2 Versions of this Beast.....I have to sell something...now!!!! Dan, you have made my month with that picture!!!!

She is so very pretty....I am now wide awake at 2:30 in the morning.....now I will never sleep!

HOLY COW !!!!!! Well done ScrapYard!

HOW MUCH??? I WANT ONE!! Maybe both versions...

DAMMIT THAT'S A BEAST!

I'm back in the BCAA guys!

Ok....I thought I could hold out pass Christmas...I admit it....I was wrong. I now cannot wait after seeing the picture! Please, may I pick it up in person, I can't bare the thought of that Beast having to go through the postal system?!

I want one now! [censored] Royal Mail will take ages to deliver it...

Paul, I thought you wanted the mudder?......what happened <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

(GF) No false edge (to mess up batons) and it's .275" thick... I like the thumb ramp too- nice touch! I WANT ONE!!! I still want the mudder so much it hurts but this will kill the pain for a while! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

BUMP

Swwweeeet!!

I'm with Gravel, I live in Chicago but I'll make the road trip to Texas for a few of those BMF's.

GRRRRR!!!!!


Why did ya HAVE to post that!!!

Now I gotta put some more stuff on sale!

When are they gonna be available??

OMG!! I want one!! I need to sell some knives. I wonder how much it is going to be??? I have to have one!! That is sweeeeeeet!! I want the CG first!!

Does it make sense if I say I want them both first?

Hell yeah!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

We need a price and a start date for ordering those big beautiful blades!

What Paul said!!! How much and how soon?!!!??? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I don't care about the price....just let me know when I can pick it up!!!!!

GF - Can I borrow some money ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Enough for a Bowie...I got you covered!

hmm can I BORROW a bowie?

Thank you Jason - you are truly a first-class person!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I AM curious as to how much the Bowie is going to cost, like everyone else. Of course, if I win the naming contest, then I could get BOTH models! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

D'oh... I got so caught up with the contest that I forgot to comment on the knife! I really like the front part of the blade-- it looks like it'll also be really good for push cutting, in addition to being a chopping monster. This is a bowie that's made for using!

Only if it has a sheath when it comes back <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is jfudgeo help, can't gfjkgjp see straight fkf need to get to my pills. Must get bowie, must get bowie, must get bowie.

See!!! See what it is doing to your faithfull congregation!!! Give us the Bowie or we face delusions and computer illiteracy. Please Help!!

GF - I think they like to tease and torment us!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like a plan bro!!!

You ROCK! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if they'll have a sheath for it? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

If not, or if you prefer leather or Kydex- contact Leatherface or some of the other sheathmakers on this forum. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

How much, and when?
I guess I am in for one of each. I like the 10'' blade length.

Finding this posting has made my night!
Finally, actual pic, and description!!!

leatherface,
I guess it will be time to stock up on some heavy duty leather!

Thats so close to what I wanted, I can live with it... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Uhm.. can I have it by Christmas ?????

I have a feeling they are gonna move a lot of these.

I have already e-mailed my leatherdude at Zack Whites for some 8-9oz dead animal flesh!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hmmm..Full welt and TOOLING!!!! WOOHOO I love LEATHER!!!

ohh yea and Kydex! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I am thinking the price will be around...

1 arm

1 leg

1 ear

And a swiss army knife Super Tinker!!!

Hmm…I might pass on this one. I was interested in how a new steel would perform, but money’s kinda tight right now and it’s too similar to my BR. I like the thumb ramp on top. My RatMastiff has that and I think it’s more comfortable with it. I wish my BR had one. I dunno about that squarish choil though. That doesn’t look like it would be as comfortable as a round one. I dunno though…it would be really cool to have a LE with a logo. I guess it will depend on how much $ I have left after the holidays and how much it costs.

Who knows. We might see ‘em by Xmas after all.
And I dunno about you guys, but I’d like to see some LE pics as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy...
The bowie is calling you...
it is....
i can hear it.....
(andy, andy, andy....)

Andy,

If I can come up with "THE" name, I will loan that one to you till you can get your own. I plan on buying the 2 versions anyway. I am in the process of allocating the funds right now. 1 piece of Infi should cover the pair.

