Something New at Knob Creek!!!!

I saw some new blades at the Creek!! I haven't been able to log on as I forgot my password and couldn't keep the family posted......

I won't say what it is ....Dan can, But all I can say is SWEET!!!!!

Spill the beans GF!!

Throw us a bone here Jason! Give a dog a hint would ya? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You want a hint........You will like it!

Is it a knife that could be carried in the pocket perhaps?

How deep is your pocket?

5" more or less <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

How deep should it be?

Come on GF! Spill the beans unless Dan told you not to! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Help your snow bound brother out who couldn't make it!

I am staying outta this........Dan......you can tell them!

GF, you know your secret is safe here in the yard. What is it?

Well, some will love it and some will not....and some will get it just because it is new!....I am still waiting for my Dumpster Mutt.....Im going home......

It must be one of those little knives. Hope it's a 4" and not a 3".

Hmmmm.... I'm really curious.

Unless it's some new fangled bladeless design, I know I'm gonna love it!

Ummm... Did Dan say when he was going to tell us about them? Did you take pictures? If so, I'll give you a dollar if you email them to me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Something sharp perhaps? Just tossing it out there.

Dan will surely tell us now. After all, as important as Knob Creek and full auto is, WE ARE THE DOGS IN THE SCRAP YARD!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Gravelface,Doh!
did they confiscate your camera and make you sign a hush hush thing?
or did they bribe you with beer??

Quit Teasing! TELL us!

WORSE, Amy-0's cheesecake!! My lips are sealed.....from sugary goodness!

Come on! Jerry has already posted pics of the new Busse customs over on their forum. Are we less worthy?

Horn Dog's right.. chances are we've Already seen it on the Knoboganzaaaa pic Pages 1,2,3,4
(Amazing blades btw!!)

sooooo you might as well just.. tell us. Don't let it eat away at you. secrets are bad for your soul.. so let us help you. share the pain with us.

Well.......hmmmmmm

I didn't get one.....they were gone by the time I got my truck fixed and got my tail up there....but I did get to hold it. Yes, my truck broke on Friday the 13th on the first day of Knob Creek...I didn't get there until about 1:00 PM. I would like for Dan to say it is cool ...I don't want to "steel" his thunder.

gravelface is right, we wait for dan, this is his ship.

But we're Pirates! Yar! We're takin' this ship over! Show us the booty!

You're a bigger tease than the girls I dated in High School.

What a load of crap. Spill the beans!

Its a 1" long .5" thick round point neck knife in 420 J2?

Yep, that would definitely fit in my pocket.

So would a rock. The rock might be more useful.

True, but who's gonna replace my rock when it breaks?

Bozo What comics are you into?

No changing the subject, GF! What IS it?

hahaah!

ditto...

i got pissed at a spawn camper on xbox live so i sent him an image mooning the 360 camera.

Ghost Rider for one, and no not because of the movie....I've was collecting GR 15 years ago. And once in a while I'll pick up some manga (Berserk, anything historical, samurai stuff). And My fav has to Wolverine. Although my ammo habits and knife buying have taken precedance over my comic collecting lately. So I've just become a casual buyer, although I still attend the Motor City Comic Con when it arrives.

Vic...PM me I will tell you and no one else!

Bozo...Lobo is my all time favorite.

i had this issue of venom where the symbiot took wolverine as a host. he could just keep feeding and taking from wolverine who just kept healing faster and stronger thanks to the symbiot, it was the mutant+alien equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. they beat it by blowin up some sonic bomb in wolverine's chest, or somethin an he said the verizon dude's line "can you hear me now?"

so lame.

Ahh yes Lobo, one of the few DC books I actually liked.

Magnum, I think I have that one buried in one of comic boxes...if it had Wolvie in it I was all over it.

PM me, I am not sure what you are refering too...maybe

Dan

Sure glad I got my SR77 secret decoder ring when I made Junk Yard Dog.

I heard the Scrapyard version of the Tank Buster was going to be made from depleted uranium! Whoah! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This plot is like molasses!!!

