The Son of Dog father will be priced in the following way:

The Tan model will be $119.95 + shipping and handling

Sweet sweet news Dan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Here here!!!

Not too bad at all!! Thanks Dan!

Dan, do the CG and LE models have the same grind and weight?

the 10" CGDF is heavier than the LE, just wondering if the same goes for the new model.

Well hell, if that ain't a good deal there's just not one to be had! I'll be buying at least one of each, and maybe even a couple of each of the CGs at that price.

I will glady pay $40 for somebody else to do the hand finishing. Great price, Dan. It's LE for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Now the big question....WHEN?

Was thinking the same thing???

Sounds great, I'm in

Dan,

Has anyone ever told you you're beautiful. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's a very nice price. I'll still need to sell something to buy it, but the inexpensive pricing makes it easier.

Cheers.

"I was thinking more along the line of $129.95 for the CG's and $159.95 for the LE's"

I wasn't off by much <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'll be ordering a black one when the time comes.

So, from your experience as a SY owner and knife grinder you would prefer the satin?

I'm still trying to decide.

I see one of each in my future!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Holy cow! I'm in.

Very nice pricing Dan, thank you.

I'm in for Tans and Blacks.

The wife is glaring at me already.
Every time I get happy while looking at this web site the credit card gets scortch marks on it.


Sweet, SWEET blades, Dan.
Thanks for coming through.

I so want to do that too.

Arrrgh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

But then I think, I could justify it more if I picked just one, and grabbed whatever's offered next time.

On the other hand... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

VERY VERY NICE.... Now I just need to get the money together!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

ha ha ha my wife must be related to yours. She hates my habits.

She buys clothes I buy knives, that's fare isn't it. So what if I need some new threads. Steel in real & it lasts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> . O yeah, I guess I do buy clothes, off Rainwalker <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thats a real nice price!! Thanks Dan!! I'll take an LE.

I prefer the satin. It is easy for me to maintain with a scotchbrite buffing wheel. I don't care for a mirror polish. It shows every scratch and fingerprint. The painted ones are easier to maintain than a mirror finish. I have noticed that the paint is getting better all the time. It is quite durable. You can scrub it pretty hard to clean it and the coating stays intact. If I was in the military, I'd get a coated one. Mostly, I just like the look of the satin finish. Ooooh, bright and shiny. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

good luck dawgs

Awesome. Now I have to decide which one to get.

Tan please..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />






Peace.

WOW! Freakn' awesome! I can't wait.

[censored] those look good ,I am going to get a LE as a little brother for my DFLE and
a CG to strip and thinn out the edge as a user. I love my DFLE but I have even thought of selling it because I just can't bring myself to scar her up.
I probably could if I did not have a user SH-E though.

The LE in the photo ,#24 has my JYD number.

I use my DFLE more than my other choppers. It still looks pretty good to me. If anything, the LEs show less wear than the coated blades.

Great prices! I like satin too as it gives me the option of making it "like new" with a bit of buffing.

LevelEdge - Howdy and Welcome to the ScrapYard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> You sure picked a good time to join us - three models to choose from. You lucky Dog!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Such a hearty post from our Leader. I cant wait to get the black CG SOD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> THIS baby is going to the sandbox with me, or Afghanistan, wherever I end up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

No need! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Even at $0.90 exchange that is still a very good price for us canucks

Thanks so much for reminding us of just how good the "performance to price ratio" tradition of ScrapYard Knives really is!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm really looking forward to this Scrapper!!! Even more now! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I am having a hard time deciding between the SODLE or the back one or both.
Money is tight and I already have a custom bowie on the way so I may just get the one SODle to match my DFLE.

I usually agree with HornDog on the LE but this is a bit harder with the SOD because they are both full flat grinds unlike the Dogfather. Also like a lot of people money is tight recently. I may not even get one at all though I am sure I will kick myself later if I don't just like I do with the S6LE. The thing is I have a nice 8 inch flat ground Steel heart Ergo and a Rosarms SN Bayonet which is a great 7,1/2 inch do everything bowie knife.

