What Should I do

Dogs

It has been one insane but a good summer. We successfully moved to our new home but we are still living out of boxes. I guess that will be the case for months to come. I am concerned that we cannot find the box that cradles my Makers...those movers looked a little shifty LOL...my son and his friends. It will show up eventually and I can do some serious bourbon therapy.

While I wait for this treasure hunt to conclude I was thinking I should do something special for you Dogs. So here is your chance to provide some input.

Give me any ideas and I will take them into serious consideration. No idea is dumb or silly. I cannot guarantee that I will use your idea but here is your chance to influence me

Lets here it

Thanks

Dan

Kukri!

add...kinda like so...kukri with a res-c handle= epic!!

Something thin and pointy around 4 inches in satin would be nice.

I would be happy to receive my Challenge Coin Victory knife.

An 8" Infi bladed knife with a Res-C handle would be sweet as well!

I'll bet.

It is sitting on my desk awaiting the laser. This one is going to be hard to part with ...its so good looking with the bronze coating and all. More importantly how you got me is still unbelievable

It will arrive soon my friend

Dan

oooooh that would be something

Dan

Good thinking

Dan

I think an updated Challenge coin with the option of engraving your JYD numbber on it. They can do some really great stuff now.

That I would make a pre-order though. Having done hundreds of them I never had one commissioned without a pre-order.

I'll float another...SS4 Skinny...1/8" thick...in sr 101...

Actual that and the kukri would be a sweet set!

I am a kukri kind of guy as well...!!

I would also be up for something large with a Regulator grip, along the FBM style of thing.

The Mega Regulator or Super Regulator or Regulator XL has some merit as well.

I am also another that is enamoured with the idea of "magnum mudder" grips...!!! Attached to an appropriately sized blade !!

At the other end of the spectrum, the Skeleton Key is one of my favourite Busse blades, I have a couple but one I got from Dave Brown (used by him for some of his 1/4 punching escapades) is probably my most carried and used blade (as despite my best efforts the ASH1 just does not work as a neck knife!!!!!) . A similar "long" thin blade from you would be a must have for me..!!!!!

I'd be down for another Kukri, since I've already a few, but one from the Yard, yes

just waiting until I get a small bonus from the Army, then I'll have some money to play with. So, anything really, Dan!

Trying to give me a heart attack, aren't ya!

A knife similar in size to the 311, only 1/8" thick, no choil, and satin SR101.

1) Scrap Ax
2) DSF blade with a res -c handle

MM

Oh and a Kukri would be completely sick...people have been begging for a yard Kuk forever now...



MM

Yes or a scrap ax with mudders.

Yes, for quite a while now.

I also like the idea of something big with a (De)Regulator handle. I'm never going to give up on that one.

No one said a folder yet? A folder please.

Scrap Ax with a regulator handle.

I am a huge fan of big blades. Not fantasy blades but utility which the yard has only ever done utility. That is part of why i like sykco so much... So... I would like a kukri or something along the lines of a golok.

Either way i am excited to see what comes

I'm sure we ALL are!!!

This

I would like to have a 5" inch blade, with a full size choil, FFG and Basic handles. Nothing beats the Basic handle IMO.

Bladeshape should mimic that of the ASH-1.

3/16'ish thickness.

The finish should be blued or Parkerized (think it's the right word) like those Regulators we saw a while back.

I am in the kukri camp. I live my 1311, but would prefer a bit more heft and angle for chopping. So, I vote for a heavy camp axe style kukri.

Thinner blade thickness (Mudd Mutt) on the 311 and extend the blade length to 4.11".

El-Muk! Of course!

Or a 6"-7" thin blade with no choil and mudder handles.

A kukri with the regulator handle!

^^^ this

YES!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the challenge coin idea to commemorate the millionth post.

Would be a cool knife, no?!

How about a "Set". Challenge coin customized as stated above paired with the Skinny SS4!

Deal! Only add a 1/8" 311 and an ax.

Recurve Bowie 711, CUSTOM SHOP!!!

Clip-point 7-11, and same with an 8-11.

711 with a drop point, kind of a Chopweiler with a Res-C handle. A Boss Jack type blade. A Bolo. And of course the Kuk.

SR101 Dogfather and Son of Dogfather. :-) Three color variations, black on black, sage on dage, and tan on tan.

count me in for this as well please

Kukri all the way!

Or something very different: a Tomahawk SY style!