That is, of course, JYD level information. Its seems that some grateful soldiers obtained several thousand pounds of depleted uranium sabot penetrators from spent anti-tank rounds that lodged in one of Sadam's palace walls. This is very dense material, that just barley glows in the dark. Perfect for finding your dropped keys so the knife..... CLASSIFIED JYD .

i heard somethin similar. apparently there was a freak accident in the scrap yard labs facility and some uranium fell into the austenite and contaminated it, creating a nuclear austeninte cementite shock steel that created perfect bands in the grain that could be martenized without creating stress in the blade thus antiquating the tempering process! it doesn't even make contact with the media it cuts, it radiates and separates the matter. never needs to be sharpened and comes in an antimatter sheath. it would be guaranteed beyond doomsday if anyone was still around to use it, or replace it.

LOL!!

We could get some scrap M1A1 Armor Plates and turn those into the Baddest blades around! The material is classified and they send out special recovery teams on all damaged tanks!!! Sounds like perfect Scrap Yard material!!

um....get some. i just finished drawing up a few sword designs of my own. we gotta build a concrete forge at the treehouse in montana.

I want whatever damaged them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Man, when I clicked on this I was thinking "perhaps a new whiskey that will really help win over the ladies".

But if it's new steel intel, that's gotta be a close second.

Can't wait to see what it is

RED ALERT RED ALERT RED ALERT...KNOB CREEK PHOTO LEAK @ BLADEFORUMS

I took the photo I was going to repost here down

Hint: They ain't wimpy knives boys. H-D will be pleased <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Mojo & Uncle Mojos! in Res-C!

Well, since the secret is out...

You guys run a hell of a G2. I must go over and check it out.

Got a link? I could not find it. Could just be wishful thinking.

Nice pix on BF, I really like the olive/tan HRLMs, and mini Mojo. Bring it Dan, we need to give you our money!!!

Man you beat me to the post HD

Try this H-D

Knob creek knife photo

I still want an SR-77 skeleton warden, an AK-47 and a Hell Razor. I want either really big or really small.

http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=467589&p=4526737

Hell Razor: 7" blade
Mini Mojo: 6 3/4" blade

I got SR mini Mojo w/ beer bottle opener. The Hell Razor design is wicked, especially with the patented Busse grooves.

I did not realize the Hell Razor was so small, the blade looks wider and I like the skull crusher. I am with Dice I likes me the skull crushers on my blades!

The Hell Razor definitely looks cool but I'm not a fan of corrugations in a working knife. A slick smooth flat grind would be my preference but I'd take an HR if someone was to give me one <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the specs. I just measured my mojo and it has almost exactly a 6' useable blade. Shes a beaut, but the handle is a little thin. Not sure about SR-101 though.

My mojo above is currently a safe queen, she is not practical for any application I need. Chances are the HR would be the same. I have the DM & DF for most duties and Emerson folders for EDC.

I just quoted the Busse marketing lengths of the knives. The finger choil is usually included in the blade length.

I'm pretty ambivalent about the Mojo handles myself. While I love the HRLM handles, the handles on the Mini Mojo size blade just don't feel quite as good. They're ok but I imagine Res-C would feel a lot better.

Bingo, I am really sold on Res-C now as it cleans up well. I wish Dan would get some chunkier Res-C though.

I am delighted by this manly offering!
These are real knives! Just in time for the coming chaos!
Mojo Madness! I got my Mojo workin' baby.....
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I am pumped too! We need some time frames. I got to start conning the wife well in advance.

I am not arguing with you Kraz. You are always a fountain of un-endless info! I have learned so much from your posts and laughed many many times at your rapier wit! Keep it coming.

Oh yeah, It must be soon, I have a B-Day in two weeks...I can see it now, Happy Birthday to me!!!

<Monty Python> "Well you came here for an argument" "No I didn't!" "Yes you did!" LOL One of my favorite MP skits.

I want the Mojo w/ no bottle opener.

What was the secret handshake again? I haven't been able to jocky my computer properly today so I'm missing out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That is a classic skit. "I want my money back! No you can't have it back! Oh I get it we are arguing now! No we aren't" Love MP

I've had to clean some marks off my monitor from my riding whip. Cheap leather I guess. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

A conoseur of such fine IPAs does not want the mini mojo with bottle opener?! What has the world come to? Good evening Dice

Kraz, you and Tony beat all I ever saw. Five minutes after I was sworn to secrecy and had already launched counter intel disinformation campaign, you guys G2 the pics! I wish I had guys like you when I was S2!