That’s very thoughtful of you, thanks for the offer. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I might be broke for a while. This year all we’re going to get for Xmas is a new cell phone plan and that’s it. That’s why I was really hoping for the Crash Axe and new Howler so I could have something else exciting for Xmas. Right now I have a prepaid Tracfone, and we’re going to get a Cingular family talk plan.

I want to get a nicer phone than the free ones, so most of my money right now will be going there. I was thinking of getting a PDA smartphone with internet access so I could talk to you guys on here when I’m away from home. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Mostly I was hoping I could use it to make more money. A lot of times I’m at an auction or Goodwill or whatever and see something I think might be valuable, but I’m not sure. With that phone, I could quickly search eBay to find the value of something and see if it’s worth purchasing or not. Unlimited internet access is an extra $40 a month, so I’d have to be able to make at least that much extra profit a month to break even.

What I usually do is have to go home and check, but if it’s something really underpriced it’s usually gone by the time I come back. I was hoping this phone would allow me to find out on the spot so I could make more monthly income. But it’s also scary to sign a 2 year contract of an extra $40 a month when eBay is my sole source of income and I never know if I’ll find anything to sell or not. I’m hoping it would pay for itself and then some, giving me more knife money to spend. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I also still have to get a couple small gifts for my parents. They said we weren’t going to do anything for Xmas, but I want to get them something so they have something to open on Xmas. Even though they won’t be getting me anything to open on Xmas. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I dunno if we’ll even have stockings…oh well, at least we have a tree. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy - You're right about needing some pics of the LE, but more important is the pricing for these beauties!!! And the availability!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like it's time to sell more of your "tactical cardboard sheaths", and if nothing else shovel/plow some driveways! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the picture and stats, ScrapYardKnives!

When may we buy this Combat Grade Greatness from you?

Yes, I am also curious about the release date/price/sheath! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

Man, I want one!!! That Bowie is schaweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!

Couldn't agree more!!

I could agree more if I was holding one in my hand!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

At risk of being lynched (if any of you can track me down in good old Blighty...) INFI INFI INFI! INFI Bowie LE please Dan! (Call that one Dan's revenge!)

97

I'm a bit late in the game here but, [censored] that looks cool!!!

Never to late.....it isn't even out yet!

Cant wait to get this one home with me.....tell me she's coming soon!

What is it with you and INFI? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> Go buy a Fusion Battle Mistress from Dan's brother while you still can and then get yourself the Scrapyard Bowie.

Pretty nice, but I am not sure it is in the cards for me. I have just overextended myself a bit with the Busse RK. . . and the Axes, and the FBMLE. . . Too [censored] many awesome choppers, so little cash.

I do believe that I will have to purchase one of these. Perhaps 2 if I can swing it. I am leaning toward the LE if it is not out of my reach.

Rich - I suspect you're going to have a lot of company!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thom its all about res-C and INFI there is no place in my world for micarta! I could buy a FBM today (if Jerry's still making them) but as I would absolutely hate the bloody handle it'd be a bit pointless! Full scale construction is just extra steel in the wrong place that makes for an over heavy knife and gets the balance wrong. So many Busse handle options and it all involves nailing on bits of resiny paper or fabric, doh!! Spec res-C as an option Jerry!!!! My problem with sr77 (and I love my Scrapper...) is that it rusts more than INFI does, corrosion resistance plus res-C does it for me...

Ranting over!!

Paul - After reading all that one would think you want a Res-C/Infi combo! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hmm, you would sort of form that opinion I guess! Just to confirm- I do like sr77 (so I don't get lynched!)... Pity it goes rusty. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

You'll find that's true about everything worth having; neglect causes problems to the strongest substances (relationships, shock steels, mechanical equipment...)

What are you doing to it to Rust it?....I use my LE around the yard quite a bit...dry it off and sheath it...no rust...I rarely oil it. Now my 5160 blades..I left one on the hood of my truck at dusk and with in 2 hours there was rust forming.

I love the Resiprene C handles on the Scrapper 6!! THAT is THE perfect handle material for a knife!! So, I CAN understand the want for INFI & Resiprene C!!!

