New WAR Dog Offering

Dogs:

I had to drink a lot of Blue with Boss Hog to get my hands on this scrap INFI steel but the hangovers were worth it. This knife is willing and ready since it sports a newly designed Resiprene C handle. The ScrapYard War Dog has a .235" thick full height flat ground INFI steel blade. The hand applied satin finished blade features a blended convex zero-edge for excellent cutting power and strength. This combination provides an incredible feel that you will not want to put down. It is priced at $179.95 plus shipping and handling. There is a limited number so when they are gone they are gone.

Here are the specs for the War Dog

Overall Length: 9 3/4"
Blade Length: 5"
Steel: INFI
Hardness: 58-60 RC
Grind: Full Height Flat Grind
Weight: 6.2 ounces

Expect this to go up on the site today or worst case tomorrow. Best of luck getting in on this one

Can't wait to see this one.

That's awesome! Can't wait to see pics of this one. I'm definitely in. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

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

It seems like I´m going to be a proud owner of genuine Scrap Yard knife! Will there be a seath available also?

Please be today off on a camping trip tonight.

My kind of grind and if that is the Regulator handle I am so in


Oh and pics please

[color:"red"] What... No pics!!!!! [/color] <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds awesome Dan, let see it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm in for a couple! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Sweet!!!! Can't wait!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

If you're taking pre-orders, put me in for two! Someone's got to look out for SF45ACP while he's out catching trout. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Oh ya baby!!!
I love SCRAPYARD INFI!!!!!

I'm a little confused on the blended zero convex when it says FFG. Convex edges arn't my friend havnt learned how to sharpen one yet. At any rate I really really hope I don't miss out on this.

Cool. I will be looking for pics and more info.

Wow, read specs before price. Didn't think I could possibly afford another, but wait price performance ratio WOW!!

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

Sounds pretty cool, can't wait to see the pics.

All those pages of excitement and it seems like everyone just left for an early Memorial Day vacation without seeing the release.

I think the War Dog is a fitting tribute to all men in uniform that made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I think they would like some pics also.

Heres a Photo

Sweeeeet, can't wait to see a picture. I'm in and thanks for the good news Dan. Oops there's the picture,beautiful.

Awesome. Really excited for pics!

So are you really saying that will leave more for you............ LOL

I thought it was fitting and the time seemed right to me

Enjoy

Dan

That new handle looks SPIFFY!

Wow, too late on the post... Shoulda refreshed!

SPIFFY would be a good name for a Dog...I'll have to remember that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

The handle brings a new approach for Res C and it is amazing how it feels in the hand

Dan

SNAP!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

WoW that will be mine!!!!!!

How deep is it? Looks like a sweet handle too

Please today otherwise I may need a proxy!

How deep??? wide?

Dan

interesting...

cool, it'd be interesting to see side-by-side pics of it next to the S5. the new handles look pretty sweet.

Not thick, but from Blade to top.

The handle looks like a streamlined Regulator handle

I really like the shape of the guard on the front of the handle. I am happy I started hanging out here on the forums <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AAAHHHHHHHH! I Hope I can get an order in. If I knew it was gonna be up on the site today, I would have called in sick to work, and spent the day refreshing the shop page!

Come to daddy Spiffy!

Who's a good War Dog!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well,I was disapointed it wasn't a chopper.
Then you put up the pic.
WOW!!

The War Dog is beautiful!!!
I've been looking for this knife for several years.
Love the blade profile & the new handle is awesome.
I'd have been happy with any of the other bussekin steels,but Infi is the icing on the cake.
Hope I can get my mits on one.

The blade width...spine to edge is 1 inch.

Dan

SAAAAWeeeeeet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> My 5" Fighter, just like I asked for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
Now I just gotta sit here and refresh all day. Lucky I have it off.

LOL


Dan

That is awesome!!!
Looks like a perfect EDC!!
I hope that I can get one.

Dan it looks great, I'm in!
Thanks

Perfect! I am liking it more and more if that is possible.

Yep,love the 1" hight.

And the handle,kind'a dereg inspired.

Perfect! I am liking it more and more if that is possible. [/quote]


A funny note....I handle knives all day long...very cool!!! but I cant seem to put this one down. The new designed handle is... well hard to put down <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Dan

That handle is gonna be a winner!

Nice lookin Blade, Dan!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Kinda reminds me a little of a Bushcraft knife too, only more robust, which I like! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

BRING IT!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yea! A Bushcraft Fighter, I Love it!