Good Evening! I like the thumb ramp on the non-opener model

HD are you sure about that? The S2 is supposed to keep a lid on info, not mass release it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

oh man.. i kinda envy the guys at Knob Creek right now..
but kinda don't.. cuz my wallet wouldn't be able to handle it!

That is true, 09, but they are supposed to gather information as well. Tony and Kraz were on it. They reported it to the dogs! Of course, had they been working for me, they would have reported it to me only. They are some very good scouts!

Haha. Sorry to mess up your plan H-D <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've always wanted to be a snoop, er scoop, reporter! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Plan? I didn't have time for a frigging plan! I found out privately and agreed not to tell. Within minutes of finding out the new models, I see their pics on the forum. I go to BF verify and get the links. Once I verify that it is true, I have no secret to keep. Time to celibrate with you dogs! What a network, with photo espionage at Knob Creek!

I hope those Mojos come out soon.

Real soon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if they will be out before or after the DFLE...

Me too! One of each, please.

I'm still on the fence about the DFLE. I don't need a safe queen SYKCo, and my CG has already got it covered! I'd be more apt to get a Mojo than DFLE if they come out around the same time.

If they're almost free like the DM's were I'll ge both! If I have to choose one, I'll leave the bottle opener off <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I just use my teeth.

The one with a bottle opener might not fit in a standard tactical sheath. I am tired of ordering knives without sheaths. I hope they have sheaths available when they are offered.

I've got an RD6 sheath sitting here that I thought I was going to use for the DM, (which is too small) - so it may work for the Mojo!

The DFLE is still next, right?

I guess I don't really see the appeal of the mini mojos. A recurve might make sense for certain applications on a big 9"+ blade, but I don't see it as practical on such a short blade.

Based on the great work you do with the belt sander, you should make your own Kydex sheaths. It's relativiely inexpensive to get started and with some basic practice, you can bang out sheaths for your whole collection. This was my main reason for getting the tools to make sheaths, I was tired of not having sheaths for knives. It would have cost me hundreds of dollars to buy sheaths for all of my knives.

That's what Dan said H-D. But the man is full of surprises, and I like that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am definitely interested, Jeeps. Got any suggestions as to what to get and where to get it? I am sick of black kydex, too. A little color might be nice for a change.

I will write up a list of what I got and my recommendations and then pm you so I don't hijack the thread.

I find I like a recurved blade as long as it isn't too extreme. The recurve makes the small blade a slightly better chopper and a slightly better slicer. The negative to the recurve is that its a little harder to sharpen, but not terribly so in my experience.

In the Mini Mojo its probably not a feature that makes a huge difference one way or another. IMO, it does add some visual appeal to the blade.

The bigger question is probably whether you need an almost 7" blade in the first place.

Hey Jeeps would you mind starting a new thread so we can all have it as reference? I too would love to see what your thoughts and recommendations are.

IMO, 7" blades have a limited use - My USMC and RD7 are strictly for field use w/ the military, and something that I would take w/ me to combat. The Mojo would be in the same boat (and the USMC would be out!)

Edit - I'm saying, too short to chop well, too big to do smaller utility work, but a good size for digging or sticking people.

Will do, I thought about that too.

Maybe it is because I have used 6 and 7 inch blades for so long, but I like them. The first time I ever saw a knife chop down a tree it was a US Navy Ka-Bar in the hands of 12 year old kid. It was a fairly large pine tree, too. A 7" blade can chop, and it is more compact and easier to handle than a 9" or 10" knife.

excellent, +1 on that idea!
lookin forward to the read too <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We are all here to learn. And have fun.

Hmmm... I guess I'm saying that it isn't ideal for either chopping or small tasks, but if I just had one knife for field use, it would be a 7" blade. On the civilian side, I'd just bring a big ol' chopper and a 5" fixed blade.

I just think a 7" recurve would be fine. Lets face it, Dice, you and I have so many damned choices, it is hard to pick just one. I am taking a Condor jungle bowie and a DM on my next trip far into the swamp. If I had to pick just one knife, it would be a 6" or 7" knife. I used to carry Ka-Bar until I got a Kukri.

