Oh! All this talk of the SODs is getting me excited! When I first saw them, I thought they were too much like the Yard Guard (which I have), so I wasn't very interested. However, the more I looked at them and found that the CG SODs have high flat grind like the CG DFs, the more I wanted one! I've always wanted a high saber ground 7 inchish do it all blade! Wait, I have a Chopweiler that fits that! Well, the SOD is just looks purpose built and cool! Besides, I ordered a tan one and I don't have any tan Scrappers. The funny thing is that when I think of the SOD arriving, I picture the black one in my head and then say no, it's a tan one I'm getting!

dl351,
It's odd that you thought it looked like the Yard Guard. My first thought
was that the Dan had taken the old Camp Tramp design and re-issued it as the
SOD.
I'm kicking myself that I didn't order 2 of them, but didn't have the money,so
one black CG will have to do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Have to start saving up for the next offering.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

DotD, it's not so much that it looked like the Yard Guard, but that it seems similar to it. The lengths are identical, and the profiles, other than the recurve on the Yard Guard are about the same. At first I didn't know if I could justify buying it. After all, when the Yard Guard and Hook came out, they seemed to be described as heavy duty do-it-all blades. The SOD now seems like a better do-it-all blade. Anyway, the important thing is that I did order one and am trying to patiently wait like everyone else here!

Yes, the operative word is "patiently".
I've pretty much written off getting the SOD before Christmas now. There
isn't much hope that even if it shipped Monday, that it would be able to
clear Customs in Canada and be here before the 25th. Not with Christmas mail
and Christmas Customs waits. I'm now optimistically hoping that I will be able
to see it sometime before mid-January. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />


Sadly, not much cheer here.

Should be any day now for shipment I think/hope...

That means we will get it sometime this week or the next for those of us here in the states... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

That would be really cool, which would mean that I might get it the following
week depending on Customs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yes it would be nice to get it before Christmas. Sadly, it would be the only gift that I wanted that I would actually get. My wife tends to get me what she thinks I should have...LOL!

I hear that calls are coming from Patti regarding CC information.

We all know what that means <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I did Paypal. But its good to hear its starting.

Got it last night, she said maybe 10 days or so.
Show up as "Restricted" on caller ID, not "Scrapyard", kind of freaked me out for a minute, just something to keep an eye out for if you don't like to answer the phone if you don't know who it is.

yeah I know...

I don't think Patti want us to have her number...

We are hungry dogs afterall <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Is it my understanding that the LE's will ship last?