Dan, is payment gonna be due at the time of order or is a Dog gonna have a little time to fund it?

Just need to keep moving this picture down to make it easier for me to keep oogleing it.

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

So the handle is a little shorter than a muddler if my math is right

This Bad Boy would be at home in the Kitchen to. I better get one for the wife also. Yes Honey I was thinking of you, yea thats it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The more I look at the handles, the more I like. Can't wait to see this handle on future knives.

I like the lack of a thumb ramp too.
The lines are perfect on the War Dog.

Very nice! May miss out on this but it sure is a beaut.

I wasn´t impressed by the looks of the knife. Robust looking is just what I thought too. I think this knife possess a great amount of performance. There are knives that you can show off and knives that you can rely our life on. Very appealing knife. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

It is very close to being the 5" bushcraft knife I voted for in the poll earlier. Not a true bushcraft but close. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Very nice. Can't wait to get one or more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

It's one that will have a lot of utility which is what I look for...rather than being cool looking but not very useable. I have the Scrapizshi and love it but I'll likely NEVER use it (Unless zombies attack). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Myke, I agree. Looks like the handle has just a bit of palm swell to it also <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hope this isn't too limited. Lets feed all the Dogs that are hungry. Them Hogs like to ,well Hog all the Infi, so keep it quiet!

I may need a proxy here, I'll be headed to work in a few hours.

Nice work, Dan! We cretainly appreciate you having to suffer through all of the hours of drinking JW Blue with the Boss Hog to score the INFI, I'm sure you hated it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It sounds like a great knife - unfortunately I can log on at work (where i am now) but they block the pictures!

I'll have a link open all day to the order page but, even without pictures I am going for one.

I may have to start bringing a laptop to work.

I wish I knew if you have to pay today. Because if we dont I will jump on one today, otherwise I am out of the run.

Man that's awesome. Lokks like a nice stabber. And INFI to boot. I like it Dan.

It reminds me of an improved Dumpster Mutt. Bit slimmer, updated design (more bod-doggish), new handle, and INFI!! Loving it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Just wanted to make sure the photo was on page 4!!!!

Awesome! If I personally requested a custom knife, this might be it.

Typically, you don't pay untill it ships. Buy it and you won't be sorry.

I was planning on getting my truck emissions tested today. Oh well, there are more important things in life.

When I first saw it I thought to myself "Bog Dog". Very Cool!

I wonder if Dan could fabricate a butcher block to hold eight of these...
How sick would it be to have these on the counter next to all of my wifes potterybarn crap!

So a little shorter overall length than the S5 and bunch thicker.


I like the new handle design. Could see that coming out on a regular basis.

WAR DOGS by slack babbath!


Busse's gathered in the masses
Just like DOGS at blade madness
Brilliant minds that plot INFI-struction
Sorcerers of knife construction
in the wallets moneys burning
as the "WAR DOG" keeps heads turning

OH LORD YES!!!!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

PUT IT UP DAN!!!!

AND THANKS!!!!

I'll have that in my head all day, AWESOME!

And lighter, should be a great slicer/fighter.

You will need to pay at the time of shippment...when the credit cards are charged. I suspect we will ship shortly after Blade Show if everything goes right....does this help?

Dan

Thats too funny, I love it!

Ha! I love that song...by Sabbath and the remake by Faith No More. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Great job with the lyric changes. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very Cool


Thanks

Dan

That is what we needed to know!!
Thanks Dan!!!

Dan -- WOW!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I think I'm going to need a couple of WarDogs! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

YES INDEEDY IT DOES! Now I can order two or three <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I assume a PMO will work? Can a dog be cut a little slack time to get the money in the mail? I'll probably be hitting the road for a week or so for work shortly after Blade ends, which will be right about the time these things ship. Will need to get to the Post Office after I get back.

OH BOY I AM SALIVATING!

I Like the shallow sweep of the belly, for me, it makes it a whole lot easier to sharpen on a strop. It maybe that i'm not that great on a strop, but i always have trouble where the edge starts to curve on deeper bellied convex blades.

Glad it's coming convexed. Saves me some trouble <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

THANK YOU DAN!!!

+1
Thanks Big Dog!!!

I love it! Looks like Scrap Yard's version of a Randall.....I can't miss out on this one!

Thank you Dan!

Helps alot big dog thanks! Now here's to hoping they arn't sold out before I can get one.

