Dan

Right on!!

HOLY SMOKE!!!!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME DAN!!!!

Yesh!

Dan - that is OUTSTANDING !!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Any idea on the LE version ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

I hope this stays open for a long time I gotta lotta money to save. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Awesome Dan, my credit card is ready and waiting.

Wow! I was hoping for a price as good as this, but... wow <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />. Just wow. Speechless.

Dan: Will you be offering a sheath to go with that amazingness?

Bad A$$

My gosh that is way cheaper than I expected! This one may go even faster than the SS4. Lets keep real quiet about about this one. I wish I could preorder mine right now.

exactly the price i was hoping for/expecting. how bout weight?

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

I'm in line.

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

i'm channelling marv albert here

"yyyyees!"

Awesome bro!!!!


way kewl!

Dan,
You are the man! Will the LE be released at the same time as the CG? I believe that I will want at least one of each.
<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Doggoneit Dan, that is A LOT of blade for the buck.
What a deal!


Helle

Great price.

Make sure you do a bend test on the blade.

I know that SR-77 is tough but can it bend like Infi or SR-101?

LE pricing would be nice also.

I'll be curious how long the edge lasts. If satisfactory, I'm in for one for sure. Mini-chete. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Wider than 1 3/4"
whoaa! that's one Meaty blade! awesome photo Dan...Gimme!

It would be interesting to see how SR77 does in the famous Busse bend test, but I cannot imagine it would do as well as INFI or even SR101. Won't stop me from buying the new bowie either way.

Unbelievable blade and pricing. I didn't go for the SS4, it's not my cup of tea, but that bowie. I want one more than I wanted my scrapper 6.

Cazio

That is outfreakingstnading!! Wahoooo!

Good price, great knife!

Someone else already asked.. BUT how heavy is it?? Can we have grams and Imperial please!

As for bending them... the warranty says it won't break easy!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Even if the Dog Father breaks, I would like to see how much of a cheater bar is required to do it.

It would be awesome if it does as well as the Ratweiler but if it breaks with a force 5x higher than it will see in an emergency, I will still be impressed.

Can we get the option of a logo? I'll pay extra if I have to.

Seconded Gary! Logo the big dog! (It'll never happen though..) Charge us $5 and stick it on!!

I don't know there is something bada$$ed about a sterile no nonsense bowie.
There will be a logo on the LE version I am sure.

True, but if you've seen the S4 you want the logo on the CG!!

I would prefer that all of my knives be logoed. I am proud to be using Scrap Yard Knives and want to show 'em off.

I'm working on that as we speak

Dan

All I can say; you will be pleased.

I'm working on the price for the LE, its a bunch more work

Dan

Is that a full flat grind or a high (3/4) saber grind?

The logo will only be on the LE. There is no logo or option for the combat grade

Dan

The combat grade will have a near height grind. The LE will have the full height grind.

Dan

Oh...now I HAVE to get both!!!! Dan I Love you...I mean that in the most manliest way possible!!! So maybe I should say ...Scrapyard I love you...just not to confuse anyone

I'm in for the LE version. Hope there is a leather pant available with it!
Leather is better than Kydex for Big Dogs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

No confusion but thanks for the clarity.

As I am known to say after too many beers...Lov Ya MAN

Dan

I don't think I would want to "be loved in the manliest way possible" by someone who is "confused"!
I wonder how much more the LE version will be? I will guess 189$US

[censored] you Unsub! Making it sound that way! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I am ready for one of each! Make sure you have a functional sheath for them as the 6" sheath on your store site just won't do.

Unsub just beat me to it!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> You folks in southern Louisiana seem to have a "funny" way of expressing yourself! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

great price!
great blade!
now, to echo mr. klink, how about the LE version?

Awww Tom, I love you too! Let me have a turn with that Bowie!!!

Sweet.

I'll be getting one or two! It will look good with my newest BA-III

Jason - I WISH I could let you have a turn at that Bowie, but I haven't received it yet. I will post something within minutes of receiving it, rest assured! In the meantime, I think you need to spend a little more time with April. I'm SURE she's a lot cuter than either Dan or I !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

What?

TONY ...why do you torment me so!!!!!