OK, you're right. I still say that to maximize your 7" blade's potential you need to bury it in someone's chest. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> My RD7 is a fairly lousy chopper, but great field knife.

I have the Swamp Rat Mini Mojo and it FITS the nylon sheath just fine. I'm not sure I will like the MM with a Res-C handle personally. It balances really well with the micarta handles and the Res-C knives seem to have a more forward balance.

Dice has choices?<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I have like 40+ khuks to choose from and then all the other knives I have. My vacation would be over before I figured out what blades to take. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

We are indeed blessed to have such problems. 40+ khuks. Wow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've got a dozen real nice fixed blades - 4 choppers, 4 midsize, and 4 EDC - and I can barely make choices. I don't know how Ted even functions!

And the longer we hang out here, the worse it gets!

Having to choose between 1 of 40 + Khuk's, oh the horror. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'd say to just throw on a blind fold and grab one, but Ted would probably lose a hand if he tried that...

Well I kept telling myself I was going to hold off on the next Scrap Yard knife but I really want a Mojo with no bottle opener... I just can't help myself.

I don't think it'll be next, but I'm definately in the same boat as you are - I WILL have a mojo, sans bottle opener!

LOL, at my new place the landlady put an extra display case in because she knew I had a lot of nice knives and she thought I might want to use the case to display them. I didn't have the heart to tell her I needed about 8 more cases to display them all. The ones I did put in there look nice though. Even my sheeple friends think they are cool if they're under glass. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Sounds interesting - I'd like to see a pic sometime - your collection is beautiful.

Maybe it is a pocket sized monkey with knives tied to his hands?

just caught up on this thread. very interesting. dunno if i'll get the mojo or wait for the scrapper 7.

as for the 7" knife argument, like all steel, it's a compromise. however, with the advent of the dumpster mutt, you don't have to compromise. easy to carry, short and agile, chops like a big knife, awesome steel, comfy grip...you lose so little.

I just caught up here too. I really like the resC Mini Uncle Mojo -no bottle opener! It will be a must have for me.

I'm waiting for the Scrapper 7.

Dogs, I was caught off guard with this note. I had planned to have the new knives debut on Saturday afternoon at Knob Creek while posting them for preview on the forum. My intent was to give a taste of what is coming.

Leave it to the Hogs and alcohol to let them out early. Raise your morning beer to salute Gath and Josh at Busse Combat.

Plan on seeing an announcement later today

Dan

'Plan on seeing an announcement later today'


Woohoo! Thats just what I wanted to see, Thanks Dan!

See, the early release was not the DOGS fault! It was drunken Hogs that did this. Their security is not as tight as ours. We have all been good dogs. LOL

ooh a formal annoucement

I'm a blue jeans kinda guy. I don't need formal! JUST BRING IT! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Dan's going to be wearing a tuxedo? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

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

The ultimate in formal Scrap Yard attire:


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

Can't wait to hear the official word!

Ooooooh I can't wait. Dangit, I might not be able to see the announcement til Monday unless Dan posts it in the next two hours. C'mon Dan, Lets see the new addition to the pack!!!!

Wow just when i told my g/f i was not gonna by anymore knives for awhile LOL. Now this happens. Time to start hording the money i need a new blade fix.

These are what I WANT BAD!

My wife just shakes her head when I bust out with that line.

I have permission <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My lady friend understands. That quite different from a wife, though.

When?

When what?

and how! (big chief passes peace pipe)

scrambled

eh?

Real soon, now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Any minute..... All I need is another knife purchase and my wife is going to go over the edge.

Old joke.

A business man hears about an extremely old Indian Chief who is all knowing and all seeing, and who has the greatest memory in the world.

The business man travels long and far to meet with the Indian chief. He first raises his hand and greets the great chief in the customary fashion 'How' and the great chief replies 'How.'