And with the ResC handles! I am not going to have any money to go to Blade with this beauty

That's the only trouble for me lol I don't know how to sharpen convex. Freehand yes but so for null on the convex. This will be my motivation though!

leather strop w/compound and follow the bark river tutorials, not hard at all.

Mousepad and sandpaper works fairly well. There are tons of Youtube Videos on how to. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Since it is allready convexed for you, it should be a simple matter to maintain.

Looks nice.

STEELEY! BRO! HOW MANY TIMES WE BEEN OVER THIS???? Get a strop. Watch the vids. It is so much easier than freehand sharpening with a stone (in my opinion <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> )

Sand paper/mouse pad works too. I just reprofiled my first blade that way. A Gerber Freeman in S30V that had an insanely dull edge and a wickedly squirrely secondary bevel. The mouse pad worked well--reprofiled as I sat through one sitcom. Now I'm trying to get it sharp. Probably could've taken it down to a much finer grit paper but I'm trying to strong arm it on a strop with the aggressive abrasive <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> May go back to paper for a bit. S30V is some hard stuff to work with!

All this is tangential of course since the WAR DOG has a CONVEX SECONDARY BEVEL! Woo Hoo!

I just keep hitting "refresh" and still no blade <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Ditto. I'm lucky I found time to dress and feed myself this morning.

Yeah, I need to go to the store to get "food" for my "family." Don't these people know I have more important things to do???? Like fuel my longing for Res-C goodness????

You mean, Res-C INFI Goodness!

I'm so distracted at work right now. i can't wait to get out of here!

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> I'm Hoping Dan doesn't have it released till I get off Work! (0130 Zulu) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Please? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

since my knife budget is so tight, i think im gonna have to pass one this one for this reason - i have a dumpster mutt and use it for everything id use the war dog for, so the dumpster mutt would just sit around doing nothing, and its held up to everything ive thrown at it.. plus i have a nice custom sheath for it.. so no ill wait and get my chopper eventually XD

I'm tight until June sadly! If (?) I can fund it then I'll be there!! Great looking blade! Love my INFI S5's too!!!
Thanks Dan for bringing this!!

Bump, just so we can look at it again.

I had a DMDC and have a S5LE. I loved the full flat grind on the DM and the S5 is sweat but a saber grind. I think the War Dog will be the perfect combo of the two. Plus I have been debating hard about giving up the S5LE and I think this bad boy maybe more my taste.

I EDC The DMDC, and Feel like I could use it as a prybar. With the 1 inch narrowness of the war dog, i dunno about it being a prybar. I think i could edc the war dog, and use the DMDC as a camp, hiking knife. or a work knife, If only they let us carry knives at work (>_<)

I guess my reason for buying this is It would be my first piece of INFI, and it's a new handle <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

If you can possibly swing it I recommend doing so. I have passed on a few and regretted almost everyone of them and the sad thing is I only get out to use them on a few occasions but the war dog might be my new edc.

Dan,
First of all THANK YOU!!!!
Any chance you can work your magic for some mash cat kydex? This spectacular blade you have made for us needs some nice pants. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

JerseyBob, this is going to be VERY limited. Order now and you won't pay until it ships in mid to late June. Order or you'll miss it.

I really like the new grip shape and realized I've seen something similar and that is the SRK by cold steel. I've always been drawn to that knife but never got one, now with Dan's infi and Res-c I think this could be one of the hottest releases. It's a shame it will be a limited run, I hope all of us that want one can get one.

I can't even see the pictures and I know I'm going to order at least one (hopefully). It will be my first INFI and the spec's read great.

Its 3:11 in California and its not up yet....hopefully it will be when I get home in 2 or 3 hrs.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> no yelling haha. Yah strop need to gt one. Freehand sharpening took me about a total of 4 hours to be able to get knives sharp enough to push cut phonebook paper.

Hey guys, where can you get some kydex for this blade?

Should take less time learning with a strop. The free vids on knivesshipfree are really informative in explaining the how and why.

Bring on the WAR DOG!

I'm sure the usual suspects will provide as soon as they get thiers.

Nice.

How bout a 154CM version for $99 ?

Maybe Dan can work another sweet deal for some kydex for the pound

I'm seeing an SR77 combat grade version in the future for $79 or $89.

Hmm I am hovering BF already seen some ridiculous deals go down.

I think a leather pouch sheath might be the deal for this one!

