How do they feel in the hand?

Jealous!!!

First impressions, the handle feels great even in my big paws.

Over all it is alot smaller than I thought. The blade width makes it look small. The handle is a little small but fills the hand great!


The only negative so far is the choil is not usable. I cut my finger trying to get it in. Maybe smaller fingers can get in alright but it is just too small for me.

Overall it is really a great feeling knife, and it is cool to see Scrapyard and Infi together on the blade.

There is no numbering on the blades this time.

Here is a picture of the RMD, S5, War Dog, ESEE 3, F1, Rodent Solution, Mud Puppy








Oh and how about my
Challenge Coin!!! thanks Renee! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Very nice man!!!!
Congrats on the blades and the coin!!!

One of each! That's the way to go!

Can't wait til mine gets here!!!

Me too!!

Here is a spine shot next to the RMD

ok Here it is compared to my buddies Dumpster Mutt




You can see the handle is alot longer but is narrower at the hilt. The swell gives it a great feel.

Awesome! They look gorgeous! Can I ask you what date you ordered yours, and do you know what day it shipped? I'm so excited!

Great scores of course, and also Congrats on getting your coin!

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

Bet I get mine before you get yours though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

How's the heft?

I got the order in the second it was offered. It was not on the home page yet, no pictures on line yet, just on the order page.

It is a light knife. For such a thick blade it is quick in the hand. Our knife fighters will like the feel.

The handle is very grippy and the pommel swell will take some time to get used too when you go from a traditional sabre hold to a reverse or ice pick grip.

This feels like a knife that you can use in the kitchen, camp, or what ever might come up.

Thanks I am so happy to have mine after seeing some of the other guys get theirs. I will continue the thread for the coins and do what I can to help everyone get theirs as well <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Great pics and comparison.

Hey sar5 that DM looks familiar. I hope you enjoy it.(by enjoy I mean beat the everlivin crap out of it)

Did it require a signature to be delivered?

Congrats Sar,lookin gooooood. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
You got your coin too,awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Maybe mine's at work,mail comes after 10:00 so I'll have to wait to give them a call. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the pics guys.

No it did not.

It is awesome, my buddy claimed it so he will be the one to beat it!!

I need to get myself one now!!

Just heard mine are waiting for me at home! Great comparison shots Sar5

I hope it comes soon to all you guys, you will like them. And thank you everyone.
Im glad you enjoyed the pics. Now to cut something other than myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Awesome <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for the pics <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very cool!


Congrats

Dan

Sweet! Thank you, mine should be on the porch.....can't wait to get home! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I forgot one question, where does it balance?

[/quote] Thank You Dan,

It is an awesome design. You out did yourself and I am glad to be part of it!!
and thanks Renee you are great!!







Very cool!


Congrats

Dan

In my not so scientific test, just behind the finger guard is where I can get it to balance.
I can see military personnel loving this knife. C/Os will not find it intimidating and it is thick enough to use. It is a handy knife and I can see it mounted easily on body armor.

In a leather sheath it would probably only get a casual glance from passerbys in the woods.

Kudos Dan.

Nice, I'm waiting to get out of work now to get home and jump the mailman.

Nice pics Sar congrats bro!

Sooooo.....




.....which is gonna be your user, Tan or Black or BOTH!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

im not sure, I love the tan and think in a brown leather sheath it will not raise as many eyebrows with it on my side as does some of the larger or black kydex rigs I have.

But the black is so cool looking with the satin finish blade. I will have to ponder on it, think things out, make a list, rationalize it, and then when everything is said and done, the one that gets the first scratch will probably win. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Forgot to say great pics! So nice to see it with other blades...

I might have to leave work early....Uh...I ...AM .....feeling....a ...little ....Sick...Cough, cough.....hack.......WAR DOG SICKNESS!!!!!

They always require a Signature at my house. Im outta here before the mail gets there! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.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="" />

Thanks for all the great pictures! I hope mine are waiting for me. Someone want to call my boss pretending to be his wife and tell him to rush home so I can get out of here early?

Forgot about ordering schwag, maybe next time I'll grab a coin. Looks cool!

Congrats on the WD. It looks a lot smaller than I thought it would be.

Is the edge on it convex?

Nice pics!

Thanks for sharing dude. I'm envious.

Looking good!! I can't wait for mine!

Congrats SAR5, great score and pics! I hope that mine arrives tomorrow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Great Pics!!! Thanks! Looking forward to "feeling" that new handle. My S5 Le's can't wait to welcome their cousin!
All The Best, JB

Update, Just took the dog for a walk, the War Dog that is...


and once more, how cool is this?


what a combination!!!!

Well, it looks very cool.

Now I'm impressed.

Thank you for the pics! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nice! Hopefully I can share a few pics in a while. Left work (last day with kids, yay!), stopped to have a few beers......just hoping the WAR DOG is waiting for me at home!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Got mine!! Sick knife, love it. Very light, cant wait to give it a good beating!

Ok guys, a four hour update <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

this thing feels great. the handle is really well designed. I can change grips quicker now with less chance of dropping the knife.

I think that this knife will fill many needs for people.

It is quick and easy to manipulate for self defense purposes or military app.s


and it feels great to do camp chores as well. It has a stout point for fire board usage, a sharp edge with great grind. Its not a chopper so dont expect it do well there. I think it will make a great bush tool.


and kitchen chores will actually be fun now!

