WhereThe Heck Is Dan & Picture of Next Offering

I want to let you Dogs know that everything is ok and I appreciate the emails and concerns about my whereabouts.

I have spent a large amount of time in Ohio. Boss HOG added another building to his manaufacturing compound, leaving me access to his warehouse in the process. There is no way that I was going to miss out on such an opportunity.

While they were moving materials I was on the hunt and I found, discovered and dug up some really amazing stuff and it will be incorporated into our future offerings.

Speaking of offerings, here is the next knife to be released
.....................................................................
Drum roll please.........................



Specifications:

Dumpster Mutt LE
Full Height Flat Grind
.250 (1/4") thick
Satin Finished by hand

Comparison to the Dumpster Mutt Combat Grade
Saber Ground 2/3rd height
.280 Thick

This will be a limited run. As always, I will provide a heads-up notices as well as the pricing.

I hope you find your wait worth while

Dan

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

Looks great Boss! Sign me up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It only seem right that we immortalize the Dumpster Mutt

Dan

I am going to have to find something else interesting to test this one on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

hurray hurray, Dan is BACK and steel is incoming!

I like it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Very Cool!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Nice shiney Mutt with logo! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Dan, it's good hear from you and I can't wait to hear more details! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah and I found a bunch of shiney stuff too

Dan

so Dan do youy fly or drive to OH when you go?

Mighty fine!

YES!!!!!!!!!!

I think he drives. The amount of steel he transports would be too heavy to ship by air! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Might even outweigh the plane...

Yah I can see a 1 ton pick up about 3 inches off the ground slowly pluging its way down to Texas.

Dan - great to hear from you, and with such a nice offering! I just want to let you know - I'M READY FOR THE DOGFATHER LE !!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

The Dog Father LE...my personal challenge I suppose! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Woo Hoo!!

I don't know about a personal challenge, but the DogFather LE would sure make this Dog howl!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> And a lot other Dogs as well!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Good point...we do need some howling

Dan

No Tom you only get a free CG not a free LE too. hehehehe.

Nice looking knife Dan. I really like it.

OK Dan - I DOUBLE-DOG DARE you to release the DogFather LE!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

sick knife.

Woohoo! Just tallied up the old credit card and it can handle one more hit this month Dan.

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

Dumpster Dan - MRS. Private Klink here - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE release the DogFather LE! PLEASE -for the sake of a fellow human being - my sanity is at stake here! PLEASE<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> ...oh, the humanity......Sherrie ( MRS. Private Klink ) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It starts with D and ends with LE and no one even came close to guessing it.
Ever since the YKLE and the original Mutt came out I said that the Mutt would be perfect with a full height grind and lo and behold here it is.

As much as I love the big choppers it is the heavy duty EDC knives that are the ones that are the most useful.


Thanks Dan

Unsub - you may be right about the EDC; however, Dan promised the DogFather LE a LONG time ago! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Dan - I TRIPLE-DOG DARE you to release the DogFather LE!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I feel your pain Klinkster, I SOLD my DF in a moment of weakness thinking I would just pick up a DFLE with what I got for the CG. I have come to regret that decision!

Dan do YKLE sheaths fit the new DMLE?

This is a great time to come out with an new knife as the canadian dollar is now dead even with the US dollar for the first time in my lifetime. It is like the price of every knife in the world just dropped 15% for Cold One ,Bramel Pitman ,Cablemomkey and I as well as every other canuk.

"I will take it!"
one or five depends on price...

I like!! Sign me up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Sweet - glad to have you back Dan - and with food for us none-the-less!

Sorry guys, maxed out my credit line but they are all purchased! WD, you want to photoshop the scrooge mcduck vault to be full of Mutt LEs? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sweet! I like it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Bring on BOTH LE's!

Sounds good to me!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Gosh darn it Dan.. we sure have missed you. "silent tear runs down right cheek"

Seems like forever since we heard from you and had a blade to get excited about. Thank you so much for working your butt off to bring us the Mutt LE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I love my SS-4 due to the EDC ease of carry, but truth be told I wear the Mutt at work and on the Sunday walks in the forest. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

It is so perfectly balanced that I find myself reaching for it all the time!