Oh yeah.. at $139.95 i'm IN like flynn.

currently the only other Chopper choices are: M6 from the Swamp (hehe 10" is better than 6"), ~$200 Battle Rats in secondary market, or Busse FBM (ouch $)

So yeah.. i can't Wait!
err.. sorry in advance.. we're gonna break your inventory system again in ~2 weeks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />)

From the bend-tests i have seen on "regular" S7, the stuff bends like 57Rc rubber -- one blade i saw bent past the 180 degree mark and then back the other way past the 180 mark a few times before it basically "ripped" in two... I love S7... I wonder if anyone remembers what site showed this test -- it is a sword manufacturer who uses S7, i think it is called Angelsword or something?
What a great price. I too would be curious what the LE will cost...

I think I would take a regular, Unleaded and Ethyl if they were offered. I do wonder what the weight/wait will be!!!

I'm just hoping that this one will be available for at least a couple of weeks so that those of us who want one can get it.

GregB

As it's not INFI and could come back into production at a later date it won't sell out so fast; plus more could be made without Jerry jumping up and down, going purple in the face screaming! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I saw that sword test as well on SFI. Howard clark is famous for making kats with a bainite core(for flex) and martensite edge(for sharpness). I belive he uses S7.

So you know my brother well! He was surprised that I found that much INFI scrap around his shop. At least his shop is much cleaner now.

Dan

Dan....you are like the ferret from Beast Master, Kodo and Podo..stealing things from Jerry!

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

Gravelface, I'd love to get a satin version to go with my satin Anorexic Badger Attack. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

OK got the price and the specs but how about when? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

At one time I had four ferrets. They were always stealing crap of mine.




Jerry

Gotta love that stealing.. I meant dumpster diving!

Bill - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! We are ALL anxious for the DogFather's release! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

We are pushing hard. More than 5 days less than 2 weeks...if all goes well. Rub that lucky rabbits foot for us. Stay tuned to the forum since I will post the status in days and hours when we are just a bit closer.

Dan

Remember Dan, no selling the bowie till after the 20th when I've gotten my birthday money. I'm already going to be in hot water for the SS4.








Peace
Jerry

Hey Dan,

Could you start a new thread when you get the torture test results completed? I would be interested in seeing what this pooch can do for tricks!

AKMatt

yeah can't wait to see test results!
i wonder if other knives/makes will be abused alongside the Dog Father to see how they stand up?

I get paid tomorrow...DOG FATHER, come home!!!!

Yeah! can't wait for the DogFather! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

If the bowie isn't released soon, I am sending this guy after it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL-LjXGkyTE

Hmmm, that definitely doesn't sound like a Busse answer. It should be two weeks, regardless of how long. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Will do

Dan

I will post the results before releasing the Dog Father, I wouldn't want the dogs making a decision without knowing what this monster can do

Dan

This is way too funny

Thanks for sharing
Dan

bring it! squared choil or not, it's a [censored] fine looking knife, and i can't wait to sidle one (or two) up to my FBM.

That video was on national TV in the UK.. The worlds stupidest robber!

The bowie is nice but will it come sharp?...

I sure hope so!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> My BattleRats were both ready to shave when I received them, and I hope the DogFather will be too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Dan are you taking note? (Or beating the monkey who does the final gring around the head with a rolled up newspaper with the word 'sharp' on it!!?) Sorry but so far it's 0 for 2 on sharp... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

My SS4 was sharp when it came. Not "hair popping sharp" but very accaptable and it did not take much time with the EZE LAP to get it as sharp as the thick stock and edge angle will allow. I found it helped to wear down the edge of the coating where it meets the edge.

Noted...I thought we had corrected this since the first go around. The beatings will continue

Thanks
Dan

My S6 LE came shaving sharp. Was that possibly the result of the convex zero edge?
Ron Athay

My scrapper 6 wasn't that stellar in the sharpness department. I had to do some reprofiling and sharpening. Mt SS4 on the other hand came shaving sharp. Once I really begin to use the knife I'll break out some snad paper and the mouse pad and go to work on it.

The ole sand paper and mouse pad trick...I don't buy it!

Mmmmm, LE! Full height grind!

one CG and LE- one to grind/use/abuse, and one to charish.. bring it on!