I'm sure you'll have a few options once they're delivered, I know I'll be making some. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The War Dog reminds me of a Military dagger almost.

Thanks!

Rainwalker, I just checked out your gallery. Very nice work. I like your leather as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'd like to see a comparison pic next to something like the Scrapper 5.

Thanks for the complement. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure I'll be making leather for the War Dog as well, the wait will be a lot longer though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I prefer leather myself. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Mine will have leather eventually. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

i have a scrapivore on the way to me as an edc so i probably wont P:

Will a non Infi, CG version be offered?

Needed the pic up again

OK Dan, I think were all home now. Bring it!!!

That is a phenomenal looking blade Dan! Beautifully done. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I've been sitting here all day. My butt is tired <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> and the wife is getting suspicious! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Dan, go eat some dinner, take a breather, get some sleep if you need--it's been a long haul getting ready for Blade. Take it easy brother. We'll all be ok without the new relase until tomorrow.

I Ain't Home yet! I got one more plane to load. gimme another hour and a half! sorry guys, it's 15:45 my time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Hahaha, I've been sneaking into the break room whenever i can just to check the shop. If my co-workers found out what i was doing, they'd probably think me pathetic, or weird...

Now, is the War Dog limited in number only or is also going to be a Limited Edition too?

My guess is not an LE. Dan has put pictures of blades with numbers in the past if it was an LE.

Look at the Scrapivore no numbers in pic no numbers on the blade.

Does any of that make sense? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

There's no rule that one time offers have to be numbered.

I could be wrong(ask my wife) but I read it to be limited number because of it being infi.

Ah ha that makes more sense.

New guess is probably a one time shot, with a very small chance of a CG coming out.

But you never know

Sorry Sethro, I should have clarified my question.

I need to pry my self away from the computer. I can't wait to go to the bathroom much longer. Hurry Hurry Hurry

Put a bucket near your computer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />...................... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

wait, so to order I send an email with pertinant info once it shows up on the site?

I assume it will show up on the Shopping cart page.

or do I have to go through the site?

maybe Ill do both!

I thought that was SOP <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Tobo, you just put it in the cart from the store page, unless this is different from all the rest. If you need to pay with a PMO, I believe you send an email to that effect.

Better not chance firing up the barbeque, guess it's gonna be a pizza night.

kk.

and I add just one shipping charge for multiple knives?

Not sure you need to add the shipping charge unless you are in a foreign country...oh wait, SoCal...I guess you might need that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Can you still buy knives in Kalifornia?

I can wear a scrapizashi on my belt in public in Cali.

Or a 12" folder concealed in my pocket or bag(or any size folder in my pocket for that matter, as long as the pocket or bag is big enough)

no autos > 2" in public, no concealed fixed blades.

Did a mock checkout. guess theres the Standard shipping charge.

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

I like the handle design, but I'm fiending for a chopper at the moment, and (un)fortunately I have a trip to Puerto Rico in the works, so I won't be able to afford one... GAH!

It sure is purty!

Now That I Look at it, it reminds me of a mini SOG Agency Knife

LOL, that was funny.

ECF, that's one more I get to buy <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Have fun on the trip!

I'm gonna check out in a bit. I'm actually hoping the Boss Dog went home for some much deserved rest.

Okay Dan, I'm Home! you can release the Hound!

It'll be there in the morning

will it?

Morning? If you had to guess, what time? (zulu)

I'm new and inexperienced, but the way I've seen busse time translate into real time, I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't get put up on the website until tomorrow afternoon. Kinda like a good marinade.

As Long as it happens befor i go to work,(1630 my time) cuz once i get there i won't have a break:(

D-Math, are you a loadmaster?

No Sir, well, not in the military sense, but i do load planes <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Why?

Oh, I just saw you we're in Anchorage, were talking about loading jets and referring to zulu time.

Yeah, Being in anchorage, my time zone is pretty off compared most of the other dogs, I use Zulu Time at work, and I figure it simplifies things for everyone, asuming everyone else uses zulu time.

D-Math works for a large drug cartel "loading planes." It's why he's so cryptic and defensive <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Haha. In the ATC world my life changes to zulu the moment I get in the tower and switches back when I go home.

Whatchu Talkin 'Bout DT. I don't work for no drug cartel, you know nothin' man!

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

Bring it Dan. before my F5 key give up! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dave? Dave's not here.

