)

I was looking at the range of feral hogs on the MO Conservation site since I had thought about hunting and it sonds like they are more sporadic here. In fact, they stated that the scarcity made hunting solely for hogs frustrating but to plan on shooting them on site when hunting other game.

What's your experience?

-Stacey

sorry took me a while to get back here... that be a HOGFSH. i saw a pic of that thick green beast and had to have her -- i'm in the process of trying to rub all the green off the old fashioned way, but i hardly ever make it up to the hills, so it may take a while...

Stacey - I have not found any trace of wild hogs on my property, but they have been a problem a few miles from here. Maybe only a matter of time - new hunting opportunities! The armadillos now provide occasional target practice for my Ruger P89, along with possums and raccoons. I have even nailed a couple of skunks - I was upwind of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

GF - anytime I take my dogs for a walk I carry the aformentioned Ruger 9mm. I even take it with me when I go fishing on my pond ~3 acres, for the occasional snake. If I find signs or hear of any hogs or other types of mean, nasty, and destructive creatures in my area, I will switch to carrying my 44magnum and/or a short-barreled 12 gauge shotgun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Tom

sr77Dogg - that HOGFSH is one impressive blade !!! Wouldn't it be great if the Yard came out with their version, but more priced for the masses !?

hmm... seems like a .44 and a 12ga. shottie would take care of pretty much anything smaller than a polar bear...

fer shure!! oh, what i wouldn't do for a 5/16" (or thicker!) chunk of SR-77... i can't think of anything i'd rather have, right off hand. It might not be as stain resistant as infi or hold an edge as long, but for sheer toughness, what could be better than S7??? we should start a petition... btw, does the Yard do custom-shop stuff?

I asked about the custom shop in another thread......no answer yet....we could call it the Kennel or Vets office. And Tom....can I com camp on your property...you would never even know I am there! 165 Acres! I just want 40 acres and a mule <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

dogg- I don't fool around! Besides - I was a Boy Scout - you know - "Be Prepared". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

GF - I'm afraid that the chiggers would eat you alive - and the coyotes would keep you up all night with their howling! However, if you found yourself in this area I bet I could find a couple of square feet of space! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Tom, we always said better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it!.....I just might look you up on of these days on my road trips! Thanks!

My sentiments exactly! As far as your road trip, I'm only a posting and phone call away! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Right on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Andy - I bet you could find some of the old "Rat-fink" cartoons that would look like GF on a road trip! Tom

O- I have some of me on road trips that may be enough...just gotta find them..my wife organizes the pictures on the computer sso I never can find anything!!

Well, I guess that's fair. Didn't you say that she can't read your posts ? For your sake, I hope not! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's a system of Checks and Balances!

Now THAT is strategic planning! Well done! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

i can relate as well -- i just try to keep my posts as unintelligable as possible to reduce the risk of something meaningful falling into the wrong hands...

Sometimes it's funny to see what warped meanings people get from post!

Funny -- i have the same combo: S&W 629 Classic and a Benelli Nova. You?

dogg - Ruger Redhawk and Mossberg 500. Our combos will handle anything that walks on this continent at close range! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Does it have to be close, because you can't shoot or are you just refering to the general use of a shotgun? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />I would expect better than that from a brother "gunner"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> However, I WAS referring to the general use of a shotgun and pistol. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Just yankin your chain....leash...whatever they have us on here!

Well, I guess it's better than having you yank my crank!

Samething about nipping in the bud......no one can prove a thing!

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

Barney Fife probably could! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

yep -- i think that combo pretty much has CQC covered...

Would that really be CQC is just a good old fashion whoopin'

Works for me !

Either way the end result will be the same.....

That's right !

Now, if we could just get the Yard to release the BOWIE next........

Something new to terrorize criminals with!

I guess you could say that it would help cut them down to size!

My pooch is sleeping in my lap...and just passed gas...I want to vomit...that smell will keep criminals at bay!!

I bet it's not as bad as what my Rottweiler/Lab cross used to grace us with - it would send a visiting neighbor outside! Still, I wish he hadn't died last month - he was the best dog we ever had.

It is always tough...my anatolian ..Jake lived to be the ripe old age of 15....ppretty long for a dog his size!

That WAS a long time for a big dog ! Would you get another Anatolian again if you could ? They seem like such awesome dogs.

They truely are...if I had more than an apartment...I would certainly get another one..I would recommend one to you with as much property as you have!!

I would really love to have an Anatolian, but alas, like Jerry's Infi, it is out of my reach. Why wasn't I born rich instead of good looking ?!?