Well, I've said most of these before but:

-INFI 411 with orange mudders

- Dog Jack

- el Muk

- Dog DSF

- CG War Dog (or parkerized would be cool)

- CG War Dog Skinny

- Yard Kukhri

- Dog-chette (16-18" thin with a Regulator handle)

- DASH (Dog ASH)

- INFI 1111

El Muck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thin, Drop point, very pointy, 3.5" Elmax, full choil, Mudder, The Dog Caper.

Dog ASH for me to. But need Infi with Basic handle.

INFI DASH. I like the sound of that

INFI DASH...sounds like an Olympic event

Oh, and any blade I mentioned has to come in at $200 or less

INFI DASH
Yard Kukhri
Dog-chette
INFI 1111
Parkerized War Dog
INFI Safety 411
Dog DSF
Dog Jack
el Muk (skinny)
Yard Axe (not a hawk--make it a camp axe )
Scrap Fillet (thin elmax 6 or 7 inch fillet knife with orange mudders)
Doglok (Dog Golok)


Stuff here might interest me...especially if it's inexpensive or free. Love for the 10K and over crowd?

If anyone can do it, Dan can!

It will be something big comming !

To answer the original question: "What should I do?" The answer is simple:

Give the Squirrel a $500 shop credit

Scrap Zilla w/ fatty Res-C FTW!!!

Whatever the blade is, how about the option of getting our JYD# on it?

Great idea G/D!

Thanks Tom!

You're welcome!

I still want a Ratchet/Paul's Hatchet type small chopper but with a slightly longer pointed blade instead of it being squared off like the Ratchet and Paul's Hatchet are.

A Kukri sounds cool too though!

Or a Folder! LOL!

A ratchet like that would be very interesting.

Another vote for a kukri with a res-c handle. Economically priced for the family man who wants a lifelong tool, please.

I vote for a Zombiwashi with a Regulator handle. Or the Reg handle but maybe half again as long. Oh did I mention it needs to be a quarter inch thick and FFG!

Nice idea Randy!

Welcome cz9r. Or, is this RN making a second account trying to push your kukri agenda?

Many of us have talked about and wanted for a Scrap Zilla for awhile now. If it gets a green light I'm all over it.

cz9r, WELCOME TO THE YARD! Great knives and even Greater people! YUP, we ARE a fanatical bunch, but not to the point of Exclusion of all others.

Glad you decided to join us and don't feel shy about posting.

Thank you General Delivery. Sorry, should've introduced myself. I'm a newbie to the forums. Hi everyone and glad to be here!

Thank you SkunkHunter!

Perish the thought!

But...great idea!

cz9r....Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard!

Welcome!

So a knachet with Res-C handle?

Khuk for the win!... and chopping wood/zombies

Howdy all. Hey Dan, thank you for being open to ideas. Like I said, my vote's for a kukri, with an 11" blade and a res-c handle, but if it's priced higher than a 1111 it's going to be hard for me to purchase as I'm saving for my kids' education in this crazy don't-know-where-we're-going-world. At the same time, I would like a beast of a tool that'll last and that I can use hard. Thanks, again. I know you have your own factors you need to consider.

Good post CZ! Now this is just a guess here, but from your avatar name you need to make it a .45!

The Mighty 45. When you when you only care to send the very best.

Hey Dan,
I have some other input to give - well maybe not for this time but for some other - if you put up another retro model for production for Blade or Knob, why not make it also available for the dogs that can´t be there - from Europe or Australia it´s just....expensive for a day trip
That woudn´t even require to create something different and if just postet via pm to the YDs or just allow to order with their YD number will keep all the people not participating in the brotherhood out...
Just something I was thinking about today while attending some stupid meeting about the new digital radio network in Germany

CZ, right now the top three "Choppers" are the 1311, 1111 and the 911. Now IF you are lucky enough to score a Dog Father, you've got the Great Grizzled Grand Daddy of them all! Yes, it's THAT good.

@SkunkHunter - LOL I'm a beginner shooter so for now it's just 9mm, pocket pistols, and my long guns. Have a 1111 on the way. I'm hoping it will be both a good chopper and something of a short sword. I would love to have a SYKCO quality kukri that wasn't as expensive as a Busse Killa Zilla because I've had good experiences with kukri's in the past.

Want a short sword? Get a Rodent Waki over at the Swamp. 1311 is more of a solid machete. 1111? I'd love to snag one someday, but my Dogfather sufficeth

Welcome to the Yard CZ

CZ, I think you will be more than satisfied with the 1111. It's close to the Legendary DogFather so as DT says, It will sufficeth.