Living on the isle of Britain, I would suspect that the salty air is a problem that most of us don't have to be concerned with. Extra vigilance and maintenance would definitely be required, as Thom pointed out. Anyone living on a U.S. coast should have the same concern. Of course, that FINE product RENWAX comes from Britain....................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I thought of making sheaths a while back. At the time though, my stabbed hand was still too useless for the task. Now I’m getting a bit better, maybe I could get back to making some. I never did make a M6 sheath for sale, just my own for me. I think it will also fit the Scrapper 6, though I’ve not tried it. With all these great knives coming out at once (Bowie, BM, Crash Axe, Howler) I dunno how much $ people will have left for sheaths. Then again, maybe they’d be so broke they couldn’t afford a more expensive one and would buy one of mine instead. Yeah, that’s the ticket! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Clear driveways? Oh hell no, not with my back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I have scoliosis and snapping scapula syndrome. I wouldn’t last more than a few minutes. Too bad I don’t have a snowblower. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just walking I start hurting after 10-15 mins. 30 mins of walking or more and I need a cane or walking stick. Besides the horrible pain, it causes swelling of my muscles and pushes against my lungs until I can only take like half breaths and I have to push against my muscles with labored breathing just to breath. It feels like I have a weight on my chest when I breath. It’s a major pain in the @$$ that impeads a lot of my nature loving activities. They haven’t yet given me anything strong enough to help it. They gave me Darvocets (which barely do anything) and they were afraid anything stronger would be too dangerous and addictive. And probably cost a fortune since I don’t have insurance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I’ll just have to keep trying to find things to eBay for knife $ I guess. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Paul,

I'm in complete agreement with your reasons. Oh well, I'm still so psyched for this bowie.

Andy - I did not realize that you had back problems! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/footinmouth.gif" alt="" />

With your computer abilities, sounds like eBay and perhaps other computer related work is the answer. In the meantime, Naylor's No-Nonsense Sheaths will help. Good luck!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I am a huge fan of Eric of On/Scene Tactical, and I can not wait until HE gets some Scrap Yard Knives. No offense to you guys here!!! I have looked at your work, and you do some nice work too!!

Thom, no problem mate! The bowie is stunning, but for my corrosion hang-up I'd be thinking of doing a lot more about owning one than posting on the competition! I can't really justify a (n other) chopper and I still want that bowie... it is just too right. This country has relative humidity like Florida on a bad day and cool weather like Alaska on a bad day! Plastic goes rusty over here... That's why Land-Rovers are Ali-alloy and rivet and bolt together! (Pity they break down so often...)

I really wasn't trying to dis the sr77 bowie, it rocks!

Andy sorry to hear about your back problems! That sucks... It speaks very well of your character that you are still so positive. I think Thom is right about your future employment though you are Mr. Web-head!

Paul - are you trying to say that Andy has cob-webs in his head ?!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

the BOWIE is hEre???????? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Paul and Andy - I left the door wide open for postings with my "cob-web" comment - just trying to help your counts!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So when's the Bowie shipping? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good question Thom - along with "what's the cost"?!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

The cost of not having one is too great for that detail to really matter.

Some of us just need to know if we should prepare for "sticker shock"!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Klink....you want sticker shock?? wait till ya see how much I am going to charge for the SHEATH!!!!


Normark is TOPS in kydex!! And is a hell of a guy to chat with!! HIGHLY recommend tha guy!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Good one Dave! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Very decent of you to praise another sheathmaker - you're BOTH a class act!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Any word yet on when the new bowie will be available?

No word on availability or price yet Luckee. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> On a lighter note:

POST #2000 !!! WOO-HOO!!! A DOUBLE JUNK YARD DOG !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now I can legally DOUBLE-DOG DARE !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congrats PK. Only 1,982 more for me

Thanks Luckee! And don't fret - you'll get there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Head? No. Wallet? Yes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I would like to see more of a false edge at the tip to cut with a reverse slash... but if the price i right I will get her and add it myself...

Ironballs - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! It's a great time to be here - with the Scrapper models already out and hopefully the Bowie soon! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I feel the same way TKC! the ResipreneC is the schizzle... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Wow I got behind on this thread after a day or so off! Andy my wallet is like yours... Just a few sad old receipts and a WELL used credit card! PK respect for the double dog status- awesome work... Ironballs welcome to the yard! IMO a double edge would make for a great fighting bowie, but I think (hope?) most of us would use the bowie as a back-woods tool rather than a combat weapon so the second edge would just limit batoning.. I think you are right in saying you could put a second edge on it- but would that take time with a file!!

