Is this the last straw?

Is it just me, or does other of you guys feel, that the most recent "new knife in 2 weeks" update is the last straw?

I have a sense, that many of the last "regulars" on here will simply fade away. Patience has been spent.

I have been on here for four years now, seen my self post less and less frequent. As have many others.

But lately, one begins to feel stupid checking in. More stupid than before.

And that is sad, cus' Scrap Yard is what got me into the whole Bussekin thing.

When I saw Noss beat the Scrapper 6, and it held up to his abuse, I have not looked back.
Only now there seems to be nothing to forward to. Except the promise of steel, that never comes.

Prove me wrong Dan, please.

I disappeared for a while. I saw the same video you did and that's what got me here. I'm here for the community... I'm not really interested in 1095 knives... Which is what is promised. Idk... Guess time will tell brother.

Sadly, MANY of our long time members and JYD's have left due to the poor or misleading communications and lack of steel.

disappointing but i'm sure a lot of things can come up in this business

I've seen many of the old timers leave and never come back. I'm sure its because lack of communications mostly. This board used to have 2 to 3 times as much activity and posts, but now its pretty much dead. I left here for 2 or 3 years because it was dead on here and very few new knives to discuss. Years ago there was a few new Scrapyard knives a year, so there was lots to discuss. I already seen some regulars stop checking in and posting and I'm sure more will do the same.

Yep. It's sad. The gaps between steel are hard on believers. While I know part of Busse sales is the mystery of what's next and when we the customers would love more communication from the people working at the shop and the Busse family.
If there isn't steel then at least let us know you are alive more often.
And please communicate with the forum mods. Tom is amazing and if he
Isn't being spoken to and is having doubts that's a symptom of a bigger problem.

I'm starting to suspect the "new old model" predates Scrapyard and maybe even the Swamp... a scrap yard without steel is after all just a vacant lot.

x2

The "two weeks" joke wears thin when you feel like you're just being ignored.

Nothing good can come from taking your customers from granted.

I am fairly certain, that I will stick around.
And I am also fairly certain, that I will buy another Scrap Yard knife. If Dan ever releases one...!!

I have tought about making some dramatic exit, promising never to return.
But I would feel so stupid coming crawling back, in 2017, when Dan releases the 10-year Anniversary INFI Scrapper 6 at 3/16" thickness, at a favorable price

Lol yeah very true

If it keeps going like this there may not be anything left by 2017.

Sigh.... How long ago was it that the yard released a new blade. Some time in
2014?

Another announcement teaser over at BFC. This has gotten old.

You might want to read the thread "2 weeks Is Up...Next Offer"

Its very cool and I pulled out all the stops

Enjoy

Dan

Thanks Dan for the update

YUP, you're gonna hate yourself cause you didn't get a TRASH1!

Oh wait, we Can't get one yet. Doh

I say 'god [censored]'!

That is one awesome blade there!

Thanks Dan, for proving me wrong

I'm still waiting for your "Dramatic" exit...

MM

No "dramatic exit" for me, just a TRASH-1 ordered!

Now what remains is to see whether communications improve.

I spent my knife money elsewhere
So it will be a while before my steel treat

Yeah, Dan just slammed the door shut, on that exit

Just when you thought you were out...

MM

That has got to be the best looking pile of TRASH I've ever seen!!

I'm in!!!!!!!!

It IS pretty dog-gone sweet!!!

It sure is a nice addition!
Now to get the collective to get the order numbers...

Australia is going to sink a little after you Aussies get your new blades! .........................

Oz will be the new Atlantis!

And Andy will be the new Aquaman???

Lol

It is very nice to see steel in the yard again! Waiting to see how this plays out for a bit... no spending $$ for a while since the BG AD got dibs. I guess it was just bgad timing...

I have a feeling most of my knife cash for the rest of the year will go to Busse Battle Grade releases

MM


Though I got a piece of TRASH

With the way Busse is releasing knives I don't know if the TRASH will make the cut.

In saw that noss video and bought my first scrapyard shortly after, and never looked back. I see all the blades released in previous years and in the years I've been hanging around very few new releases. I keep waiting for new designs from the yard and even Busse.

Feeling that! No money left in the coffers...

This!!!

They keep recycling blade shapes and using different steels and switch handles, but it's still pretty much the same old stuff.

True. The only really new designs I've seen are the MMD and the MOABOLO.

I have to agree to this. If they were bringing back old designs, I wish they could bring back their old knives that put them on the map, like the scrapper 6, dogfighter, yard hook and those old school knives.

Well, my thinking is that the entire BKG is heading back to the old model of sales where the Yard is back to. Busse seems to be also, not sure about the Swamp though.

That being said, in order to continue hitting a certain price/performance ratio it would make sense from a CNC standpoint to just use designs that are already programmed.