Yes, it's THAT good!

Some great ideas in this thread.

The furry guy means the Rodent Rucki from swamprat I have it and it´s a real nice and quick blade!
For a Kukri I love my CS Ghurka Kukri plus (dosen´t need to be the san mai version, sk5 is plenty!) - until we get a scrap one

Thanks everyone. I considered the Rucki before, but I wanted something I'd use on a more regular basis outdoors, which is a chopper/wood processor. Every time I started to save enough for a Rucki, I ended up putting it into a firearm. Yal have made me feel welcome here, and I appreciate it. The Yard is a good place to be.

I own the rucki as well and love it one with a mudder version of a longer reg handle would be sick.

I'd still like a re-release of the Mud Puppy, call it a SE and don't worry about the numbers.

To short of a blade for me, the rodent solution already is way too short as well as the 311 (only SY I sold...) in my opinion

I STILL think an 8" clip-point would be sweet!

Yeah...Rodent Rucki...that's what I meant. Must've been the drugs talking...unless of course I posted that before surgery, in which case it was just stupidity talking

Whatever is made I hope it's under $200. A Scrap Zilla with a 13-15" blade at 0.25" thick with a basic or Regulator handle for $150 would be nice You don't need to make a profit, right Dan?

Any of my other suggestions would be good too. Of course, you might want to make a prototype of each and send it to me free for "testing." I won't even charge a fee for the reviews! I'm just that cheap...er...I mean nice of a Dog.

To recap:
INFI DASH
Scrap Zilla
Dog-chette
INFI 1111
Parkerized War Dog
INFI Safety 411
Dog DSF
Dog Jack
el Muk (skinny)
Yard Axe (not a hawk--make it a camp axe grin )
Scrap Fillet (thin elmax 6 or 7 inch fillet knife with orange mudders)
Doglok (Dog Golok)

You overlooked the 8" clip-point! ......................

...on purpose

Make it a drop point or a spear point and I'm in your corner

The Dog DSF!! Klink can customize his to a clip point if he wants...

MM

A conspiracy!!!

Nah, if it were a conspiracy, you wouldn't see it coming

Well, so far NONE of us have seen anything new from the Yard!

It HAS been a while...

Still want a giant deregulator.

That would be pretty sweet!

I thought the Deregulator already WAS a giant knife!

It´s big fore sure - I like it Especially the handle, never thought from pics that it could be comfy

make it big--Scrap Zilla, INFI DASB or 1111, Dog DSF, etc.--and call it "The Cryptid" after the thread in the outdoor section and to honor thw Dogs who have staked out these Internet woods in hopes of catching a glimpse of this elusive near-mythical blade.

What an imagination you have D/T! ...........................................

No love for Cryptids?

I just want to see Dan actually post in this thread again. Everything else is noise

Good point!

like a Cryptid

A Cryptid has points? Must be talking about their pointy fingernails.

Sigh. Dan's promise of new steel....like a cryptid....all noise, no pics or verifiable evidence...

Have Faith!

Faith? I need funds!

Tell me about it; I just had a root-canal re-done due to an infected tooth.

Ouch!

The co$t hurt more than the actual pain!

I'd like to see an El Max Muk with mudders, and a new El Max necker;)

8", 3/16" thick Elmax with a DogFather handle! After all, Bark River is doing one.

Link?

Yeah I'd like to see that.

My mistake. 6 1/4" blade. I was thinking of the STS which has the bigger 154CM blade.

It's been too quiet in this thread...time for a little begging/pleading.

Just food for thought Dan...





It would make for a great combo!!



As aside for my other thought...a Skinny SS4 would be great b/c the SS4 was released a looong time ago and there are not a ton of them out there. Also, done in SR101 it would be a great bang for the buck!

Look forward to seeing whatever you kick out in any case.

Copied this from the BOAR Film thread.

OK, when you contact Dan this is what you refer to.

Quote:
Nice artwork as usual!

How about we compromise on a BOAR commemorative set?

The Pork Poker--11" narrow pointy uncoated pig sticker with a Mudder or Regulator or even a Basic handle? Kinda like an oversized Taliwhacker without the tanto tip.

The Swine Slayer 9

The Hog Hammer--an 8" wide-belly clip point Bowie knife with a Regulator handle

The Boar Dog--Randy's karambit blade. Maybe 3" AND 5" options?