Andy wouldn't be so much of a web-head if he spent less time chasing Hobbits down dark tunnels on long and twisty stairs!

Well Paul, I guess that's how Andy continues to be a fountain of information, erupting with facts and interesting oddities as regular as "Old Faithful"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep, he really does seem to be the fountain- especially of his uber cool comedy pictures...

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

[color:"red"][Edited for inappropriate content. Trash.][/color]

Hi I'm a newbie and I was wondering what the hell does infi mean thanks

Joebobz - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! Infi refers to the special steel that Jerry Busse uses in his knives. I'm no metallurgist, but Infi is supposedly more rust-resistant (slightly) than SR77 steel. You can't lose with either one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, here it is in a nutshell...It is what you want a knife made from! And SR-77, but this is what is said about Infi:

INFI is a proprietary steel and heat-treat protocol developed by Busse Combat Knife Co. It is ONLY available through Busse Combat.

Some facts and info about INFI.

Hardness
Although hardened INFI knives are 58-60 Rc we have yet been able to chip an edge. The edge can be dented or misaligned but its high level of malleability at such high hardness has never been duplicated by any other steel that we are aware of or have tested.

Flexibility
In one of our performance tests, we bend a Battle Mistress 35 degrees in a vise and it springs back to true. Why would we do this? What does it prove? What is the benefit to the customer? Not only does this test demonstrate the enormous toughness and lateral strength of an INFI blade but, because our hardness is homogenous and not differential, it demonstrates the amount of lateral strength and "spring" of INFI all the way to the edge. That means that edge of the blade will possess this same toughness. INFI is the only knife steel ever tested that has achieved such high levels of lateral strength with a homogenous hardness of 58 - 60 Rc. No other steel has even neared this performance level.

Edge Retention
Many so-called knife experts have heralded the "wear resistance" of a steel as the key to edge retention. This may very well be true if a knife is designed and intended for the cutting of soft materials ONLY. However, we have never inspected a dull knife and found the edge to be perfectly smoothed away, like a ball bearing. Instead what we find are microscopic chips where the edge has broken or chipped away like glass after having impacted against bone, gravel, or other hard surfaces. This micro chipping dictates that the edge be reground during the resharpening process, which will ultimately lead to a thicker edge and a radical change in overall blade shape. Steels with high wear resistance normally score fairly low in shock resistance, lateral strength, and overall toughness. INFI scores very high in ALL of these categories.

Sharpening
INFI's high level of chip resistance also makes it the easiest steel to resharpen by hand that we have ever encountered. I personally fall into the category of "hand sharpening challenged". I've heard tales of those who can sharpen ball peen hammers to a razor's edge on an Arkansas stone in less than 5 seconds flat. My experiences have always been to the contrary. The spine of the knife is usually sharper than the edge when I'm finished applying my magic stone sharpening technique. One of the great features of INFI is that simply stropping away from the edge (the way a barber strops a straight edged razor) on a ceramic stick is basically all that is required to resharpen INFI. Since you're not chipping steel off the edge there is no need to grind any steel away. This feature of INFI will, likewise, allow you to keep the same overall profile of the knife for a much greater period of time.

How does INFI compare to other steels?
Simple question, complex answer. INFI represents what I have always dreamed of in a knife steel. Tougher, by an enormous margin, than any other steel I've ever tested. Unparalleled edge holding under high impact and in cutting tests. Shock resistance that begs you to "bring it on". An ease of re-sharpening that you have to see to believe and higher levels of lateral strength at high hardness than have ever been achieved by any other steel. We have published our test results and our testing methodology. We have video taped all of these tests and play the video at the knife shows we attend. More importantly, we have duplicated these performance tests in "LIVE" demonstrations at many trade shows throughout the United States. We encourage all manufacturers to put their products through our tests and to publish their results. If you want to know how another maker's knife will compare to a Busse Combat knife, ask the other maker to duplicate our tests in a "live" demo.