Very cool looking blade. The thickness will be something interesting to see. Hopefully I will be able to snag one as it screams semi-bush to me.

Yep. Looks like a keeper alright. Right at home in the pack, building shelters, making fires, etc, etc,...

I wish I had an ap on my phone that linked to the shop, and an alarm would go off when the new blade was added <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

There is a program that does that. Can't remember the name of it. There are a few.

Yeah the name of the progam is "CHEATING" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Do you know that F5 is the most used key on my keyboard? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Haha, i didn't know what that did untill i just tried it, that makes things so much easier!

Do you know why F5 is the most frequently broken key on my keyboards?

Yea I didn't even know what the f5 key was about until I got into Bussekin.

Suppose I could get a prize for sitting here since 9:30 this morning? No, I'm beginning to think I'm a little obsessive compulsive.
GLAD I'm not alone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah thats the one,CS SRK.
I always wanted one until I found Bussekins.
This'll be even better,infi & res c.
Glad I never pulled the trigger on one.
I'll surley pull the trigger on the War Dog though.
I even sold my S5 & BogDog just to make sure I can get one or two.
Dan really suprised me with this one.
I'm already thinking of shortening the finger guard a bit.Just a little bit.
I'm not saying I don't like the finger guard,just wondering what it would look like a little shorter.
I wonder if there is metal under the res c in the guard.Hmmmmm,probably not.

That is pretty darn dedicated. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It is a sweet knife for not being a chopper.

Me neither,Walker (iirc) enlightened me one nite on DC when I was a wee little pup back in the day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

You can also just click the refresh icon on your browser- then you don't wear out any keys. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Brother and Sister Dogs,

I ask you.

How do you fix the wear and tear on your finger? It is the same if you push the F5 key or the refresh button with your mouse.

Sadly all of this damage to the paws of many dogs out there could have been avoided!

So Mr. Dan I plead with you to post this blade to the sales page so we can stop the destruction and we can all comiserate together with our bretheren as we bask in the infi and res-c goodness.

Remember the faithful and if that doesn't work. Do it for the children.

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

Yea.....I'm fading here.....

Good morning everybody!

Waiting goes on... I'm sure it's worth waiting.

I have a CS srk. Srk is a good knife but I 'm confident WD is better. Only thing I'm not so fond of is that the cutting edge has a gap between the edge and finger guard.

it's up.

It's up and order placed! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!

YES So glad I checked one more time befoore going to sleep!

I couldn't make up my mind - black handle or Tan handle?

When in doubt choose both and a challenge coin for good luck.

Now I can have some sweet dreams.

Black handle for me. Black goes with everything.

I went with tan, I guess because the rest of my res-c is black and I thought I might just change it up.

Almost went off to bed without checking! Got 'em in!

I just ordered a pair of black. The tan option threw me, but I don't really do tan on anything. I would have ordered green if that was an option.

Noticed that one the Knives page the specs list cutting edge as 3". Must be a carry over from Scrapivore specs.

Specs at a glance:

Overall Length: 9.75"
Blade Length: 5.0"
Cutting Edge Length: 3"
Blade Width: 1 1/8"
Thickness: Approx: .235"
Steel: INFI / 58-60 Rc

Yay I got mine ordered!!!! Black. I tried to do one of each but mama said no. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

What mama don't know..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Woke up in the middle of the night to a nice surprise. Got my order in! Now for the WAIT!

Dan, any chance of a picture of the TAN handle? I know it'll be awesome, but would love to see it regardless!

WAR DOG WAR DOG! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Should I order a tan one too since I have a TT Regulator and DF in tan? I did get the black since I have LE's in black and gray. Too many decisions.
Thanks Dan!

One black on its way.

Welcome to the Yard l2lku.

I went ahead and got a tan one too. Weak will power at night, or anytime of the day when it comes to Yard blades LOL.

Order in . Woo Hoo! Thanks for the heads up Steely!

No problem dog glad I could help!

Got mine, just noticed it's going to be dang near a quarter inch thick!

I Ordered 2, 1 Black and 1 Tan. I planned on ordering just 1, but i ordered 2 so i could get one for my buddy (he's in the USMC) as a thank you for his service.

Hey D-math, I spent 20 Years in the military. I'll take a black one too!









Oh Dan, can I cancel my order, I already got one coming! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />













JUST KIDDING, DO NOT CANCEL MY ORDER!!!!!

