Dan threw me a curve ball on this one. I had always expected any SY Necker to be in 154CM. But SR101 is a favorite of mine, too. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
It came as something of a surprise to me too, Vic. I wouldn't think Scrap Yard and Swamp Rat would choose to go heads up in the skelly neck knife arena. But that's precisely what has happened. Here are the respective specs for the Swamp Warden and Scrapivore for those who may be interested:

Swamp Rat Swamp Warden:

Steel: SR-101 @ 58-60 RC
Blade: 3" long
Overall Length: 7"
Thickness: 3/16"
Weight: 2.2 oz.
Price: $58.95

Scrap Yard Scrapivore:

Steel: SR-101 @ 58-60 RC
Blade: 2 3/4" Long
Overall Length: 6 1/2"
Thickness: Approx: 1/8"
Weight: TBD
Price: TBD (Less than $50.00 coated)

So the Swamp Warden is slightly bigger overall (Blade Length, OAL and Blade Thickness).
I haven't held the Swamp Warden BUT I don't like the looks of the handle ergo's.
The Scrapivore looks like it will be VERY comfy though and it looks to have a tall blade.
I also REALLY like that there is NO choil, not even the small sharpening choil. JUST blade baby!!!!!!
As a few before me have said I think this may be my first multi knife order. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I'm SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!