Cool, cool, cool. LE for me and just mebbe a tan. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Welcome Level Edge. I heard recurves have more fun. But then there are all those recurve jokes to deal with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Money is tight for me as well. But I still have to serrate the Nuke EDC and send the NMFBM CG to Ban for some work. I have dropped all hobbies and pleasures. What? Take my wife to a dinner and a movie? Not until I get my fill of steel! Recurves are nice, but the YH just doesn't chop as I thought it would. Outside of a fighter, no recurves for me...

where did we hear this? did i miss that post?

That hasnt been stated yet.

this knife could use the extra weight, i think.

I for one would like a saber grind. I dont have one and they just look cool.

.250 is a good thickness and the sabre grind would be sweet!

If I order two knives, would that be 1x or 2x the shipping & handling charges?

Well, a little more than I'd hoped they'd go for (My Jewish-Scottish heritage always tries to pinch the pennies <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />), but I'm still hoping to save up enough to order the LE and Tan.

So what is wrong with a full flat grind? I love a full flat grind. Put a nice little convex edge on it and you are good to go. With a full 1/4" spine thickness, the blade is plenty strong. Unless you just want a bit more weight with the saber grind.

I love a full flat grind as well but would like to add a saber grind to my collection.

Yes! I'm in!

with dan taking pre-orders i wonder if they window will be open for a set period of time, or until he has all the orders he thinks he can produce in a reasonable time frame. this could be the biggest selling knife of SY history.

yup.

Need to find out how long the ordering process will be. I need some time to get the $$ together (and hidden from the wife)

Not a bad price, just got my order in for 2.

kick the tires and light the fires big daddy.......i got mine.......god bless one and all......

Vic is right, a quarter of an inch thickness is beastly <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And I love it!!! I love thick knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The SOD is going to be one of my favorite knives I have ever owned I am thinking.... I still am going to be getting another S6 though. It will take one hell of a knife to unseat the mighty Scrapper 6, but from the looks of it, the SOD might be able to do it

Man I like Dam's new way of offerings, it definitely helps out for people like me that work odd ball shifts. Also it gives everybody a fair opportunity to score vs hanging out watching a clock. Thanks once again Dan, Patty and Renee...

I'm in for a LE as well.

The funny thing is, I've complained about the way things were in the past, and raved about how they are now...

But I'm sure I was one of the first to place an order and if they were doing it the old way I would have my knife a lot sooner. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Ironic.

I still love the new plan, don't get me wrong. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Oh yes, but it took another Dog Father! This new Son of Dogfather rocks!

This reminds me of the movie "all dogs go to heaven", I got my order in , and I'm on my way. Thanks to Dan and Renee. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm not sure whether it will better my S6, that's tough. I suppose it's how you use it. But my son sure will try <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> . This SOD is his. I ended up settling for a SR Chopweiler, that I've been eyeing off down my way. Always wanted a SRCW, maybe the best of both worlds <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! I love the new ordering system. Being on dial up, waiting to pounce just did not work out. Now I have an order for a tan model.

son of dog father...so it's dog?

still no word on the weights and grinds?

LevelEdge - I feel your pain concerning dial-up - my server only runs at 28.8kps! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm on dialup too.

I was on a BlackBerry when I learned of the release. Dial-up is way fast compared to EDGE...

*SOB* <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" /> I have to wait until I find out how much my truck repairs are gonna cost me! The damned thing decided to die on me now of all things!

Oh no!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Freakin' alternator AND the starter both! Talk about the opposite of 4 leaf clover luck! Aaaargghh! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I'm having my buddy tow it to my home tomorrow, I'm gonna buy the parts refurbished (better warranty on refurbished anyway), and he an I are gonna install them in the truck ourselves. We're both fairly decent with repair work, and worse comes to worse, I've got the Haynes manual as a reference just in case. Fortunately, I own one of the Chev 2000 model S10s with the 4x4 lift, so there's plenty of room to get at the gear underneath. It'll be an interesting Thanksgiving weekend, to say the least!

All in all, I'l probably have to wait til next pay to get just ONE of the two SODs that I wanted to get, either the LE or the Tan.

You know you have about 6 weeks to pay for it, right? You can order now, if you can have all the money then.