Is INFI stainless?
Not supposed to be. However, INFI has demonstrated very high levels of stain resistance in many different climates. Uncoated blades have been tested for years in Alaska and have made their way into the wilds of British Columbia, the High Sierras and tropical rain forests. No rust in Alaska or British Columbia! No rust in the High Sierras, even when exposed to great quantities of blood and left in the wet grass overnight. The tropical rain forest, which has been known to rust plastic (just kidding), did offer the toughest of the environmental exposures and a light speckling of surface oxidation did occur but was easily removed in the field with a hand rubbing of sand and water. No deep pitting was reported. When compared to other cutlery steels in salt spray tests, INFI faired better than ATS-34 and D-2. Although all three grades exhibited surface oxidation, the INFI was not deeply pitted as was common in these other two grades. So, although INFI is not technically a stainless steel, it is certainly not a rust aggressive steel. Couple this with a minimal amount of care and you've got a fairly maintenance free knife.

With a steel like INFI it's easy to understand why we offer the toughest guarantee in the business. We guarantee against any and all unintentional MAJOR damage forever.

Jerry Busse

Wow GF your knowledge of INFI is encyclopaedic!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Andy there aren't words to describe that picture properly, but if there were they'd be similar to- I nearly fell off my chair laughing... Well done!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That's our Andy!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

WOW, that was a GREAT read on INFI. THANKS a bunch.

Now a few more yard hounds probably want INFI as well as sr77 off Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Ya' think ?!!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

well, i will get one for sure...

I was thinking of the FBM, but at $387 i would not play with it the way i would the Bowie (no guilt of depreciation)... plus, having had micarta and Resiprene C, I will take ResC for any type of chopper imo, its great stuff.

Hell YES I want INFI!!!

Ironballs you talk a lot of sense!!! You just can't beat res-C, period. TKC res-C plus INFI is just plain awesome! Bring it on Dan!

This Bowie trumps just about everything.....this is how it makes me feel!!! A true Junk Yard Dog!

[color:"red"][Edited for inappropriate content.][/color]

Please let me know if anyone is offended...I will remove it ...but it is nature....sort of!

heheheh yeah that somethin' special there Gravelface! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Rather than offending me, you made my crappy day a little better! thanks man! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

dhehehahahaahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!

Funny stuff bro!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ok…I don’t get it. I post a G or PG comedy pic of a guy fully clothed posing in front of a fountain with the water appearing to be coming from his rear, (only as a joke because it referenced what was being discussed) and my pic is yanked and called “inappropriate” and “trash”, but RF can post a super-imposed pic of a male Busse employee appearing as a cross dressing stripper, and GF can post a pic of inter-species “mating” and you don’t yank their pics? WTF? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Not that I care about them posting their pics, (I thought they were funny like most people) but it seems your being a little unfair with the moderation. I don’t think there was anything inappropriate about my pic. Yes, it was juvenile, but nothing that would be harmful to children to see or anything like that. You can certainly see and hear much worse on standard tv. There was no nudity, language, or anything like that. At most, it could be considered rude or juvenile.

At first I thought maybe you hadn’t seen their posts yet, but it’s been a full day, and their pics are still up, and I see you’ve posted recently so you’ve been on here. My pic sure didn’t stay up that long. I feel like you’re unfairly coming down hard on me, perhaps because of past postings. You asked us to keep the children in mind, which I have. I have not since posted anything that I believe would be inappropriate for children to see. As I was searching through my pics, I passed up several other pics I could have posted because I thought you might think they were inappropriate (PG or PG-13 equivalent) but I don’t think there was anything wrong with the pic I posted.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel as though I’m being unfairly singled out here? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Hi Andy,

I have no intention to single anyone out and I'm sorry if you feel I have. Please be assured that picture would have been edited as inappropriate regardless of who posted it. Also, I have returned to edit one picture that you mention. Thank you for pointing out my error.

Lastly, I've been signing my edits as Trash. I can see how that could be interpreted as an insult and I will avoid that signature future edits.

Feel free to email me at trashcan@scrapyardknives.com if you want to discuss this further.

This bowie is a beautiful thang.

I'm soooooo glad you guys have elected to bring out a BIG Blade as your next offering.

After receiving and being impressed by my Scrapper 6, there is no doubt I will be ordering one.
In fact I'd like to try and make sure I have funds avaialable for more than one.

Any chance of a rough price guide and shipping date (or date where you think you might be taking orders)?

P.S.

I have a question about the choil.

Is the squarish choil just an aesthetic thing or does that shape have a functional purpose behind it?

Just curious.

