I wanted to open a single topic
for those who do not know where to look <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />





SYKCO 1311
Blade Thickness = 3/16”
Blade Length = 13.5”

The SYKCO 1311 knife will be available to order on Monday, August 27th 2012 and will be posted to the shopping cart after 9:00 pm eastern time. This knife would normally be priced at $239.95 but this is being offered at a customer appreciation price of $199.95 plus shipping and handling.

These knives are only available to ScrapYard Knife Forum Members. You will be able to place your order in the normal fashion of using the shopping cart on the ScrapYard website. There is no limit on the number of knives that a forum member can purchase. If you are at a Junk Yard Dog status (1000+ posts) and want your JYD number etched in the blade, free of charge, please add this to the special instruction box. Only one knife can be etched with the JYD number.

When you place your order in the shopping cart you will be required to enter your forum name and member number in the special instruction box towards the end of the check-out process. Your member number can be found by clicking on your forum name in the user list or visiting your profile page. The information should be listed in the following manner:
Forum Name:
Member Number:
JYD # (If applicable):

If any of the above information is missing, your order will be canceled
Please note; New members to the forum must be registered prior to 9:00 pm eastern time on August 27th 2012. If a member registers after this time, they will not be eligible to purchase the SYKCO 1311.

Good call Fabio. I think this will help out the new dogs find what they are questing for.

Card isn't charged till they ship, right. That might be a month or more?

Yes. Usually when you order you are not charged until your knife is ready for shipping. Now if you pay by paypal you are immediately charged. You can also pay by check of some sort.

IF you want to pay by other than standard means (Credit card or Paypal), contact Renee and let her know what you want to do and they will do their best to accommodate your wishes. Also if your delivery address is different than that on your card (or checks) again, contact Renee.

I don't know if it's been covered in another thread, but what's/where's our member number?

RN, click your name above your avatar, it should take you to a screen that shows your member number.

This is a good idea.

Also if you just put the cursor over your forum name and wait for a few seconds your member number will show up that way as well.

Ahhhh gotcha, thanks!

Wow this will be a best

Very cool

then... what is the grinding?

Is it Monday yet?

Handle size approx. 4.75" of Res-C goodness!

Thanks for the info rugos17.

Yea it,s going to be a Real Whacker for sure !!

Thanks for this post rugos.

I forgot I had an account over here. Lucky me! Can't wait to get this beast in hand...

2 looking better every day

TOMMY --- Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> By the way, I like your name. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

So this is where all the Scrappiest of Dogs hang out eh?

Looks like this blade is going to attract all types to the Yard. Even a few hogs, piglets and a rat or two?

Cool!

Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> You will find that many of us are Dogs, Rats, AND Hogs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard, Solstice.

No matter if Snort, Squeak, or Bark; this 1311 is a must.

And the Yard is full of great folks, so it's a win on multiple levels (to be a member here).

Will there be a black cordura sheath available from the SYKC store for the 1311?

It's been a while since my last knife, which was B11, but this thing is something else. It will be a perfect knife for that extended trekking into British Columbia's mountains!

What does one call a wild boar, jungle swamp rat, and pit bull hybrid beast? That's me...I like em all! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Well well I have not been here for awhile this might just be too good to pass on. I likes me a big ole blade especially when the price is right

I think what this sale is missing is a stipulation that you need to be a member for at least a week or so prior so that us loyal Dogs will at least have a chance. I know people are going to sign up for the forums left and right before the sale to buy a whole bunch (then immediately re-sell them), then never even visit us here. It makes it so normal people like us won't get their hands on it. No one ever said life is fair, but I feel like we're being marginalized when it would be very easy to change it so actual Dogs get first chance instead of the posers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

If you are a member you can order the blade. if you are a JYD Dan will etch your number on it. Easy enough. You have a crack at it.

Dan states that you can buy as many as you want. They are not limited. Just order on Monday and you will get yours. Some of the newbies will stay, some will leave. So far most have been nice, and they will hopefully stay.

Get your blade!

while I can understand the cause of the sentiment, I'm sorry to hear you post it the way you did. This is the sort of thing that will encourage some folks to only show up when there's something special to order.
Self-fulfilling prophecy, sort of like when Jerry opened up hog membership to anyone who owned a Busse knife, even if they had not shaken his hand at a show.
some folks grabbed up the offer and disappeared, some folks used it as a gateway drug to start a new knife addiction. some of the established HOGs spent so much time grumbling about all the new piglets they forgot what it means to be a hog/dog/rat.

I've been looking for a SYKCO blade that would fill a niche in my pile of users for a while -- this one really grabbed my attention.
so far looking around the site, I've seen a lot of good things, and I'm planning on hanging around to see more of them.

My understanding of this is that just because you can buy as many as you want, that doesn't necessarily mean there will be enough to go around for everyone.

I don't mind the fact that people will sign up just to get one as much as the fact that I know people will buy them just to re-sell them, when others who actually use the forums might not get a chance.

It will be truly awesome if Dan is willing to make enough blades to meet the demand, but that seems very unlikely to me at the moment. Never know for sure what's cooking in the Scrapyard steel kitchen, though, so my fingers are crossed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dan is very straight up. If its limited in numbers he generally lets us know. Will some choose to make a profit off of Dan's generousity? Sure. But I take it for the spirit in which it was given. Something nice for members and something special for those of us who hang around and post.

I don't worry about what the other guy does as long as it doesn't harm me I am good to go.

SB
Dan will take care of us.


MM

One with impeccable taste! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

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

Why am I getting all warm and fuzzy in my belly????? I am in love, many of use asked for something like this and Dan is making it happen!

I guess the teasing helped a little! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />....................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I think we can give this knife the nick-name "Big Daddy". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It really does deserve a better name...

Cool avatar Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I can think of some but at the moment none for a family forum!

Brothers from a different mother! All BusseKin!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the info rugos. This will be my first SYKCO.

Not in yet, huh?

Well, Dan did say after 9 PM...

The trouble is we don't know how long after 9PM...

I am hoping 9:01 PM and I am sure many others share my hope. At least we have a time zone.

In the Walmart parking lot waiting for this one to go up...Good times

Bring it!

well... Its 9:01!

Order IN!

pacific time zone, right?

I'm in

Wahooo

Yea

I can't wait.

NO, EASTERN TIME ZONE! for the start.

The time stamp on my e-mail was Pacific time.

yay

NICE

Looks like a must have! Got me over here and signed up :-P

One of these days I will learn how to read...I forgot to add my username and my member number. I was so quick to get in on this sweet deal I blew right past the details!

We have any idea how long it will be available- how far out until getting charged for it? I want one but need some time!!

Only Dan knows. Based on the 911, I would guess 6-8 weeks even if you got your order in pretty early.

I am sure Renee is busy with emails now, but you could email her about a time estimate.

SOOOO EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE!!

I hope it doesn't take 3 months to get it :P

Will this be the ultimate hacker. Maybe a assym. grind in the future.

Hunter

This is perfect for Florida's jungles.

My card got charged 15+ weeks after I ordered my 911, so you have plenty of time to put things together. I'm guessing now, but probably won't see these until December. I ordered my 911 in early May, still checking the mailbox everyday!

I guess the sled dogs needed a lot of rest stops while making the trip from Ohio to Juneau! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A Christmas MOAD. Red and green perhaps?

Make it REALLY special, tan blade and a Green handle color! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That would be cool. Or a choice of colors.

It is so quiet in the woods I should hear those huskies a ways off, nothing yet. 17 weeks today.