All in favor, say "aye" (or "bark")!

As long as it's 9"+ and has a (De)Regulator handle.

Here's the Bowie!

I think that Dan should release a Bowie with the OLD logo on the Blade!

Now we're talking!

Yes, the "ears down" logo.

Sgian dubh, dagger, bowie

Now you're talking!

I agree with What Tom said! Well Johnny Mack too.

Great minds think alike! ................................

What do ya'll think about a 6 inch blade or greater dagger?

Scraphawk!

/yawn...

Hawk or Kukri

Whatever.....just BRING it!!!

Anything that has a full convex grind, no choil & parkerized.

Of course, cheap would be good!!!

I agree, except for the parkerized part.

Comp Finish would be better……

Dan, whatever it is, please include a Dog lanyard bead with it!

Good one!

I know the lanyard beads are available, but I can't reach the selection bar; it jumps down to the dagger.

Can anyone post a picture of the Dog lanyard bead?

Try this link.

Dog bead

Thank you Ray! I definitely want to order a couple of those with my next order!

I was gonna order a couple beads an lanyards, but the only color you can choose from is yellow and black. I want the red and black circle stitch. Hmmm maybe need to PM Renee.

Awesome Ray! Thank you. I got one for my 711 that I ordered from ebay. It is different but looks cool, not as cool as those though.

Just bring it man!!!

You are killing us!

Any BIG Scrappers coming to the TGanza?

I'd be down for a BIG Scrapper of some type.

The Ganza 7-11 variant is calling out to me!!!

Here's another vote for an axe of some sort.

Preferably in SR77.

Or, to run a bit on the crazy side, I've had a hankering for a cleaver recently.

8" blade, 4" wide, 1/8" thick, convex grind, Mudder handle.
As a tool intended for chopping, Scrapyard steel and heat treat are already ideal.
Not that it can't be used for everything else too, thin stock would be better for when you're cutting vegetables (and make the price more reasonable).

Nothing new...

Sr-77 sounds good...

For kirchenwork it shouldn´t be SR101 then...the cleaver that is

But I would love to see a outdoortool like an hawke, some kind of axe of Kukri far more...

I had a crazy dream...anyone ever wondered about a Scrap-Hammer?
I mean a real tool, not a kife...

Two handed war hammer. Lol

I'm in for a battle hawk or ax.

A new skelly perhaps? Thin, shiny and rust resistant..

How abt a fighting knife?

Maybe a double edged boot knife with a 5 inch blade.

Scrap Hawk with regulator handle. You're welcome

Dan asked "What should I do?" on October 9th 2014...Dan its December! Do something!!


MM

A Scrap DSF!

That^^^^ would be pretty cool!

Actually I feel as if the Wardog HACK would work out pretty nice.

I'd really like to see a light weight yet full sized hiking blade. 7 OAL with a 1/8 inch thick blade but not too tall. One inch tall max on the blade. Something akin to the fallniven wm1 only with SR101 and res-c. Something in between the size of the 311 and the scrapivore.

I would love to see a new Res-C design, in a smaller package like this. Opens up a world of possibilities for the brand.

Yeah, sounds nice!

An 8.5 inch bladed, clip pointed "8.5-11" would be pretty sweet!

Instead of wheres Waldo we need a Where is Dan

I was hoping to get my son in law a Yard knife for Christmas
But with no offering I bought him a Tops Wild Pig Hunter

He has 2 SYKC blades that I bought him in the past but they were both off the secondary market

I couldn't wait for a new offering so I broke down and got regulators.

I like the 8.5-11 inch clip point. Great idea.

I ended up spending my cash upgrading rifles.

I picked up a Ruger 10-22 myself.

I've been eyeballing the PWS T3 Summit Toggle Bolt built on the 10-22 platform. Mmmhmmmm....

Go ahead Ishi....you KNOW you want it!

Lol well don't bother with a new knife Dan we are all broke.

I was SO desperate for new steel that I bought a couple of Cold Steel Natchez Bowies, a Helle GT, a Blackjack Bowie, and a Condor Matagai.

Whoooo going outside the family Tom?

It should be a drop point, to mix things up. Even Dans spear point with a false edge would be OK.


MM

Tom
Whats you favorite Bowie? and please post a pic

MM

OK, my absolute favorite Bowie is the one that Justin Gingrich custom-made for me. Pic coming up:



Third from the bottom.