The business man proceeds to ask questions about how to conduct his new business venture. He is surprised at the wisdom of the great chief, and decides to ask him a question to stump him. The business man asks, 'what did i have for breakfast on April 12 1974 for my 13th birthday?' and the great chief replies 'eggs.'

on that note, the business man leaves.

over the next few years, the business man sees great success but starts to think it was just his own luck and cunning, and that the Indian Chief was just spewing lucky guesses, and that the great chief may just be a bs artist. A decade later the business man decided to set out and test the great chief again.

The business man again travels long and far to meet with the Great Indian chief and greets him in the customary way 'How' to which the Great Indian Chief replies 'Scrambled.'

lol pretty good.

What would you think if I put them up for sale this week?

Dan

You'd make this grown man cry since I will be away on course until next weekend, starting monday... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

What about tomorrow?

Just a thought
Dan

Compliments get you everywhere. What day sounds good to the Dogs

Dan

Tonight or tomorrow would ABSOLUTELY ROCK!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

By "them" do you mean the Mojos, or the Mojos AND the DFLE?

Tomorrow would rock Dan.

That would blow my mind... And break my credit card! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

If it is just the Mojos, I'll take one of each, but I may pass on the S7 when it is offered. If it is the Mojos and the DFLE, I'll get one Mojo and one DFLE and wait on the S7.

That would rock!

Dumpster Dan,Holy smokes! Dan grinds blades Faster than i thought!!

Ehh I neeed an ax or a hatchet

BRING THEM! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

[censored] i just spent a lot on movies and i had to file my taxes 2day im borke till friday.

Looks like im gonna have to sit this release out till next time.

I'm in the same boat knifeparty, I might have money by Wednesday though. The suspense is killing me!!

Not necessrily, KP. There may be enough to last a week or two.

Specs tonight, and sale tomorrow! If you pull this off... WOW.
Just the possibility means i will pass on the muddy minimojo I was gonna buy tonight at the ganza, in favor of a scrapper mojo.. BigTime!

Bring it on!

SEE DAN? YOU SHOULD ANNOUNCE BEFORE THE GANZA AND SELL MORE KNIVES!!

Is he worried that SOME might prefer a SYKCO to a Busse Combat or Swamp Rat? Surely the Big Hog is secure in his customer loyalty to INFI.

Wow....this thread has grown faster than that growth ...........

Their server is locked up now. Dan could announce that the Mojos will be offered on Monday (48 hr notice) now, and we all could avoid the ganzamania and calmly order Monday night. It would be beautiful.

I think it'll be after knoboganza

I have a Big Busse FBM and I am getting a little BATAC. I have one Swamp Rat HRLM. All the rest of my Busses will be Dan Busses. I am rock solid, 100% certain of this.......right now.

That would be great. As we used to say "I'll find a way!"

I like too many styles to limit myself.....the new Rat Mastiff Chopper is really apealing ....the Proto FBM is absolutly outstanding! And the DFLE will be way too much fun.....then you have all those damned cooky customs that are little gems......too many knives....sooo little time.

And so little $$$$$$$$!!!!!!! Espescially after the last few weeks of steel purchases.

DOn't remind me!.......also Blade in 8 weeks! SOunds like some overtime coming my way! Might have to get rid of all my non users! ...maybe a few of my occasional users also....tough times we livin in Brothers!

Bring on the MOJO's!!!!!!!

Horn Dog,hahaha,
That's what you said BEFORE the BATAC!

Gravelface is right.. the next Sexy thing that comes along & Speaks to us.. that "100% certainty" will go right down the drain again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan,
How about right now? after all, I'm here, instead of sleeping.
Seriously, a release tomorrow or monday would be cool. it would warm the hearts of all the mutts who did not get a score at the busse site, or could not afford the offerings.

We are weak Dog brothers! It is genetic! Fire hydrants are made of iron. We seek new steel to make our own! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

so now the waiting starts, I hear they'll start monday and go for at least 2 weeks to send out all the replies, if your lucky!

(making call) "hello Jerry, cancel my order please, Dan just threw a curve ball!"

Well, no word yet. I guess it is safe to go to bed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

When Dan didn't announce during the ganza, which would have been fun as hell, I got bored and went to bed. The only Mojos I am really intersted in are the SYs. I could have bought a SR Mojo last week, but ordered the Busse BATAC instead. The only knife in the ganza that I really wanted was the Argonne Assault. It was too expensive.