Got in. Now we can all sleep well. Well done guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard

Dumpster Dan

interesting. more interesting is that the scrapizashi is still available.

sadly, i'm looking at new cars. seriously this time. if i get the benz, no knife. if i get a fit, then i'd have to get a 'zashi to toughen it up and mount in the rear windshield.

For sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

No need for a Benz Mag! Save the cash and buy some BETTER steel <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thank you for the welcomes.

I had a SOD but have not owned a SY for a while so I am excited about this one and happy to be back in the Yard.

Very Cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />


Dan

Benz needs protection too!

l2lku, welcome back to the family.

So my only question is. How many War Dogs were actually made? When Dan said good luck getting in on this I was thinking like 50 or 60 or something small along those lines.

I made it. I had to work at 3am this morning and was worried I would be too late. But I finally ordered my first Scrap Yard knife. This is the type I voted for in the poll.

Nice! Anyone notice the War Dog isnt displayed on the main page anymore? At least for me its not.

When I first got on it wasn't listed on mine either and I thought I was too late. I rebooted my computer and there it was. I ordered as quickly as I could and I got an order confirmation.

It is a featured item on the order page too the right....is that what you are talking about?

No I was talking about the main page where new offerings are stated and you can choose where to navigate to. Like forums, schwag, ect.

Never saw it on that page. must have missed it when it was there.

Got a black one,but would love some orange resc,we know it's doable.
Maybe someday. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
Imagine an orange handled WarDog with an orange vore piggybacked. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

They are not going to make 50-60 if they invested in the mold for a new handle. The cost for that is pretty high so they will have to put out a few knives to recoup that expenditure. Will they all be INFI? I doubt it, I think we'll see this new style handle for awhile on new models.

I think Ted is right but I am guessing we will see that new handle on more models, looks pretty sweet. Now if Dan can come up doth formula for Orange res C that would be sick.....

which would be sweet cause while i dont need the size, i love the handle and would be all over a different release :P

Remember that we still haven't seen the Reg style handle on anything else yet.
This handle does seem like it would lend itself to more designs though.

Yes, but there are at least three versions of the Regulator and they made a lot more than 60 of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

ordered 2 black( one is for a friend). reminds me of a modern spanish Gaucho knife!!!!! (not sure I spelled it right)

Hey Dan, any chance of a pic of tan handled one please <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So...the question I have now is: do I order a black handled one too?

Hey dogs, new guy here, the war dog is going to be my first INFI blade, is the rust resistance going to be better then 1095 or even sr-101?

Welcome Treehorn

thanks J Mack

I think that the handle is too slender for the offered blade. Put a slim blade on it and it would be hot. Make it out of SR101 and sell a zillion of them. The price point would fit my budget better, also. Oh, and some gimping on the spine would be cool. Thank you.

Welcome! Infi is way less rust prone than sr-101. It's almost stainless but not quite.

You are the first person I have ever seen that does not want an infi blade.
If this were a busses knife it would be at least $250.

Welcome treehorn.

wish I could see a pic next to a dumpster mutt, cant ever find one so thats why I am glad to get this since its same specs baisicaly. very interested to see how these new grips feel, the originals are so perfect in my hands.

Hi all new poster to the forum here. Been lurking the forums since I picked up my Mil Regulator. Since then itch has grown, and now i think its out of control. I must admit I screwed up last week and bought the other nice toy in the WAR Dog photo. The voices are saying buy buy buy and I have worn out my F5 key, but i really shouldn't I have emptied the piggy bank. So everyone hurry-- buy them all and put me outta my misery. Maybe then the voices will let me sleep.

Welcome DD214, Treehorn, and Whiskey Kilo! Nice to have y'all join us!

WK, you know payment won't be due for a few weeks, right? Got time to hock yer stuff to pay for it!

W/K -- Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I'm also curious as to how many are going to be made just because I want to. I thought about getting a tan one also but I don't really need two and I'm not about ordering extras to resale, I notice that seems to go on alot with busse knives over on the blade forum.

I never said that it was priced badly or that I didn't want it; on the contrary, it is a bargain and very, very nice. It is still a lot of money to some of us. I was merely dreaming about a less expensive version in my price range. Sorry to have offended you.

I like this handle a lot, but going to hold out for a CG one...hopefully! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

DD214, WHEN did you get out? I retired AF in '94. BTW, don't worry, he wasn't offended by what you said. Infi is a very coveted steel for ScrapYard blades and that is what I think he was referring to.

