And the same to jmillo as well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I concure. When I measure mine from the top of the Mudders, I get 4 5/8".
If measured from the bottom of the mudders, I get 5.0" on the nose.

I don't know how dan is measuring or even if S5 means 5.0" (?????)






I am not so sure I would say the Bog Dog is under-rated. I think it has just not been a subject of discussion much because it is so long past. As you say, most everyone I have heard discuss it has loved it.

I think the S5 is destined to be a winner - even if I would personally wish for a couple of minor tweaks.





While I appreciate visual interest, I MUCH prefer function. I still prefer the guard/choil arrangement of the Bog Dog.

I actually think the blade shape and grind is more aesthetically pleasing on this S5 than the Bog Dogs anyway. But, I still prefer the Bog Dog's guard/choil.

.

+1 Agreed. So it appears to be convex (????) - which I LOVE and prefer over the flat grind. But, I don't mind flat grind. I just don't really care much for hollow grind on most of my knives.

I'm just not into stainless steels Vic,no matter what anyone says they are more brittle than the equivalent high carbon steel ( lets see a dogfather made of 154CM bent in a vice like the famous pic ) I also like to see my knives get a nice aged look to them through use! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

TRUE! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

This thred is off and running. There are gonna be 1000 orders for this blade!

I'm with knife guy in wodering if this is going to dethrone the king of the 5" blades-Ratmandu!

I hope my SS4 doesn't get jealous!! I love that blade, it's great, great carry size, slices and dices...this just looks like another really special blade.

I'm pumped. And I think I see Horn Dog weakening!!!

MUDDERS!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT DAN!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

THIS NEW IDEA AND STYLE IS OUTSTANDING!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I AM ULTRA HAPPY TO SEE THIS NEW VISION OF SCRAP YARD KNIVES!!

Enough screaming... but THIS is just what I was hoping for!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

A almost.. fighter yet Scrappy enough to cause trouble,and a MAGNIFICENT decision to use big mudders instead of the same old slabs.

I applaud this brilliant move by the whole Scrap Yard family to have this NEW BREED of Scrappers released. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

This should only be the beginning of a whole new realm of Scrap Yard Knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />


BRAVO!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />


Peace.

Ummm... I am OK with 154CM, but yeah, I would probably lean a bit towards prefering SR-101.

But, in either event, I thought it was well known I ALWAYS prefer SATIN!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if busse could give 154cm a differential heat treat that could be bent in a vice?

I can see a where DF might be better in S7, but a Scrapper 5 should be fine in 154CM. Besides, I don't normally put my blades in a vice and bend them with a cheater bar. I have put the MPLE and SMLE through as rough a test as I would with any knives that size, and they have come through just fine. As wet as it is in BC, I would have thought that a stainless scrapper 5 would have appeal to pitman, but I guess not. Am I the only one here who still sees 154CM as a premium knife steel?

As awesome of a design this knife is, I think it should be INFI! I know, I know... wish in one hand....