Yeah, true.... let's see a Tan, an LE, and S&H is $24.95 to Canada, convert that to Canadian funds, plus add at least $60 in duty to pay at the post office.... that's roughly $411 at todayss exchange rate.

Alright, if they don't pull the money out for 6 weeks, and provided the repairs to the truck don't cost too much, I should hopefully be able to squeeze myself the purchase. I'll know for sure once I've got the truck up and running after this weekend. Fingers crossed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

LOL, my truck died as well. The clutch finally went after 250,000 miles and took a few things with it. I parked it in the garage and I'm either riding my bike to work or walking. It's only 5 miles or so. I haven't felt this good in years and I know if I fix the truck I'll stop walking/riding. I may not fix it for awhile, esp. if the Busse family keeps coming out with new knives.

Sadly, I live over 60 kilometers from work, and getting up at say 3 in the morning to bike to work, to do an hour of exercise on top of that at the base, just isn't very appealing right now.... especially with the first signs of winter starting to show.

Plus, deer season is here, and kinda need the truck to get out to the hunting area and also to bring my catch back.

Well I have a collection agency after me wanting $742 for a $159 ticket I forgot to pay a few months back. That is $583 lost to the gub'ment and $583 less I have to use to buy more knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> ...

That's not good adamlau.

Can you still take it to court? The judge normally discount those kind of things.

Nope. Too late when it gets to collections...

As far as the grinds, the combat grade SOD's have a saber grind and the LE's have a full height grind. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

YESS!!! Just what I've been waiting to hear. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sabers,Oh yeah!

Could someone explain the differences between saber and full height grind? Advantages?

Thanks.

Saber grind is #3 and full height grind is #2.

The bevel for a saber grind knife starts around the middle and tapers down to the edge, giving it a more obtuse angle.

Full Height grind tapers from the spine down to the edge.

There's both advantages and disadvantages for both grinds. Saber grinds are generally heavier due to have more steel in the middle, therefore it is tougher; and full height grinds are lighter and cut better due to the more acute angle.

For me, I don't mind the extra weight of saber grind and the extra bit of toughness, plus it's a better base if I ever plan to fully convex it, #6.

Thanks for the info Mr Pink

Mr Pink, what's #1.... full pencil grind? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Thanks a lot Mr Pink for a good and clear response. And thanks too to tyger to make me laugh. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Give me a flat going full height...I want a cutter!

Hahahah. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

What is a full pencil grind ?

Hahah, it's called a hollow grind, think of it as the opposite of a convex grind, it concaves (hollow) in.

Check out the first picture. Hollow and convex grind in one knife.
http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthread...e=0&fpart=1

Now I now how the blade was ground...Sweet!

a saber grind that starts half way down the blade is often more obtuse. the busse saber grind is a very high saber grind. my choppweiler has a saber grind that starts a quarter way down the spine. I think the edges could be made to be very close in thickness. a lot of blades that are full flat grinds are more narrowa, so with the wide design of the sod it will be as sharp or could be as sharp as another full flat grind like the dmdc or maybe the S6. I would have to know blade width to be sure. not thickness but width of the blade.the choppweiler is incredible and has a saber grind. the sarsquatch is the same length with a full flat grind. in the sod I want the saber. S7 is not cutlery steel and is a poor choice for a slicer. don't kill me but S7 is tool steel. I love the cgyk but for slicing I go cpm154, 154cm, other stainless, 52100, 1095 and others, not in that order.

Spielberg likes his S7 bowie and I ain't gonna argue with the man...

ha ha
I like it.

funny stuff

I wouldn't argue with Lucas and his d/b either! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Not to be a critical or technical but 3 is actually a scandi grind because it is a dual single bevel or simply a simple bevel but not to be confused with 4 which is a single bevel (meaning only one grind on one side) chisel grind.

Number 5 is the saber and most grind these days include a second bevel which is very different from a scandi. Also, I think Pink did state that the saber grinds can vary from knife type to knife type. 3/4, 7/8, 1/2, etc., etc..

Yeah you're right. The picture isn't really accurate, most full flat grind (2) have a bevel too but they didn't show it. It's just a very simplified diagram, but thanks for pointing that out.

Looks like I can unstick this thread.

Phase: 1 SODs are down
Phase 2: Play time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