I know we are all thrilled to see you post again and even happier to hear that your hard work will pay off in Yard Knives not just Military overruns.

The Mutt LE, great choice!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The Howler...my 3 inch dream come true!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Dog Father LE....EVERY dogs dream come true! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Do you realize that if/when the Dog Father LE comes out to The Yard for sale that EVERY DOG will want at least one?
Hogs will be snapping them up 10 at a time for the secondary market."Frowns"

That model I believe will be the biggest selling blade ever for The Yard..excluding the Military stuff.

Thanks for the Dog food Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

We have missed our fearless leader to say the least. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Welcome home Dad. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

Me likey too! Welcome back Boss Dog!

If the price is right (>120$) I will definitely pick one up!

Welcome back Dan!!!!!! That is one nice knife!!!! Thanks for posting it!!!

Nice to here from you Dan, Nice knife.....

I so wish I had a bit more self control and hadn't blew my knife fund
maybe some day I will learn to wait for what I want

you are waiting for what you want, just a little bit longer than originally anticipated. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It never helps me too much to wait too long, something always seams to drain the funds one way or the other anyway... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Same here. If it's not knives, it's outdoor gear, climing rope, Jeep parts or the first priority family stuff.

I am sure what will happen is he will release this new DMLE and I will end up buying one cause I have been chomping at the bit to get my hands on a Scrapyard, then shortly thereafter he will release the DFLE and I will be broke <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> I wish they came at the same time. I also think Dan should make it to where you can only buy one of these blades per person to give everyone a chance and limit the aftermarket price gouging <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

believe it or not I am very disappointed. I like the performance proce ratio and the le ruins it for me. I woiuld have boughten any non le knife, skelly, S7, yard keeper, or whatever but it is nice to hear from dan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They are still very desirable blades!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know, promised myself not to buy more knives but then it is a DM + LE, Maybe I'll make an exception.

I do like that logo

You can only get that great logo from Scrap Yard!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looks great! I thought we heard the old Busse Combat handles were used up on DMCG run?

It's just too hard to resist... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I don't need a DMLE, heck I've got a DM and a Sage DM from Blade West, but I'm gettin a DMLE too, if nothing else, so far it seams like a pretty good investment.

I'll take 2. I love the DM.

Looks like Dan did some digging and found more. Looks great indeed!

The flat ground DM should be a bit lighter and quicker. Can't wait.

Nice and shiny! Welcome back Dan! It'll be interesting to see how things develop in the yard after your rummage at Jerry's..

Well I like it. Saves a lot of time at the old buffer and belt sander. It looks very useful to me. That wide blade with a full flat grind should slice and cut just fine, like the S6.

Must be, but am I the only one who remembers hearing that?

SJ - he did say that at the original DM release - and said it would "never" be made again - so a bunch of us had said "an LE would be a different knife!" - looks like that wish came true. Dan did say that he'd used the last of the Basic handles though.

No wonder we haven't heard from Dan in a while,...he's been digging Deep! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

No tellin' what else he'll come up with now... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

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

A little suspicious, but oh well.

Well if Dan just raided the pig pen again perhaps he found Jerry's secret stash for handle warranty claims..

perhaps so, perhaps so

I hope he found some other cool stuff like some infi perhaps?

I did not like the DM at all but this new one has fixed everything I did not like which was mostly the blade geometry. Some people with big hands will have a hard time if they are the same tiny Basic handles.

I will get one or 5 depending on price. Actually I will almost certainly get at least 5.

So that's where he's been all this time... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That is oohhh so nice!

Nice, but not the DogFather LE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Has anyone noticed that the Ratmandu is a reworked Dumpster Mutt? The Mutt is thicker. The choil and tang is different. The Rat lacks a penetrator tip. But the blade shape and saber grind look identical to me.

The functional difference is that the Ratmandu can slice. The Mutt is too thick for efficient cutting. It does have its place. I keep a Mutt in my urban emergency bag. As a compact entry tool and pry-bar that happens to have an edge, the Mutt is great. If a knife is first and foremost a cutting instrument, the Mutt leaves a lot to be desired.

The Dumpster Mutt LE may be an acceptable compromise. With a full height grind and “only” a ¼” thickness, it is certain to out cut the Classic Mutt. I hope it will match the Ratmandu. But the proof of the pudding is in the cutting.