HEY PINKY, Where you been?

Whisky-Kilo, DD214 and TreeHorn, WELCOME! I think Y'all gonna like it here. Bunch of fine and friendly folks here and the knives ain't bad either!

Jump in and join us in the Death Chat where you can talk about ALMOST anything (this IS a Family Friendly Forum) and Dan lets us have a lot of fun.

Hi Pinky! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I just made friends with my voices, it was easier that way.... LOL


Welcome to the Yard

Dumpster Dan

Haha! Good one Big Dog. Do you think it possible to put up a Tan handled WarDog? That's what I ordered and was just wanting a teaser of what I am gonna have.

Oh and SOME of the voices won't let you make peace with them. They will lie to you and give you a false sense of peace, then WHAM! They lie!

No offending done man. I am just super stoke to have my first chance to buy SCRAPYARD infi.

New poster here and new Scrap Yard/Swamp Rat fan! Bought a Ratmandu last week and love it! Now I see this INFI offering and just had to grab it.

I just placed an order and got an invoice, so I hope they ship quickly because I can't wait to try this one out. If INFI is a great as everyone says, I am sure I'll be pleased. I prefer my fixed blades in the 4 - 5 inch range so this is perfect.

Pilot, I am guessing you are P1, I am RLB there and was pulling a reverse Hog!

Oh and WELCOME to the Yard! All joking aside, this is the friendliest forum I have ever visited and been a member of. A LOT of really nice, knowledgeable folks are here. If you really want to "Join in" just click on over to the Death Chat, where ALMOST anything goes, but we are FAMILY FRIENDLY. If you wouldn't let your 6 year old hear it don't post it. Dan's rules.

Yes that's me! And thanks for the welcome RLB! I get it now!

I am really digging these knives a lot and hope I can contribute here. Can't wait to get the War Dog.

Hehe, we like to have fun here as well, but we aren't as vicious as the Hogs. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Boy I figured if anyone was pinky it would be me lol

Oh great now Dogtired is starting to sound like the voices in my head!!

Welcome Pilot and Whiskey Kilo. The fever is hard to shake. You might as well give in. That will curb the fever until the next release.

You're lucky I'm being nice and not bringing that thread up for all these new dogs to see.

DO IT, I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks J. Mack! I really like this line of knives, so I am sure the War Dog will not be my last.

Way to go Dan! It looks just PERFECT! Fat,5 inch,res-c,AND INFI!
LOVE the look of the new handle!
And 'WAR DOG' fits perfect as well! Order is in!
That's EXACTLY what i was hoping for and more! SO SYCHED!
Thanks Dan! I raise my glass! CHEERS!

What do I get now? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

Pic and specs bump!!!!
Lovin' the new INFI Scrapper!!!

Pilot -- Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Great time to join us with the release of the War Dog. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The more I look at the pic of the War Dog the more I like it. The name is perfect for this one also.

Onl wish I could get TWO war dogs for myself <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'd like to see a pic of the tan one. Someone mentioned a green handle would be nice. I'd agree, but I'd probably still get the black handle.

Would love to see a tan handle pic.

will the CG release be less $$? i dont know if i can resist it.. i love the shape

I may have to try and sell a microtech automatic ive had laying around and dont use much anymore >.>

Have you heard something <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I would be all over a CG War Dog even though I ordered this one.

You are right Dan is was easier to just give in.......I can't wait to get my hands on my first piece of INFI!

What a nice time to come back to posting. Tan one ordered.

TOAST! Where you been hiding?

The thing with hoping for a CG version is that. 1. Dan might not release a CG version. 2. A CG version might be months and months away. 3. CG version might not be made in INFI.

There are just too many maybes. If you like this design buy 'em now!

HOLY CRAP! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I step away from the computer for a couple days and I almost miss this insane deal. That will teach me. In as fast as my stubby fingers could bang on the keys for thie beauty! Dan you outdid yourself... again. In for some Black & Tan!!! What could be better, eh?

Hello! I'm new here, took the plunge and ordered one of these since it seems to be everything I'd love in a knife. This will be my first Scrap Yard blade, but I fear it won't be my last...

Too many what if's if one is going to wait for a CG, not saying that Dan might make one. The S5 is a good example as it was a SR101 blade with coating and handle options while the S5LE is Infi and black handle. Who knows, Dan does but none of us do.

Hi there!

