Aloha guys and gals! Just thought I'd drop in and say "hi." I have been lurking the forum for a short while but have also been a customer of Swamp Rat. I ordered the SOD (black) a few days ago, thanks in part to Noss and his review of the Scrapper 6. Very impressive. I have been looking for a knife around the size of the SOD such as the R.A.T. RC-6, Cold Steel Recon Scout, Fallkniven A1, etc. but settled on the SOD due to the combination of price, warranty, type of steel, and what the Scrap Yard company mission is. I guess, like other SOD customers, I'll be looking for a sheath for the blade like other customers (as also mentioned and spoken about by others in a different thread). I'm looking forward to getting it and giving it a good work out.

Welcome to the Yard Poi Dog!

Welcome! So where do you live in Hawaii? I've been there a couple times when I was kid and after the beach, I was waiting for the van to pick me up, little did I know I was standing on small ant hole. When I got in the van, my leg looked like tree trunks.

Welcome to the Yard.

welcome to the yard, enjoy your stay. As for a sheath, pm Rainwalker, he isn't that busy these days and should be able to whip one up for you in a hurry <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />LOL

I wouldn't say that.... I'm pretty sure he's got a bit of a backlog going on. He'll still take your order, it'll just be in line.

BTW, welcome and have some fun in the yard!

Yes, welcome aboard.

Thank you for the warm welcome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Glad to be here. Already getting impatient waiting for my SOD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I think you'll love the SOD, I can't wait to get mine! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It's definitely worth the wait! you'll love it. I'm really happy about the last few releases at .25". I like that weight a lot more than the heavier ones.

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

Welcome to the yard.

A lot of folks are. I don't like uncertainty about when an order will ship, which is why I usually order from the Busse Company store or even 'ganzas rather than from the Busse Combat main site. However, that's a new business model based on what people said they wanted, so (other than a bit of whining) I'm going along with it.

Poi - Howdy and Welcome to the ScrapYard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Even though waiting is difficult, I'm sure we will all be happy with the SOD ! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Tom

waiting is hard, but one thing I can tell you is this type of waiting is much better than the way it used to be. At least you have a picture to look at and you know your order is in. For me, everytime I order a knife it is like Christmas, I anxiously await Santa Mailman to deliver.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard!! I also saw Noss "having a go" at the S6 ~ that was my first SY knife after seeing that test & chatting to my fellow Brit's on here! LUV LUV my S6 to bits..... I might just be tempted to indulge in a SOD later... but too much knife of late.... it's addictive!!! Wait & see!!!
Enjoy your steel ~ it'll never let you down!

Hey JB, I haven't seen you post for a while. You know, I haven't seen many Scrap Yard knives get cheaper over time (Yard Hooks were an exception; nobody wanted them for a time after they were released, but people have come to appreciate even those). If you want a SoD, you probably won't get a better chance than now.

WELCOME TO THE YARD

Welcome to the yard. Enjoy your stay!

Poi,

Welcome!
The wait is hard, but is well worth it!

Cheers

Thanks again for the warm welcome everyone. Good folks here <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> Already making a deal with the resident sheath maker a.k.a. Rainwalker. The wait is definitly killing me but I know it'll be worth it. The SOD will be my "survival" knife.

Welcome to the yard Poi. I think you will enjoy the community here.

As for the sheath, you definitely made the right choice regardless of how long the wait is. As a matter of fact, I'm willing to bet that when you get your first Rainwalker sheath you will almost immediately order another one.

ScrapYard knives are very addicting as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
