A Good Knife Day

I started to get worried about my order today so I asked Patti for my tracking number. Tracking number just showed the shipping information was received from SYKCO but nothing else. I was hoping that meant the knives were in transit and indeed they landed at my doorstep today. A pleasant surprise was the SS4 I managed to scoop from Tony G arrived at the same time. It was indeed a Scrapyard kinda knife day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Without further adieu, fresh from the USPS shipping box I bring you....



Tada! The Hook still in the wrapper is Dice's. The Guard fits nicely in the Yard sheath and the Hook definitely does ride on the sheath edge. Things are hectic at my house because we're moving so I probably won't get to chop anything this weekend but stay tuned. Both the Guard and the Hook feel like they will make great choppers..slightly weight forward feel, comfy Res-C handles. Can't wait, can't wait. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Nice looking blades man. Definiltey a good day.

Congrats, Kraz. Nice score. Mine have not shipped yet, but hopefully they will soon. I think I am really going to like the Yard Guard. That thing looks like it could out chop any 7" knife I have. And I have many in that size. Wish I had a Camp Tramp to put up against it.

You have to mark this day in the calendar!
Congrats!!

Alright! Thanks again my man - I can't wait to get that Hook in my paws!! They sure are good lookin'! Hopefully my RD6 sheath will accomodate that Hook. Anyone have an RD sheath that has tried it out??

Thanks guys!

FYI, in a side-by-side comparison of the Swamp Rat Mini Mojo and the Yard Hook, the Hook is noticeably thicker. The Mini Mojo was spec'ed at .25" blade thickness and the Hook at .28" and it's really obvious when you hold them side by side.

The Hook has a more weight forward chopper feel to it while the Mojo has a more balanced, neutral feel in the hand.

Also the blade lengths of the two knives are different because of the handle differences. On the Mojo the micarta comes forward a good distance over the ricasso where on the Hook/Guard the handle stops short of the ricasso.

The cool part is that while the blades may look the same the knives feel very different.

So maybe the mini-mojo is a better fighter and the hook a better utility/fighter?

That's my impression H-D. The Mojo feels a little more nimble in the hand.

Outstanding, can't wait till mine show. Any day is a good day to slice and dice.

Congrats! *I* have a Camp Tramp…but I don’t have a guard/hook. That’s why I didn’t get one. Because I already had a CT.

all the other kids have mojos!

great to hear it kraz! maybe monday for me, I got both also (mojo-hook). I was wondering the differences, thx for sharing.

Anticipation is killing me. There's my baby, all wrapped up in plastic - can't wait to get it here and cut things! I just sliced down a whole lot of cardboard boxes with the DM. I have probably 200lbs of CARDBOARD that I've been hoarding in the garage over the winter so that I can drop them off at recycling. If it was just up to me - I would just toss it all - but the Nun that lives downstairs said "you ARE going to recycle all of those boxes, right?" when I was moving in. I figure its not worth going to hell over.

Aaaanyways, I can't WAIT to get that Hook over here w/ the rest of the family! I think that the DF might go chop some wood tomorrow if I'm able to get away from the house, in the mean time!

congrats on the new SR77 treats Kraz... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very cool, congrats! Im still waiting on mine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Thanks again guys. I'm sure your knives are well on their way to you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I even shipped Dice's Hook today rather than keep him on the hook any longer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Lew,
WOW that is a GREAT knife day! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
The kind of knife day that one never forgets! What a good thing to happen to such a great person! Congratulations on the score. And man oh man that SS-4 gulp...I think that is so special! I'm going to put my SS-4 wish under my pillow and hope my bride fulfills it for Fathers Day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
That is one of those NEVER use knife I love looking at!
Sweet job Buddie!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