They are all knives from Justin.

WOW! Neat Tom.

Sweet!

Luv that bowie!

Very nice Bowie. Is that the one you use to fight the girls off?

I fight off the girls with open arms and a big smile!

Now THAT'S a Bowie!!

I have no Gingrich knives...Dan better release something quick! I have almost made all my Christmas purchases for my family, so if there's any cash left over...

MM

Thank you! That's not the best pic I have of it; I just got tired of going through my photobucket library.

As far as going "off brand"; I will buy almost any knife (within reason) that appeals to me, regardless of who makes it. Blade shape, steel, handle, etc. is what guides my choices. But I STILL love my Scrap Yard knives!

OK, a couple more pics:





I made the sheath myself; I also made a black sheath for it.

Nice work. Man I like that knife!

I'm trying to talk Justin into making a similar Bowie but with a nice wood burl handle. I wish that Jerry would release more Bowie shapes with wood handles.

Something like this pic to compare to my other Bowie pics.

One more pic.

Very nice!

Dang! A Magnum Regulator would be sweet...

MM

Yes it would, though I'm not big on the handles.

How about a handle and guard like the bottom bowie of the "one more pic" post?

The regulator handle is my favorite handle now.

There is no doubt the Regulator handle does work. But I am like a lot of others, it isn't my favorite.

For some time I have been wanting a smaller knife with the larger Res-C handle. I think the smallest knife to ever wear the Large Res-C handle was the Scrapper 6 with a 6.5" blade.

I would like to see a knife similar to the 511 with a large Res-c handle and a large choil or no choil.

If that idea is too crazy then maybe something little more practical like a two handed Regulator sword.

Now we're talking! Something for the apocalypse.

That's an unusual handle and guard that Jerry put on the "Battle Pappy" Bowie, but nice none the less. It doesn't have the exposed full tang like most of his blades, but it is still comfortable.

How about a Dog Fighter.

Imagine a HOT DIGGITY DOG DAGGER with an sharp 7" blade and slightly more pronounced Corrugated Bevel Technology, sporting a Regulator handle.

Special Edition 1111 with asymmetrical edge.

My favorite chopping knife to date is an asymmetrical B11. The heavier 1111 with asymmetrical edge would be unstoppable.

Another great idea!

What does Dan think?

Johnny, sounds like you might be on board for the 5" Hot Diggity Dog Dagger - Boot Knife / Throwing knife.

Yeah but I want both edges razor sharp and not for opening cans.

Johnny, you could sharpen them yourself. MANY jurisdictions do now allow for "Double edged daggers". That is why so many knives that LOOK double edged are only in fact ground sharp on one side.

You're right.

I like your sig-lines Randy!

At least Jerry is offering discounted Busse Bucks That will hold me over for a bit, in preparation for the B8.

Yeah they're pretty cool huh.

There ya' go Ishi!

Dan, Your mission should you choose to accept it, is to Infiltrate the janitors closet and acquire the top secret plans for the Busse Basic 8. You will need at least a case of Bourbon to distract the janitor and make your escape. Once the plans are in hand, you will need to intercept one of Jerry's INFI shipments and grind as many Scrap Yard 811's as you can, all before Jerry sobers up. As always, should any member of your team be caught or killed, I guess we'll just go back to waiting 2 weeks.

Not the dreaded two weeks!!!!!

Even if Dan attempted Mission 811 it would still take 2 weeks.

Good grief!

I'm out of new ideas, but I like the idea RN had of a skinny SS4.

Since Jerry won't release the B-8, maybe Dan should release the Mission 8-11.

That's a good looking Bowie that you have there. I like!!

And the table isn't looking too bad either!!

And what's the knife that's just below with the maroon bolsters?

Just another knife that he had and I liked.

thats a huge sucker!

Dang! I was really hoping Dan would have brought something by now...

MM

Aren't we ALL?!!!?

Three months and counting...

MM

Well, Blade is less than 6 months away.

Whatever you do, don't do nothing.

Call Trissy and check on my custom Ratmandu.

I have been forced to buy other brands of knives since Busse isn't providing some.

3.5 months have come and gone since this thread was started. While I remain convinced of the Big Dog listening...he sure isn't talking. Communication has been slow, and it shows in the lack of activity on the board.

I'm raising a glass, hoping things pick up around here.

The lack of communication IS disturbing!

He has been MIA for 3 months come Sunday. That's a long time for Dan to have not popped in for something.