Hey Dave, u might as well count me in for a Kydex for the big LeBowiesquie.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I'm willing to buy it with a severed toe.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ahh Brian...U KNOW how I love your money!!!

severed toe?? hmm might wanna be thinking foot bro <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

LF insist that any body parts removed as payment get Scrappered off! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I wondered the same thing. I thought perhaps they’re trying to differentiate themselves from SR and Busse by coming up with their own slightly different design. I don’t think it would be as comfortable though, because the finger is round.

The square-ish intersection between edge and choil is sort of traditional isn't it? I always choke back on my Scrapper choil keeping away from the sharp edge so I figure the bowie choil (which seems round toward the grip) would be nice and comfy still.. I just looked at the picture again, that knife will be choil heaven- a nice curved choil and thumb ramp, nice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like a plan!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It would be 'yard' wouldn't it?

The only thing that ever offended me on this forum was the harshness of the censorship. Not to sound like a sissy, but it sort of hurts my feelings when one person lashes out at another's sense of judgement or ability to post in a socially dignified manner. I have basically kept posting the same way i always have -- i just do it places where i don't get harshly castigated... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Christmas bump...
as visions of Sugar Bowies dance in my head..

LOL to sugar bowies dancing in your head!!

Hi sr77dogg,

I'm not sure I understand where anyone has been lashed out at or harshly censored. If you have any specific situations, please let me know and we can discuss them. Offending pictures have been edited out without much fuss on my part, IMO, but perhaps that technique is a bit impersonal.

I can continue to work on my moderation style to make it less abrupt and I will. In return I ask that you please be patient and understand that if a post is edited, we simply ask that you learn from it and not post the same content again.

But you have to admit it was a funny picture!

I thought it was funnny!!!!

I can concede that much. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

THAT is TOOOOOOOO funny for words!!

Classic Andy post.. Andy you always cheer the place up!

Yep - an "oldie but goody". Andy's done it again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

You know this thread was called 'Here's The New Scrap Yard Bowie'.. So were the heck is it? Great minds ponder this question... and me and the BCAA! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That was a tease, wasn't it!!

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

[color:"green"] That Bowie ROCKS!![/color]

But when will it dig it's way under the yard fence and makes it's bid for freedom with us dog lovers??

[color:"green"] Yeah, what he said. [/color]

I thought I was almost poetic with that analogy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

First, this needs to stay on page-1.

Second, I keep looking at the Bowie. If the price stays Scrapyard-low, I might be forced to buy one only as an uber-machete. Sure it'll be a bunch more than my Cold Steel bolo. But it'll have that cool Res-C handle and be a whole lot harder to beat. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

OK, I'm in. Bring on the Bowie. (And wehre's my Scrapper-4's??? Stupid PO!)

In about 2 weeks...I told you it would be good

Dan

Can you make sure it's after the 20th? My birthday is on the 20th and I should have some birthday cash to blow on the bowie. Man that new fishing pole keeps getting pushed back and back and back.





Peace
Jerry

I'll see what I can do. It's good to know that I am in good company for a birthday in January

Dan

Dan - Let's ALL celebrate birthdays for you, TKC, and Jerry by getting a new Bowie!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Of course, you need to start selling them first! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I like it.

Maybe we should have a black bowie tie party... ha ha,,,sorry I could help myself! Seriously, I do plan on having a glass of Woodford Reserve the day we put the Dog Father up for sale to celebrate this and our birthdays.

Cheers
Dan

Sounds good to me; I'm sure many of us will be with you "in spirits"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Jan is also my parents anniversary. This one will be their 30th actually. And no, I won't buy them a bowie for their anniversary present. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> If I can't afford one for ME they sure aren't gonna get one. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That's my kinda thinking. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

So when we gonna be able to order there?????????????????

January is a Busy month...Brother in law Birthday, Best friend Birthday, Both Mother and Father's Birthday...and I have to pay for this semester this month also...might have to sell a few blades.....but anyway you cast the dice. I am getting 1 of each!

Have we heard LE pricing yet?

Nope.

CG is soooooo cost effective!

Very true Paul! However, having bought both models of the Scrapper, I have to say that the LE version is a thing of beauty. My recommendation - buy BOTH!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

January does seem.. different. Can even feel it with the prices on the Exchange.
I think it's a combination of recovering from holidays, property taxes, mucky weather, having to go back to work, etc.

But shortly after that...

