Difference between Scrap Muk and Scrap Muk LE

What are the differences between Scrap Muk and Scrap Muk LE?

I only remember the Muk LE, I don't recall a coated version.

it was 154CM and satin finish.

That's a pity becuse it is truely a great knife!
Let's hope for another incarnation of it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Maybe in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" />!

True, the next Muk release is likely to come from Busse.

Thank you to all that responded. Steve

The Muk is not numbered, and has a black Mudder grip.
The Muk L.E. is numbered, and has a silver-gray Mudder grip.

The Bird Dog was also produced in a non-L.E. version, too. Unlike the non-L.E. Muk, it is sans the 154 CM etch.

If that's the case, why are any of them numbered at all?

Even though Bird Dogs weren't sold through the company store, that fact alone doesn't quantify the number produced. Only actual production numbers can support how limited a model truly is.

wouldn't the wiener dog be the lowest production knife in the scrapyard family? it being a ganzaa only knife and sold out very fast at that.

just to brag i got one of each of the 154cm knives produced save the mud puppy.(muk, bird dog, wiener dog)

All of these knives were in fact produced and released.

It's only the availability; the when, where, and how that differs.
If obtained at a knife show, through the company store, or via a Ganza, all HAD to be produced and released to be sold.

i maybe spliting hairs here by i always thought a production knife was when more than one was produced. but like you said ymmv.

as for the truth of the matter the only one who really knows how many of each knfe was produced and which one is the rarest, is dan, and i'm quite happy with that.


as the policman said move along, there's nothing to see here.

Wherever there is confusion there is money to be made!!!!!

Weren't the Scrapmuks offered to the JYD's numbered with their JYD number?
I got mine with my dog #

Scrap Muk



Scrap Muk LE and Rat Trap




The LE has a number and a gray handle. Otherwise, they are the same.

I was a bit confused. I had researched the difference and could only find the Muk LE. Now by no means am I criticizing or trying to tell the Busse's how to run what seems to me a very, very successful business with a loyal and considerate following, myself included; but in my experience a limited edition has been offered after the release of the original model. Thanks again to everyone for clearing this up for me. I want a Muk or Muk LE.
Dot D - That's a beauty of a sheath, who made it?

the muk le was the orginal release. the muk with the black handle and unnumbered is knife show special

As Bruce noted, you could request your JYD # so long as it was higher than the number(s) you'd receive by sequential processing of orders. So, if you would have gotten #6, you could have substituted #62, but if you would have gotten #62, you couldn't get #6 (because it was allocated to an earlier order already).

DoD's sheath looks like it was probably made by Jeff Law (Rainwalker). He's a favorite at this forum -- that doesn't mean that others don't do great work too, but Jeff's one of us (JYD #35).