"The Brotherhood" is missing its biggest Brother!

Perhaps he is currently sneaking into Jerry's shop to acquire some sweet, sweet Infi for us!

One could only hope!

We may have to substitute Dan for Waldo.

Usually Dan comes through when he throws up a ball. But this time, he sure takes his sweet time catching that ball...

Taking thing things in perspective; the new business profile of Bussekin must leave much less capacity for fun projects for us.

All we can do, is wait and dull our nerves this other brands.

I have the new Lionsteel T.R.E. in my sights

Jerry finally popped off with a hint on Bladeforums...can Dan be far behind?

LOL, I got confirmation that Dan is still alive and well just busy at the shop.

I saw that at the Swamp. I hope that he stops by here.

Come on...I need to buy something as long as the €uro is still worth something...almost lost 20% already when exchanging

Hopefully the B-8 will be ready soon.

Or the "Free 8"

Well, I wouldn't count on THAT!

*yawn*


MM

Looking like we will have to wait for a CupidGanza before the next offering.

Someone here (Randy, perahps) was tracking the timeline statistics of new releases. Wonder how long it's been now..? Maybe not that long, but since I haven't been consumed by any of the latest, it seems like a long time.

Here's to hoping for the future!

The future will be here before you know it!

Didn't read all the posts but a Kukri or parang would be sick.... Cleaver?

At this stage of the game a little communication from Dan would be appreciated!

i'd like to see some older offerings brought to the store

I'd like to see some giant mutant robots battling it out in a pit of jello.

I would rather see some voluptuous young women battling it out in a pit of Jello!

Uh, you earthlings got some strange customs.

True that!

It helps to make life interesting!

MM

Hopefully something will be released next week; sounds possible looking at Jerry's post over at B/F.

i want a new yard release bad. its been awhile for me.

It has been a while for ALL of us!

I still think something should be done for the 10k people. Their loyalty and dedication should be rewarded.

Ya better get a postin Spidy!

Good advice!

I think we should still hear something about the million post march

That WOULD be nice!

Yeah a lot of folks put in some serious time to get us where we are today.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

A lot of folks are making up for it now.

Honestly, the lack of communication is a big reason I've eased out of the Yard. Too many empty promises to suit me.

I still check in from time to time but rarely post just because of that reason.

You wanna feel REALLY lonely, hang out in the Swamp!

Does the Swamp also get any special items for ordering?

The swamp is slow but there is a core 4 or 5 that keep it going. Plus they have a rep from Ohio that makes pointy sharp stuff there every day.

We have 4 or 5 that post regularly here but we are have been missing one thing lately.

I used to hang out here because it was really nice to be able to talk with the guy that made the things we loved to buy and use.

The Yard REALLY needs to hear something from Dan!!!

What is this Dan you speak of?

He's the one who started this forum, and seemed happy and proud of it, and made all of us proud to belong. Seems he forgot about The Brotherhood of The Yard.

Oh yeah that guy. Man I totally forgot about him!

I REALLY don't understand his absence, unless there is something majorly wrong in his life.

Even if there is something going on, someone should let us know. Renee posts here from time to time, and even Jerry has an account.

The lack of communication is inexcusable.

So, to answer Dan's question: "What should I do?" I think the answer is "show up and chat with us."

Well stated D/T!

Has anyone tried to contact him for a sip and talk?

Jared did about a year ago.... #crickets

But Renee said he´s doing ok...

He's still MIA though.

Perhaps he is cooking up something really, really good and he wants us to be stirred up when he announces it.

I still wish he would drop a hint or something.

I am also a little surprised and disappointed to see no Yard offerings in the Ganzaaaaa. Maybe fewer MO offerings with the drawdown?

Agreed it was a bit strange and disappointing to not have any yard offerings in this ganza.

I sure hope so...but I´m loosing hope somehow too...

Maybe he's been considering what to make this whole time...but we'd like to hear about it.

How about a yard forum only ganza? A nice reward for all us loyal members?

Nice idea, but apparently nobody to listen to it.

Tom you could offer up your collection

Or trade it for a new pickup truck!

that would be pawesome

ONLY one!

I see what you did there

You are an observant little squirrel!

It's my X-Ray vision

Hey, maybe you could get a part time job working for the TSA!

He could check all the kids' bags!

I work for peanuts....I'll fit right in working for the government

never asked...is there any discount for federal firefighters as there is with some other knife producers?