Looks sweet SAR5. Thanks for sharing all the great pics. I'm still waiting for mine; told them not to process the order until next week.

I got mine, too! What a beautiful knife, good balance, great feel in hand... that blade really is a thick slice of INFI, but I like it! Overall, I'm pleased this was my first Scrap Yard purchase... now I just need a sheath for it. Pics to follow.

Sorry, my camera sucks.



Shot with the AR, inspired by original War Dog intro photo... they look good together

Sliced those berries well for a thick blade! Seems like a nice bush/combat blade like you say. I'm glad I sprung!

the only neg so far is the choil. It is just too small for my sausage fingers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
But atleast my War Dog has already been baptised in [color:"red"] blood [/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

congrats on the knife! and welcome to the group!!! you will have fun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Bummer. The mail has come and gone. No scrapyard goodness for me today.........

Bummer here too.....no WAR DOG for me, and I live in KY. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

the only good thing is tomm is sat. which means mail!!!

good luck brothers i hope you all get yours soon.

meanwhile feel free to drool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Anyone got a shot next to A Regulator handle?

how that for fast service?
Hope a de reg is ok.

Perfect Thanks! Good looking DeReg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Nice pic! I sure hope that mine arrives tomorrow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

These pics make the DeReg look huge!!!!
Though I suppose it is a good size Bowie!!!

Nothing for me today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I thought for sure being so close to the yard. Tomorrows the day I hope <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Excellent pics lucky Dawg. Thanks for the comparison pics.

The tan is great but I'm glad I got the black.

Got mine

Congrats! Nice pics man,thanks.
Mine came today too! Everything i hoped for. Love it!

Whip us up a killer pic Ted! The War Dog is worthy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

This is interesting to me. Not clear if I consider it a negative or not...but I'm intrigued. The design would lead one to believe that the choil is usable for choking up on the blade, upon first glance. However, it must just be an oversized sharpening choil...I guess? My finger doesn't fit and I have medium sized hands. My wife's finger fits, but not comfortably enough to suggest you wouldn't cut yourself if not careful.

Thanks for sharing your pics / comments! It helped me get through the day <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yes I'm a little disappointed in that ish, to me you Gould either have a usable choil or none at all.
By having this one I still find myself putting my finger in there getting cut up aging.

None for me today...I hope they show up tomorrow. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Great pics guys! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It wouldn't be hard to use a round sanding drum on a dremel & grinding off a bit of the finger guard so a finger will fit in the choil.
It might make a better bushcrafter out of it.

I look forward to the day when I get mine! Nice pics!

I have BIG hopes for a Saturday delivery!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Me too PK! Tracking shows arrival in Boston, MA @ 1:15 AM! Good chance mine is coming today. Best of luck to the rest of you that are waiting!

Got mine either Thursday or Friday, not sure as I was out of town, and thus far I think it will be my favorite blade of this size. Way to go Dan and crew!

Called the PO to see if they could hold the package, and they said it's already out on a truck! Woohoo! The only problem is that I live in the city, and the USPS guy likes to leave a note rather than ringing my buzzer. I put up a note for him to ring the buzzer and I'm not leaving home until he gets here! Everyone join me in doing the mail dance! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Ted, are you a fan of the Song of Ice and Fire series? I noticed your avatar. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm a huge fan and have read all the books and I've been watching the HBO series as well.

I just got my Saturday delivery with 2 war dogs!

This is one of those, if I could only have one knife this would be it kind of moments. Thank you Dan, Renee, Patrick, Denny, and the rest of the SYKCO crew. I love it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Good luck to those still hoping to catch the elusive mail man bearing packages.

Nice! I've been a bit nervous with the people saying that the choil is too small. I really don't have a knife that I can say is my "if I could only have one knife this would be it..." knife. Hopefully I feel the same way!

About the choil, I do have pretty average sized hands. Hopefully the choil is big enough for me. I will be pretty bummed out if it's not. I find that choils are especially useful on blades around the size of the WarDog. I really don't want to have to break out the dremel to make it fit either.

My hands are small to med and it depends on what you mean by fit for the choil. I can't hook my finger into it. But it serves as a guide when you choke up.



Alternately in a more culinary style grip:

Ohhhhh! This is a great pic of the edge!!
[censored] it looks sharp!!!!

Congrats to all those who got their WD's, I got mine Yesterday as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My war dog is here!!!!!! I know I know, pics or it didn't happen. I'll post some up in a little bit! Woohoo!!

First impressions is that I'm a little bit underwhelmed by the knife and not quite sure what I'm going to use it for. It is much smaller than I thought and the choil is a bit awkward. Also, the tip on the knife is very dull. I will have to use the knife a bit and get used to the feeling of it before I say anything else.

On the plus side, the blade is quite beautiful and did come sharp enough to shave my arm hair! I will post my thoughts and pictures after I use it a bit. I have some work to take care of first, but will post before two (hopefully)

Pics as promised:




I am going for a hike right now and will bring this blade with me. I hope my initial impressions change after using it for a bit. I am sure they will. Keep in mind that this is my first scrapyard knife and my first INFI knife.

I am and I'm anxiously awaiting the next book coming out in July. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

sorry bout the crappy pics, my cam is in LA and lunch was waiting for me so I was rushing.