Springtime, tax refunds, biking weather.. it all comes back around <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Tony - Receiving a new DogFather in the mail will make Spring seem a lot closer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

bump, this thread can't be on page two till release.

Agreed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

oy, there it goes again. i guess the dog father specs thread is sufficient but i figure more bowie threads up front = more fun.

I dunno if I am going to be able to buy the Bowie.

Stop the maddness.

to be honest, me niether, but i like to think of it this way: if i must have a big black bowie, i'd hate to settle for the $40 1085 taiwanese model.

does that mean anything? absolutely not, but it helps to make believe it does. beside that, for each dollar, i don't think you can do better. i'm pretty sure this thing'll take more impact than can be withstood by two beckers or four kabars. in that vein, does a battle mistress withstand more than three dog father's can? dialectical questions....

The FBM may not be as tough as three Dogs but it won't go rusty.. If you live in the desert Dan makes the only big knife you'll ever need!

yup. a big part of me wants to call it quits after this. we'll see.

I think the FBM is at most 10% better than the Dogfather and that is in edge retention and corrosion resistance mostly. As far as impact resistance and springyness the dog is probably very close to the FBM. I like the RES C handle much better as well. Rust is not a big a deal on a coated knife.
I am really looking forward to the bowie as I don't have one and have always wanted one.

I'm using birthday money for the bowie. I had it targeted at a new fishing pole. However, that'll have to wait.

At least the Dog is cheap enough to really use... I just couldn't abuse a FBM due to cost even if I liked micarta and would buy one.

I forgot if this has been answered, so: Any word on factory sheaths for the Dogfather? Dan? Anybody?

FACTORY SHEATHS!!!

WHAT???

HUH???

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

Ha ha ha, my bad, Leatherface. Sometimes, when you're low on cash, you've gotta cut corners on the smaller things... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

Dude I am the KING of low cash

that is why I want YOURS!!!!!


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

Unsub,
yep.. the Dog Father is going to be my Fix. in place of FBM & Battle Rat.. don't have either of those <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

i've yet to see a broken battle mistress. i am gonna beat the livin snot out of this bowie as long and often as i can. i will pry open a bank vault. i will whack the spine with triple ought flyin out the muzzle end. i will chop infi.

as if.

Magnum22,
hmm.. sounds quite Therapeutic actually...
..i'm gonna try to deduct mine as a medical expense <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I will be getting a Leatherface sheath, if I am able to get the Bowie!!

ditto

my birthday's today.

bring it.

if ya gotta wait, do it AFTER the 20th. i'm going to be in nashville the night of the 20th for a hockey game, so i won't be in front of the computer waiting for the sweet SR-77 release...

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

Happy Birthday Havarti Hank !!

I rooting for it tonight!!!! Lets get this Dog out!!!!

Dan,

it's OK to release the bowie now. I've been receiving birthday cash in the mail. I can now afford to purchase a bowie out my my own personal cash stash. It's OK I won't get in trouble with the wife.




Bring on the Bowie

Jerry

Yeah, yeah....what Jerry said!

Hell yeah !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah,,,What I said!

bring it, gang!

if that's cool with you, that is. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

need to pick up a birthday knife anyway. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Let me know how that deduction works...I have been under Theraputic care for some time

Dan

Hmmmm..... deduct it as a medical expense!! That is a new one!!! I like that!!

Make an INFI DF and I'll run it by Bupa! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Actually any big INFI will do!

It's Bowie Time!!!!!!!!!

Soooooooooon...

bring it!!!

Yea bring it!!!

Has it been brought yet?!

No love from Dan yet ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

what do you call the ss4 and the s6?

Appitizers?

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

I'd call the SS4 the best little EDC out there and the S6 a great general carry in a tin-worm prone kind of way! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> You've done it again Paul - "a tin worm prone kind of way"? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

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

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

I ...never...would have put that together Paul!!!

NP, as a phrase it tends to be used in relation to used cars... 'It runs ok but it's got tin-worm in the wings'.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

wings? doors?

The exterior bodywork panel over a wheel are called 'wings' over here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wouldn't it count as exercise equipment? For medical use to help fight obesity, increase cardiovascular health, and increase lung strength and capacity. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

good ideas.. we'll see how it goes..
as a back-up i was gonna declare my Dog Father as a "smoking cessation device" to help deal with nicotine withdrawal. I think my HMO might actually cover that!