Agreed, Tom!

Yes, indeed. The DF LE!

As much as I am looking forward to the DFLE, I am very happy just to have some new Scrap Yard steel coming down the pipeline! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Like many in this thread, I bought RatManDus (in my case, five of them because I missed the initial DM release, and secondary market prices were about the same as a new Rat). I've also said before that in general, I believe SR101 steel and thinner blades are superior to thick SR77 for short blades (< 6"). However, as others have said, I think that the full-height grind will make the DMLE a pretty good slicer and it's a great looking knife.

I suppose that, the price will determine how many I buy, but I'll want at least one anyway (I tend to buy in quantities of three, so that's what will probably happen). It's been surprising to me that the general tone about the DMLE seems largely negative. I know that many, including myself, had gotten expectations up about a DFLE, but I still plan to support the Scrap Yard. Remember, if you don't support the yard, then the terrorists win.

Me Too!

I especially like that it's shiney and has that logo on it too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I really like the logo, I wish it could be on all SYKCO's knives... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I know it's not an important part of the knife, but it just adds something special... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I've been catching up on the posts. I honestly like this new Mutt better than the original. Depending on the price, I may or may not get one, since I have a DM and two RMDs. I think this is a beautiful knife.

I think the new Mutt is just the YKLE with Busse Basic handles and bigger choils. It kind of annoys me that now the supposedly very exclusive Blade show knife is now the new Mutt. I am pleased that Dan fixed the horrible obtuse edge on the Mutt
but I don't see why he would bother making an LE version unless he had a bunch of left over YKLE blades.

Handle is a downer for me too Bruce - I'd like to see a Mutt w/ a full size grip. This one will cut better, but since I have 2 Mutts, I'll likely hold off. Or I could send one to the 3rd World Grind Shop and have one w/out the logo <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> (Incoming Vic!!)

Good call Bruce - I think my "original" wish when I got my Mutt was for one with a full size handle and scaled up proportionately (inch longer blade, 1/4 in deeper belly...)

I'm looking forward to the DMLE, it looks very nice.

Me too, this is (almost)exactly what I was hoping would be the next release. I hope I can get to one in time. Any ideas on how soon this will be up for sale? Less than 30?

I'd guess that it'll be this Friday/Saturday or the next.

Wouldn't be surprised if we get our 48 hour notice yet tonight...

I missed out on the DM origina, so this might be a cool opportunity for me!
I really like the LE versions of our blades.

they're not stout, just full-figured. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

man am i getting excited for the release... I think Dan is gonna really 'bring it' very soon.

looks like we have a bunch of things looming on the horizon...

Dumpster Mutt LE
Dogfather LE

plus sage/tan/colored etc. versions of: Hook-S6-Mutt-Keeper

-Personally, I am going for 2 DMutt LE's, and maybe 1 Dofgather LE

I am going to be really bummed if they release those tan M6's anytime soon. I have been wanting one of those and finally bit the bullet and grabbed a black one off the exchange. I am pumped up the DFLE though, I will jump on that one.

Tan S6? Niiiice... want one! (Grey blade though!)

Now that is a pipe dream, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I agree about some of the above remarks about the handle size. I am not so concerned about whether the handles were supposed to have been gone or not. But, I feel the original DM's handle just felt a tad too small. Laid on top of the Yard Keeper or Res-C Howler grips, the Basic grip has the same dimensions and size, but it must be contoured and shaped a tad different because it sure feels a tad smaller - and the Yard Keeper / Res-C Howler were a little small for me. I tend to struggle with large gloves and usually need XL gloves.
However, the larger Res-C grip like on the Yard Guard / Camp Tramp / S6 / etc. I think would be too big for the DM.

A term I use a lot is "Grip Area". I define the grip area as the area between the two peaks at the belly of the handle.

On the larger Res-C handle, I measure about: 4.125"
On the smaller Res-C handles, I would say about: 3.625"

There is a half inch difference which is a big difference when it comes to knife handles.

The large one is great. I have never heard anyone complain about it's size.

The smaller one would do very well with just 0.125" more. 1/8" doesn't seem like much, but it is significant in a knife handle.

So, like 3.75" for the small Res-C handles.

I keep contimplating taking my Dremel to one of my small Res-C handles to see if I can reshape it. But, I am concerned I may make a mess with it (???).

+2 - No tan Basic handles to my knowledge!

Dan always seemed to want to stay with simple and black. But, didn't some of the Blade West knives have some color?

Personally, in regards to Res-C, I don't like tan.

...... And I ALWAYS prefer a satin blade. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


With mica^+a (got to watch my language <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ), I like tan quite a bit. But, DEFINITELY with satin blades then!
Same with sage. But, I like tan more than sage.

As much as I don't care for black coated blades, I really don't like tan, gray or sage coated blades <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> . But, to each their own.

.

Since I have three Ratmandu's and since I still don't have a DF since I have been waiting and holding out for a DFLE, I don't know how excited I am about the DMLE.
I love the RMD. And I actually sometimes prefer Mica^+a over Res-C.
But, I am sure I will have to have at least one DMLE - I love satin LE'S. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

But also, if there is one thing I would change about the RMD, it would be to make the handle lighter. ...... Not that the RMD feels too handle heavy. But, I just would prefer the handle to be a little lighter. I love the shape and feel of the RMD and HRLM handle. Basic Res-C handles are not as nice to me as those two except in weight.
I have suggested skeletonizing the micarta handles. I personally think this would put many of the smaller to mid-sized Swamp Rat knives in a nicer/higher league of knife.

See the following link for my ideas: Concept Rats!!! - Rat Jack & Bog Dog II

But, that is more of a Swamp Rat forum topic.... (???).

--------

Anyway, am I the only one who noticed something in Dan's picture of the DMLE that I don't think I have seen anyone comment on...... If I am right, I think I really like it! (???) But, I think it may just be an illusion.

In the picture, it appears that the DMLE has a ZERO grind!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />






But, Dan didn't mention it in the description. I would think he would have mentioned it if it were true. A full flat zero grind is not easy to do on a full flat grind. - Actually probably fairly hard.

.....And of course hard for anybody else to sharpen and keep full flat. I think I would be interested to try. I am sure it would start to convex over time, but I like convex, so starting of full flat and becoming convex wouldn't bother me. It would probably be an EXTREME slicer if you could keep it sharp (???).
But, in addition to being harder to make, the edge strength wouldn't be as strong. Jerry's knife edges are usually VERY obtuse. This would be an extreme polar opposite for edges. So, I am fairly dubious it is what I am talking about (???).

This may just all be an optical illusion or just an unsharpened proto (??????) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.


---------

It appears the choil is better than the original DM, but I still would prefer it to be even higher and more inline with the index finger recess in the main grip and I wish they would bring that choil in closer to the handle and add a little more blade edge..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> ( - .... more like the Bog Dog and SS4!)

.

I don't have the older straight handled Satin Jack and my SJTAC is quite a bit different. But, I do have the SR Desert Jack which is basically the Swamp Rat version of the straight handled Satin Jack. The Desert Jack has a more curvy handle, so may not weight exactly the same. And it is possible that the blade thicknesses may be different between the Straight handled Satin Jack and the Desert Jack (????)

But, here are some specs:

Desert Jack (stripped).= 10.0 ounces; .175” thick; 6.0” blade; 11.25” oal
Ratmandu (G10).........= 11.0 ounces; .190" thick; 5.3125" blade; 10.5" oal
Ratmandu (micarta)....= 10.0 ounces; .190" thick; 5.3125" blade; 10.5" oal
DM....................= 9.0 ounces; .268" thick; 5.25" blade; 9.75" oal

The blade thickness of my Desert Jack is thinner. Plus, the handle height is less. I am sure these two factors pretty much account for the 6" bladed Desert Jack weighing the same as the 5.3125" bladed RMD.

Again, I don't feel that the handle weight is a big issue in the case of the RMD and HRLM. I just feel it would be a little better if they skeletonized the tang.
Personally, I do not like the excessively heavy handle on the M6. With much larger blades like say a Rat Mastiff, the handle weight of the M6 might be OK. But, I think the balance of the S6 is WAY better than the M6. To me, the M6 REALLY neads something done to the weight of the handle. Maybe it's just me (???).

I like the handle shape of the RMD a LOT. I would NOT want to change the shape of the handle. I would actually like to see it more often! So, skeletonizing is the probably the best option I know of.
A tapered tang would also reduce weight as a second option. But, I think skeletonizing might be better.

The RMD is pretty much the same blade as the MASSIVELY thick DM. But, notice the RMD weighs more. The difference in oal is due to the tiny little handle on the massively thick DM.

The DM weighs a LOT in the blade. And considering the DM is NOT a chopper, it is probably too blade heavy. The DMLE would likely be a big improvement.
But, to me, the RMD is a much nicer knife than the DM for my uses. But, there is something cool and unique about overly thick and chunky DM.


.

BLD522, are you sure the blade shape is different? I have no experience with the original DM, but a saber grind can break up the appearance of breadth, due to the additional lines it creates along the length of the blade. The visual separation between the CG finish and that shiny, sharpened edge can also change the look of proportion on an otherwise identical shape, for the same reasons. I imagine if you take out the saber grind and blend its shiny edge back into the now Satin body, then angle the camera right (which means a schewed image from the angle AND possibly from a change in proportions which occasionally seems to happen in digital photos) the blade shape can seem quite different than the Original DM on the main page. To me a Satin Finish vs. the same CG always looks broader.

As an example, the Scrapper 6 looks different enough to me in these photos, and the first one isn't angled to the extreme that the DMLE shot is.







I've seen straight profile shot where a satin S6 is sitting next to an ASH and the S6 looks way more broad bellied than the first photo above, but I can't find the url.

Anyway, I hope I'm wrong. I love the way that DMLE looks in Dumpster Dan's announcement photo. It looks like a mini Camp Tramp, and I love the profile of that Camp Tramp knife!

Anyone want to venture a guess as to whether we'll see another round of Urban Mutts (I think that's what you guys were calling those overruns from Blade West)? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

There was just one urban keeper at the show. Wonder if we will ever see more.

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

Oops. Turns out the confusion was all mine. I need to read through these a little slower...

Bump

There were many Urban Mutts at Blade West (at least 4). I got one. I like the handle alot better than the DM Basic-3 handle (The UM has a Howling Rat Res-c handle.)
Ron Athay

There were several Urban Mutts at Blade West. I got one late Friday. I like the handle better than the DM Handle (Howling Rat Res-c handle versus the Basic-3 Handle, slightly larger).
Ron Athay

we're still waiting for those pictures, Ron. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

and Dan, I think the dogs might be getting just a little bit restless...

I have never learned how to have a picture hosted somewhere else.
Ron Athay

you can host at imageshack.us, and I think flickr.com. I'm sure one of the dogs with a bit more experience than myself will chime in shortly, and it'd be nice to see your recent additions.

I am not even very good at posting. My first post told me I took too long and dumped it. But there it is.
Ron Athay

not being good at posting never stopped me, and most of the rest of the internet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> don't worry about it too much, just relax and have fun.

Question,
I notice several posters have pictures in their posting. I know how to do that on BF and KF, but I do not see how on this forum?
Ron athay

I still haven't figured that one out for myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> if I do I'll let you know.

[img]url or link[/img]

no spaces make sure to havethe slach (/) on the second [image]

I think I like those handles better too, that's why I was asking. I picked up a CG Mutt on the exchange so I don't know if I actually NEED a LE version. But if I thought one of those Urban Mutts was going to show up sometime soon, I'd wait for one.

I thought this should be moved up, in case anyone missed it.

Hey Dan, a price would be really great, if it's no trouble. I'm trying to figure out how many I can buy without the wife noticing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

you mean how many you can buy with her still being willing to pretend like she hasn't noticed, right? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Iv'e been putting off asking this but what does the CG stand for ?

CG = Combat Grade, if I'm not mistaken... In other words max utility without the flourish.

See Mark , your 2nd post and you're already helping others <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yup -

CG = Combat Grade = generally Coated

LE = Limited Edition = generally "Satin"

CG= coated, tough as nails, user, go hurt it..

LE= satin, shiny and pretty (and tough as old boots) but gets rusty if not cherished!

what's this IF business, paul? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How about one of those 24hr notices...
