Thanks. It isn't really an in depth review. I figured that members of this forum already know the virtues of SR-101 steel and resiprene handles. I'm sure the Mud Mutt can hold up to any punishment this old man can dish out. This is a light and pleasant knife to use and carry. Big enough to do some serious work, but compact and light enough not to get left in the jeep when I go for a walk. I like the knife a lot.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Good to see ya Vic! Find the thickness to be sufficient for most jobs?

The blade is plenty thick. You don't need a .25" thick blade in a knife that size anyway.

Agreed. Just haven't actually handled one myself to know how thick it is compared to my other blades--not rightly sure where my calipers are at the moment....somewhere lost in the junk in my basement, I assume

I just found my calipers. They've been MIA for about three years. I'll loan them to you. Great review! I missed buying a Scrapper 5 years ago and regretted it until know. I really like the blade profile for a general go-to knife for the trail.

Hey, it might not have been an "In depth" review Vic, but it IS in historic Horn Dog Style! Thanks so much for the review. Your "Impressions" carry a lot of weight here as they are actual, factual no BS allowed reviews. You don't sugar coat anything and that is just the way we all like it.

Vic I have said it before but I will say it again One of the things that kept me coming back to the yard in my early days here were your wonderful reviews I do miss them. Thanks. It isn't really an in depth review. I figured that members of this forum already know the virtues of SR-101 steel and resiprene handles. I'm sure the Mud Mutt can hold up to any punishment this old man can dish out. This is a light and pleasant knife to use and carry.

Your order ID is #407. 12-24-13
Patiently waiting for my turn to hold one. I went $20.00 longer for the leather sheath too.
Sometimes 8 weeks can seem like forever. But at least I had your review to look at and imagine holding the 10" overall Muscle of love from Scrap Yard! Always nice to have a handle that is big enough for the blade. This 50/50 split has me very excited to say the least.
Peace.
