I just left the Scrap Yard forums and those guys are commenting on the lack of activity there, both in terms of postings and steel. The Scrapyard section on Bladeforums is a dead indian too, although Scrap Yard has had some knives available lately. In fact, there are a couple of models available now I believe.

Cheers WD how useful do you find the rescue blade? it didn't have a rescue blade, older model? I did switch out the scissors on my SOG with a rescue blade, and it's great! If you could only interchange tools on the Swisstool, it would be "Swiss-Uber-Tool!"

ooh, forgot that, thanks scrappy, (that's why she wanted it!) we haven't tried it out yet (the blade) so I can't answer. It's been a year!

The 18 inch Ang Khola must have been nice. I have a 15 incher and it's a bit small to be an effective chopper. However, it was made by Sgt. Khadka and it is the chiruwa (full tang) handle style. The kuks I really like are those from Tora in Britain. Tora stives for historical accuracy and the workmanship, like HI's, is first rate. my 18" hi will out chop any knife i have. the tora models look more expensive from what i have seen. are they?

It'd be just my luck if I missed something important tonight, being my 5 year anniversary and all. Perhaps she won't notice me staring frozen and bug-eyed at the computer screen for a few hours once again this week! Congrats ScrapperHound! My wife and I celebrated our 4th anniversary this past 9/20/07, a day before you! I got a neck knife at the blade show. I am sure a knife is in the works for you!
