How About Some Regular Scraps for the Yard?

How about it Dan? Can the Yard have a few regular offerings to keep us interested and buying blades when the need arises? I'd rather give you my money than someone flipping the same blade for 3x the profit. Keep the new offerings coming, but give us a little kibble in the bowl!

I'd vote for keeping in regular stock the:

-- 411

-- SS6

-- Bulldog Regulator

-- Dogfather

Open to other ideas. These seem to be some of the most versatile blades on the planet, based on what I've seen.

Some of the "classics" that might be marketable as "standard offerings":

711
Dogfather (SR101 version)
Scrapper 5
Yard Keeper CG (SR101 version)

Love to see some classic Scrapyards as standard offerings.

Dan talked about it a while ago, but it looks like he has been MIA on here for a month or two.

I could dig a Street Scrapper 5. It's the mudder grips that very me going with the 411

I'd say do one in every length!

The feel and the "Sculpting" of the Mudders just work.

The General likes her S5 so much that she keeps it in the bottom of her purse.

So does Randy!

I DO NOT! It's clipped to the side so it doesn't get lost among all the tissues tweezers nail files and other necessities. Oh and lip balm. Can't forget the lip balm.

For a while I carried all the stuff I needed in my clutch bag. Course that was when I smoked a pipe. I had to carry the pipe, pipe cleaners, tamper and tobacco somewhere handy. Oh and that was when I was still active duty of course. We used to greet all the sailors when they flew in.

I felt all dirty when Randy was describing the mudders...

DT, from now on they will be referred to as "Ergonomic high traction grips".

But for you we'll make it easy and just call them EHT Grips.

What color “lip balm” do you use?

I used to clip my Dogfather to the outside of my range bag until some cops me it looked “aggressive”. BTW, that’s why it was there. So I decided to carry it inside the bag. The Dogfather made for some nice conversations at the range. Caused more people to crowd around and ask about it than anything else I had except for my Kentucky rifles.

The DogFather IS something to talk about!

Usually Strawberry or Cherry.

That's what I thought!

It brings out the Brown in my eyes.

Your eyes must be the level indicator.

Hee hee. I wondered who would be first.

Ray is SO wise!

YUP, he's a deep thinker all right.

Wise guy, perhaps.

Deep thinking Wise Guy! .......................................

So you saying your "Uncle Vinnie" isn't really your uncle? Guess I better start being nice or I might wake up with an animal head in my front yard.

Better than a horse's head next to you!

Well I was gonna say that but didn't want to be gross.

Gross would have been the OTHER end!

Uncle Vinnie and some friends will be visiting you tonight. Make sure you have plenty of cannolis, Sambuca and coffee. Good coffee. Not that instant crap. Hope you have a nice chat.

Cannolis I know about. Coffee, all we have available is Folgers and maxwell house. Sambuca is a mystery to me, but I will look it up.

Instant crap? Is that when the Cats actually eat as in actually chewing up the Coffee beans instead of just swallowing them whole?

Yes. They chew the beans and then drink water from the hot springs. Instant coffee crap.

Hey, where can I get a jar or two of that?

I would be happy to make some up for you. I would give it my personal attention. No charge either.

Sounds good, but I am kinda worried about your, Personal touch.

I'm sure Ray would take good care of you.

Well, I have gone through some extensive medical testing in the last few years and have been certified to be communicative disease free. I am USDA approved and could look into being certified kosher if you need that but I am not halaal.

We don't do halaal in this house. Although Couscous isn't bad.

Is there any chance the "11" series will return? I'm thinking especially an 1111.

Good question!

I like the 311, 511 and 1311. I have the 7 & 9 inch range covered pretty well with others, so I skipped the 711 & 911. I do wish I had an 1111 though.

I have all the "11" series except for the 1111. Just couldn't make myself let go of George just to buy one for nothing more than a collector piece.

You have to spend some of your fortune SOMETIME Randy. ;

Yeah I know Tom, but as I stated elsewhere, had to buy a new phone, and Our fridge really needs replacing. We have had it since the middle of 1994 and it's starting to act up some. AND then we need a new storm door, and we should replace our old water stained spotted flooring... It never ends. But things that are NEEDED should come before things that are just wanted.

Can't argue with you there.

You just never know

Dan

WE don't know, but I bet you DO!

Possibly

Dan

I like the 511 so well I bought a couple of extras, just in case I break one or wear it out using it.

Wear out a Yard Blade! Folks been trying that for at least 3 thousand years and all they've done is scuff the finish.

I didn't know you were THAT old Randy!

In the beginning there was mud. I remember that.

I believe it!!!

Well, I guess if the knives last that long, then maybe I don't need a spare.

Variety is the spice of life.

As I mentioned in the Death Chat thread, Spring starts in the US on Thursday 3/19 this year, so how about a SY Spring Special?
An AR-15 knife (similar to the Alpha Regulator 9.5, maybe a little shorter & slimmer) would be awesome!

2 is 1 , and 1 is none!

Sure it is...now my brain hurt
Dan

That Common Core Math is Murder!

I agree, Nath is hard

Dan

I like the idea of a Spring Special!!!

When I mentioned the idea of an AR-15 knife, I meant shorter in height, NOT length. So put a Regulator handle on a MOAB blade, and call it the "AR-15" - WOW!

For sure!
