Well...
My LE was getting kind of lonely, and feeling outnumbered, so, I bought it a new black-coated friend!
I figure you just cannot have too much of a good thing. After all, I have 2 hands, so, it follows that I will need 2 scrappers.

Good theory, I have a very similar theory on Dan INFI when it comes online! Enjoy your new black little friend.

Sorry, I just couldn't help but to laugh. I am waiting on the Bowie before I buy multiples! You can never have too many!

Yep big choppers are quite cool if you don't mind humping the weight up mountains! Middle sized choppers are handier like that...

Ha! No mountains in Louisiana, hell we don't even have hills!

We have mountains and oceans and trees and ducks and birdies and a llama!


I just want to have ONE of the most popular models..If I can do that I will be happy!

And terrible weather lately. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />

Hey Leatherface. Do you think you could do up a kydex for me? I know you've made them for the Scrapper before and I don't think I want to strap this cardboard sheath to me when I deploy.

Yea no kidding Cynic!! The weather here in Liberty sucks!!!

This is why I always make 2 sheaths for one knife...One kydex and one leather...Grrr cold rain!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Kydex?? No worries..pm me bro for details and the proper arm an a Leg pricing! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The whole state seems like it's about to wash away. I'm hoping I won't have any issues getting on a plane tomorrow.

PM Sent about sheath. I have a pair each of my appendages so I can spare them to keep my knife warm. I think your work is a bit more reasonable than some other sheath makers I've seen though.

yea my backyard is seriously flooded right now...The county next to mine has had a flood warning all day long...

UGH!!!

Anywho...resonable?? WOOHOO that means I get to raise my prices!!! TWO ARMS AND A LEG!!!

Right after you sell me mine, you can charge as much as you want. You should probably even give me a discount for pointing out your pricing mistakes.

gravelface-
Im counting it as a different knife, as I will have one LE and one standard.
Thus, I justify the duplicate purchase...
In all seriousess, I really do like the knife a lot. It is an excellent size. Not too big to carry, not too small to do just about everything you can reasonably ask of it. if I did not get another, I could see myself regretting it down the road, as I already do with the Swamp's battlerat.

Roo - I agree with your theory. I already have the CG Scrapper, and I'm hoping my wife gets me an LE version for my birthday. The Swamp's discontinuing the Camp Tramp and Battlerat - which I still don't understand - should teach us all a lesson. Fortunately for me, I acquired both models; they are terrific blades, as are the Scrappers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Congrats on ordering a second Scrapper!!

Roo, do Scrappers really need safety in numbers? They are the top predator! Great idea having the cg and LE too though! I agree with PK about the BR's demise- [censored] fool idea stopping them! Missing out on spare Scrappers could grate down the road... When Dan does the INFI my credit card limit will get seriously hurt!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Paul,
Since dogs like to travel in packs, I needed another to increase my pack's size until the bowie comes out. Plus, I had that 'want a new knife' fever.

Tom,
I had always liked the camp tramp, in any of it's versions, but was too lazy to order it, with the everlasting wait for delivery. Now, my scrapper is practically the same size, with a much better blade shape (to me), and delivery is, well, in the same year.
I did get a satin battlerat, which I love. Had ordered a tan BR, but it never made delivery.

Roo keep growing the pack and have fun!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Ohhhh Satin Battle Rat......I think I need some new pants....

<perk> Pants??

I got those!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cynic...Good point bro...ok normal arm and a leg pricing is still in effect for ya bro!!!

Roo...The scrapper 6 and the camp tramp are pretty much the same size?? hmm didnt know that...I thought about grabbing one just for giggles and now I am glad I didnt...My scrapper has taken everything I have thrown at it and still begs me for more! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

No, the CT is a little longer. I'm going by having seen the SY6 is the same blade size at the M6, and I have an M6 and a CT and it's a little longer. Here's a pic so you can see:

Nice ColleCtion Andy!

Thanks. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It's slowly growing. Can't wait to add a crash axe, micarta howler, SY bowie maybe, SY INFI EDC, and more to the collection. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Roo - I fully understand having that "new knife fever" - I just ordered an LE version to go with my CG version! When my WONDERFUL wife asked what I wanted for my birthday, I told her a Scrapper LE. She said to go ahead and order one, so I did!!! I will make a new sheath for it myself, thereby retaining the "Scrap Yard " ideology. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Now, if they would only make the Bowie available for Christmas......... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Off to the dumpster behind the tanners shop then PK? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Or do like I was planning and recycle leather. Start looking at auctions, garage sales, and thrift stores for larger thicker leather like weightlifting belts, gun scabbards, etc. I've seen several thick weightlifting belts for $2-$3.

I have been looking for some weight belt.....the pawn shops around here are cleared out!

Most of the ones I've seen were at Goodwill. But, ya gotta keep checking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I regularly go to 7 or so different Goodwills throughout the week, and I've only seen 3-4 total there so far. But at least when you find one, they're really cheap!

Paul - I had bought some heavy leather scraps at the Tulsa gun show -cheap! - that I plan on using. Also, I have ordered a few items from LEATHER UNLIMITED, www.leatherunltd.com located in Wisconsin. I bought some cutlers rivets, holster clips, and a few other goodies from them, and they have been very good to deal with.

Andy made a great suggestion, that of checking Goodwills, and other thrift shops for materials. It is amazing what you can find there sometimes, and it is a good idea to keep checking back as they receive new stuff every week. My wife and I almost always find something!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I am attempting to make a Skeleton Key sheath from an old belt....that uh is old...OK fine...I out grew it!

No joy yet...
Mailman is getting used to me meeting him at the door, and he does want to see the new little black beast.
Maybe tomorrow....

Roo one day it'll come, then you can go beat the snot out of something! Guys your resoursefullness is a credit to you all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> (Apart from GF who should ease up on the pies... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />)

Paul - Gravelface really enjoys his deep-fried food!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hehe, at least it's led to a spare belt for sheath making... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

There is a bright side to everything~!

using a belt for sheath material?? I wanna see this bro!!!

I tend to make strops with my scrap belts!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Also for leathermaking supplies don’t forget www.tandyleather.com they may have a store near you that would save you on shipping.


I STILL haven’t finished mine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


I started it. He’s just copying me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It only works for smaller knives though due to width restrictions. But belts are a cheap source for leather if the knife is small enough. I can get brand new belts from the belt guy at the Sale Barn for $3 each. Or sometimes I find like new ones at Goodwill for $1. If you haven’t seen my belt sheath in progress, you can see it here: Shaker Sheath in Progress. And if you want to see the thead where we were originally talking about it and sharing leather making tips, see this thread: Leather Sheathmaking Question

Andy - Your sheath looks a lot like the one I made for my Scrapper, only I used leather cement and cutler's rivets. I will make a nicer one when I receive my LE version. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I thought of using pop rivets or something that would be easier, but I thought it wouldn’t look as nice. Eventually I’ll get around to finishing it. I’ve also been trying to wait until we’d be on the W side of Indy for some reason so I could go to the Tandy store and pick up some waxed thread. I don’t wait to pay $8 shipping for a $3 item. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Andy - If you get to Tandy, where the leather is handy, buy some cutler's rivets because they are dandy! You could make a decent sheath by just punching holes and inserting rivets - a few taps with a hammer joins the two rivet parts quite nicely. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom