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

Yes!! I knew someone would be able to find it... If you go to that link and click on videos, that's the ones i was thinking of. it actually bends farther than i remembered, in the neighborhood of 270 degrees -- a very respectable neighborhood, to say the least...

Thanks Dan, I hope if I do order the bowie I get a sharp one- the prospect of trying to sort out that monster would put me off ordering it...

I watched that Angel sword video- wow those blades are bendy! If Dans survive even half of that they are awesome value for money. The Angel prices show how good Dan's are too I guess! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

well you can buy it, you have to go out and do it yourself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It can work very well, but it really gets through paper quickly. I think someone suggested wetting the 'wet and dry' to slow the abrasion down. I haven't tried it yet but that S4 is nearby.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I use the wet/dry paper and I usually wet the stuff. It does slow the abrassion down, at least in my experience.







peace
Jerry

Handy.. At the prices decent abrasive paper goes for!..

Yeah, I got tired of the cost, clogging, and how quick they wore out. So I switched to stone and ceramic. It's easy to clean a dirty stone with a scotch brite pad, and ceramic you can clean with a pencil eraser. I think stones are quicker too to sharpen with, because you can quickly clean them and they won’t get clogged like sandpaper. Clogs=less abrasion=longer sharpening time. And stones change the edge from convex to V, but I haven’t had any problems with a V edge, and my V edges are thinner than the factory convex edges.

Andy, you need a picture of you holding a stone in one hand and a dead squirell in the other!

Ummm where's the squriell

so besides stropping.. and sandpaper/mousepad.. what other methods of sharpening would keep the convex edge?

That is exactly how my head felt the day after new years, although, I think the stone was bigger and there was someone jumping up and down on it

A great picture

Thanks
Dan

What pic? I loaded this page in Netscape and IE and I don’t see a pic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I ended up not drinking anything on New Years. I was busy posting here and the Swamp, and didn’t notice the time until it was like 11:30. I bought a bottle of Spumonte (sp?) champagne, but didn’t open it. I’ll just save it for some other occasion. I do have a “couple” bottles in my alcohol collection already. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
(pardon the mess, they’re stored in the basement on the workbench)

HAHAH!!!

that's so good it has to be fattening.

The squirrel was nailed to his chin, that's where Andy keeps his too!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

andy, you gonna take that from him? he's scared of paul bunyan lookin avatars, i know it. show him what's up.

Don't make me swim over there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just because the Romans, Danes and Normans made it, doesn't mean us Brits are total push overs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Just send your diplomat(e) Keeley to handle all civil affairs!

haha!

Yep, that would be a 'full front'all assault to take the American mainland!

i am dyin to see the results of the torture tests. it won't be my biggest or sharpest knife, but it may well be the toughest. love to see it worked side by side with comparable pieces of infi and sr101.

Daz purdy!!!... WOW, Mama!... Yummy!

This Bowie will rule all!!

What TKC said!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ahh

BOWIE!!!

Nuahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah!!

I want to see the test just so I know the Bowie is closer to being released!...I have the Money this week...but I may be too weak to hold it a week and pick up another chopper~!


Dan, this is a cry for the Dog Father!!!!!

I believe when Jerry said on BF that the test would include hogs, those rhodent fellows, and of course Scrapyard knives.


Peace
Jerry

pull it together man!

that was one hell of a thread. i really wish you could save some of the youtube content.

Steer the course GF, steer the course.

i also hope they pull the grip off. i wanna see the tang on that beast. someone's bound to rehandle this thing with the leather washers or stagg or somethin.

How much longer..I need to place an order..I need a constant influx of INFI and other fine steels. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

C'mon Dan loot some INFI for us anti-corrosion freaks! INFI DF!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

what would that cost? $300?

seein as a full fledged FBM is $387 and scrap yard is supposed to be the value performance brand, any higher a tag would be too much and send customers to busse. that's more of an infi collector's price than a user's price. and infi's worth more with busse's logo on it. maybe if you put the "LE" on the end of the model name.

Are we there yet?

Lets get somethig up there and do some buying...it's time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

...OK...any "semi-firm" idea when this potent, swiggin' Bad Boy will be available for shipping ? I got some gators roamin' around down here, and I need some new leather to add to my wardrobe :-}

On the 10'th Dumpster Dan said between 5 days and two weeks.

Let's hope the two weeks were not meant in the Busse sense.

He also said he would post the status as it got sooner.

We are on day 8, so hopefully it will be in the next 6 days.

He has to post a performance video and LE pricing also.

welcome will. if you end up with extra skins, send em to jersey. i'll make room in the freezer for some meat too.

we're gettin an le? i missed that post. when did this happen?

The LE was mentioned several times .....read closely.

shame on me.

Jason - Do you still plan on getting BOTH models of the DogFather? I KNOW that I will get the LE ! I still haven't received the CG "winning name" version <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> or else I would have posted something about it. I feel like a little kid at Christmas! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Tom

just checking in again, don't want them to sell out before i can get a dozen...

you just scared the crap outa me. i ordered a knife this morning.

I hope Jason orders 2

I get to borrow one!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Certainly will be getting 2...can't have just 1 Big Dog.....might get lonely.

Magnum22 if Dan would do an INFI DF for around $300 (or hopefully a little less) I'd Paypal Patti RIGHT NOW!!! (I'd probably bag a pair). Anyone here wouldn't go $300 for that? Pity it'll probably never happen.

As for the name on the blade- Yard says Busse to me as much as Busse does. Busse is quality, durability and good 'material'. I just figure the yard is probably a lot friendlier and a LOT more 'Pack'!

dan's stock would sell out in about twelve minutes no matter what he charged.

I have Infi choppers....I want a SR 77....I have a qoute on a custom piece smaller than the Dog Father and for the Basic version..it was 300....I want SR-77!!!!!

the picture on the first post of this thread looks so good. i think we need another one.

Riproaring through something!!! Like a frozen Moose leg!!!

why stop at the leg? remember andy's crazy taxidermy thread?

that would be somethin else. dyin to see those results.

Dan now I need fifteen. for every three days that goes by I am going to need an additional one.....just kidding. Do these come with sheaths? probably not.

I'd agree with you guys that sr77 stands up to INFI in pretty much every regard (and 'bang for the buck' beats it into the dirt) but for corrosion resistance. At least sr77 beats 1095 into the dirt on that one!

Just clean your blade...no corrosion issues!

I'm very lazy.. And prone to shave all unnecessary weight from my kit like cleaning stuff... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

And INFI is the best all round steel out there... If you can take the cost!

We might be able to handle the cost if it is a Scrap Yard product! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hell yeah! (plus you don't get ruddy micarta off Dan!!)

Does the Scrap Yard have a custom shop? I would love to put a false edge along the top- any way?

An oilstone and time would do it! I'm not sure that a custom shop fits the yard ethos- ugly but effective!!

hah, the dog father coulda been cast as the predator. totally badass but "one ugly motha...."

The DogFather looks pretty sweet to me!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tom...any blade that is free is pretty sweet!

Hehehe Magnum 22..<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Hey man the Dogfather looks a little better than this...


Btw: Happy Birthday jerrwhy!

Jason - I'm sure that you're right, but I haven't seen it yet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> Tom

ew, put the mask on please!

Well if you do.....and it is a Bad Dog....I am also a Dog Trainer on the side....send him my way!

Yes. Remember, pirates and seamen carried plain ‘ol carbon steel knives, swords, etc. in a saltwater environment and kept them from rusting. You just have to take care of your tools and keep them clean and oiled or waxed.

oh that DF pic is sweet.. can't stop looking at it.

wow this must be the longest thread in the forum!

You could use it for your computer wallpaper... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

nope, must not leave evidence.

boss would *prolly* be cool w/ it on my cubicle PC..
but it's better the Wife NOT see it on my home PCs!

why that bright red? swamp too, why?

Magnum22,
they say Red makes you more hungry.

::shrugs::

Worked on ME! I WANT one!!

I always wondered that too. I think it’d be more interesting to vary the background, like Busse does.

These things need to be stickied.

The DF picture would be good wallpaper, even if it's bright red- then that does catch the eye!

Andy I agree with your comments and will 'pull the trigger' on a DF.. As Dan's tangs are very well protected from the elements the DF will be a great trail knife and corrosion a minimal problem indeed..

I don’t think you can do that with this forum software.


I think you’ll be quite happy with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I love my S6 to bits, so a bigger badder dog will find house room!

WoW, sweet price! Dan you da man!

I hate stickies. The problem is that when you go to a forum there are literally so many stickies that they're often ignored.






Peace
Jerry

This does not belong on page 2. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Agreed!

The Dog Father is gonna be sweet!!

That was close. Almost on the 2nd page. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

And it is going to be MINE!!! Nuahahahahahahah!! You kow, perhaps I CAN take over the world with it!!

Hey Dan, I am not slagging you but the anticipation is putting all the dogs here on edge. The pun was not intended! You have to be getting close if you are figuring out the sheath costs. Right? I mean real close!!!!!

TKC the DF would be a pretty good start on the path to world domination! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Excellent effort, You get a 9.8 for style, 9.9 on delivery and a 10 for slyness <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Dan - If you release the DogFather we'll give YOU an 11 for performance!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was trying to be thoughtful and sincere! Seriously, the Dog Father will be worth the wait. I wish you had said it would be a month and then sell them earlier. I will try to get over that jilted feeling as my submission in the "Name the Bowie Contest" was not chosen.

AKMatt "The Frozen Chosen" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Get em out...when he sells out.....make more!

Like GF said..

Bld522 you talk a lot of sense! It's just the DF is just such a great concept.. we all just can't wait! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I tried to take the level headed high ground long ago, but was bamboozeled when the Scrapper 4 hit and not the Dog Father...so now I am playing catch up for the patience I forcefully exerted.

Don't use logic and reason with me..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

So rather than logic and reason you'd rather have DF and beer? Sounds fair to me!

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

You should all know that I am working every possible hour to have enough inventory, insure performance and keep the price low. Its killing me not to have these monsters in your hands

Dan

Dan, were just bustin your chops. We know (but most of us really don't know) you are doing everything you can to get that beast of a blade to us!

Dan we know you are working hard at it. Please be patient with us as we are both your customers and fiercely proud supporters of your knives. I do not think anyone would disagree with me. The fact you make the best at the price you set gives us the feeling you really are doing it for us not just for business. I know I feel I am getting a good deal with your knives. I also know when I have been poked in the eye.

I will be patient and try to make some money while you make knives. Maybe I can trade you some money for a knife real soon!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

We're with you Dan! 110% !

And we know YOU're at it! shoot.. the way you went right back to grinding.. didn't even Sober up completely after your B-Day! that's hardcore man!

so it'll happen man.. it'll happen.

When the knives are ready.. We'll be ready too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
No worries..

Dang Tony!

You make it sound like Dan is a Booze Hound! A hardworking guy earns his break! BTW, do you think he will put a Stoli grind on your Dog Father?!

AKMATT,oh yeah he's hard working alright!
on MY birthday.. I was drinking as many beers as my years..
I passed out around 2/3 of the way thru..
When i came to.. the rest of my beer was missing!.. bastid drinking buddies i tell ya..
So the fact that Dan was able to stumble back to grinding.. that's pretty respectable.. ooooh i hope he's got all his fingers still!


..err.. what's a Stoli grind?
special edition Vodka knife?

Yeah! after all those pics.. goin through concrete blocks, hemp rope, abused in a vise..
we Ain't goin NO Where!

bring it!!!!!!!!!!!

I know and I appreciate it. It keeps me heads down doing whats right for the Dogs.

Dan

I will be after I ship the last Dog Father <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

At least a Booze Hound in training

Dan

Oh, what a sad day that will be.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

Speaking of shipping the Dog Father..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Dunno if this was answered.. I know it was asked a while back.

Is the Dog Father Through-Tempered? (same hardness throughout)
or Differentially-Tempered? (different edge hardness)

Thanks,

I think they are thru hardened like the S6; and Dan the money is waiting for when the big dog is ready! No rush.. (well maybe a little one!) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Paul,ok..
either way I'm IN of course!
Differential would encourage me to Strip it just to see the hamon line.
Through would.. save me the trouble and i wouldn't!

I do not have Dog Father money yet!!!

TKC,neither do i..
that's why credit was invented <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
just for situations such as this!

LOL Tony!!

Hey, there is an idea!! A Scrap Yard Knives Credit Card!!!

OMG!!

What an IDEA!!
Imagine!?

"with every purchase you make with the ScrapYard card.. you can earn ___ Points towards a Knive purchase!!""

WOA!!
Oh man!! that would be my Most USED Credit Card EVAR!!!

I would Return stuff i have... just so i could BUY it again using my ScrapYard Credit Card.. just so i could earn more Knife POINTS!!

Holy Moly! that would be a GREAT idea!

Ooooh baby!! How COOL would THAT be?? Oh yeah, a S.Y.K. CC.

these specs are importanat.

Just looked at the photo again, spanks the CS TM!! Dan, fine job- bring 'em on!

Even better idea would be to use the SYCC, get knife points, sell the knives on ebay for a - fair - profit, then buy more and get even more points.

Dan would like that plan better...

If things come together we are about a week away...this is not an offical notice, just a strong hint

Dan

Thanks Dan, good to know! Paypal ready and waiting.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Rich,
You just came up with a Great name for the credit card.. the SYCC card! LOL

OH MAN!!!!!!!!! THIS IS INTENSE!!!

Can they get the SYCC released in time to use it when purchasing the Dog Father?

A week ...I will sit in my sweat house and have my Spirit Guide... Dancing Dog, calm and sooth me for 5 more days..then come back and check.

Magnum22,oh yeah.. darn near this whole Month has been pretty Intense!
once this is over.. i'ma gonna need a drink..
hell i need a Drink right Now! it's Friday!
lemme see what's in the fridge.. BRB..

Rich,that is darn catchy name!
let's see who can co-produce that...

the American Express SYCC card.. don't leave home without it.

CitiBank SYCC Master Card

Chase SYCC Visa..

..for everything else there's SYCC Visa..

Nice, looks like I joined up just in time to get my chop on!

I can't sleep!!!! Give me the DF!!

Welcome to the yard

Dumpster Dan

Fore - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! Yep'- you sure picked a great time to join us, IF you can stand the pressure of waiting for the DogFather!! Tom

fore,yep.. timing couldn't be more perfect!
We're all waiting here for THE definitive Scrap Yard knife, destined to become one of the legendary choppers of Wauseon time!

This is going to be one heckuva Scrap Yard Knife!!

yep.. don't wanna miss this one!

Well, don't wanna miss ANY of them.. but Especially THIS one!

Yeah, truely, one does not want to miss out on any of the Scrap Yard Knives!

This will be the Definitive Yard knife, the S6 is great but the DF will put the yard on the map..

Yes, the S6 is a spectacular knife! The D.F. will be the one that I think folks will judge SYK by.

Thanks Dan and Klink!

These dogs are a ravenous breed and I think it's rubbing off on me. I'm getting psyched about this alright, but then I've always thought sleep was overrated anyhow. There will be plenty of time for it once I've got my DF. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah fore, you're not alone!
What began as a hobby.. has mushroomed into an Addiction! almost a sickness!

You're right.. once I have that DF in hand.. with chunks of wood all Chopped up in the backyard.. oh that'll be satisfying.

Like Tony22r said, you are NOT alone fore!!

Fore, it appears you have caught the yard disease, don't worry it's not harmfull! I prescribe Dan Busse blades taken 4 times yearly. That will cancel the effects of the addiction!!

Welcome to the wonderful high-performance insanity! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Welll said Paul!! Very well said!!

Correct, think it of as the "Pre to the Pre to the Pre" notice

Dan

Thanks for the pre, pre, pre notice Dan!!

Dan,

I am in no rush as quality takes time. I do have to go out of the country in 10 days...I don't want to be without one. I will keep my fingers crossed.

AKMatt

You'll be good

Dan

Thanks Dan! I can wipe the sweat off my brow. I saw Tony posted with the word "Arrived" in the subject line. I hauled it over to the store and then realized he had just posted enough messages to make a new dog grade.

Darn It!!!!!

The tension mounts - it's going to be a tough week (hopefully LESS)!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tell me about it! I am trying to sneak all this money out of the wifes account!

Man, you DO live dangerously!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> I dread to think of what might happen if she finds out AND has access to your knives!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

She is 4'11"....I hide them on top the fridge!

I guess you're safe as long as she doesn't decide to clean the top of the refrigerator and stand on a chair! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