Welcome to the yard! I'm also new here and ordered my first SY knife. I'm sure it won't be my last!

After all I'm confident that if we ask nicely we can get the Muk back. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

SantaCruz and Timo, Welcome to the yard. I'm pretty new here as well. But everyone here is amazing. Plus the blades are well .... they are bussekin. What more do you need to say!

I'd order one right now because I LOVE the handles, but the blade is too thick for me... I'm going to wait and risk it..

the cg was just a speculation, nobody take it as truth! dont trust me! XD

i *really* dont need one now as someone offered me a trade for my microtech i never use for a custom mike irie ts-5..

so now i have two 5" blades already XD


its definitely a need vs want scenario and i want it but dont need the knife.

now i need a chopper as my largest blade is the dumpster mutt (well the mark irie is gonna be .5" longer so now that will be).. and eric at the swamp said theyre coming with something "bigger"

Thanks Private Klink. I've been eyeing this line of knives for a while, along with the Swamp offerings, and was really happy to see they released something I could grab. It is right up my alley.

My first SY was the SS4 INFI so I guess its a must to get the 5" INFI War Dog.

PINKY, YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET IT!

Dear Santa:

WELCOME TO THE YARD, and the Glorious addiction! You are going to like it here, a LOT of nice Dogs and the blades, well they're nice too! Actually WE think they are THE BEST!

Now that you are here don't be shy pull up a bone and join us around the screen! Ho boy, are you gonna get hammered around Christmas!;) Hope your Bag is cut proof!<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Please just read the rules and regulations thread as this is a FAMILY FRIENDLY forum. Dan doesn't like anything that isn't G rated (ok, MAYBE we get just a tiny bit G+ once in a while) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This newest offering in the coveted INFI steel is something the the Dogs have wanted for a long time.

That War Dog looks nice. But I think I'm gonna wait for a big chopper to come along one of these days.

Welcome Santacruz and Timo. You picked a good time to come on board.

"War Dog" I love that name!

The scrapizashi is still in the company store. It's big and can't do some pretty good chopping. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

J. Mack Thank you for welcoming me. And Thank you all I haven't thank before. Feels great to be here.

Skunkhunter! You are killing me right here at the start! Dear Santa.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I got my credit card dinged already! I thought these would be a ways out.

wow that is fast! That means they are coming this week! (I hope)

eek, my order wasn't charged for the full amount! I'm worried.
sent off an email to see whats up.

after doing some math, it looks like the scrapivore part of my order has not dinged, but the War Dog part has.

That sounds good then. They don't charge unless they are getting real close to shipping the knives out <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

i ordered a scrapivore a few weeks ago and it hasnt dinged yet, i think they've been pumping out the war dogs they need to catch up on the scrapivore orders XD

phew, I was thinking I was SOL on the vore. Thx for giving me HOPE Zogg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Holy heck, that was fast! I thought these weren't shipping till after Blade

Forgive me for being new and asking a bit of a dumb question but how exactly do we know when the War Dog is sold out? Will the order section not allow you to put it in your cart? or do you just wait and if your card doesn't get dinged your S.O.L

Pretty sure they stop taking orders when they run out. Never heard of anyone getting an order confirmation and no blade.

My guess is to honor the warranty there is always the ability to make a few more than they sell.

My credit card shows a pending charge for the amount of the WD.

I am somewhat new to knives, and have never owned a bussekin. I ordered the war dog somewhat blindly, as I didn't want to miss out on the opportunity to obtain my first piece of infi.

After reading through some of the posts on the new knife, I saw the post that stated the knife was 1" from spine to edge. Based on my experience with the knives that I own, 1" is very short. My knives (including folders,) range from 1 3/8" to 1 3/4" at their thickest.

I suppose my question to the more seasoned knife users is what a thinner blade like this will be useful for? What applications do you intend on using your WD for?

It seems to me like it is a mix between a stealthy killer and a bushcraft knife.

It's seems to be alot like a basic 5, which is an awesome knife( kind of a small handle on the b5) it seems to be a general use/ hiking knife that will take any abuse/ use you can throw at it

I am going to use my WD for an all purpose woods knife. My CC got dinged too which is fine, as that means its going to ship soon. I am glad to know its on the way as I can't wait!

Will we be getting a shipping notice with a tracking number? Thanks!

This is the reason why I haven't jumped on this knife, the blade shape and handles look great, but in my opinion the dimensions are off. The blade is too thick for its width (too short). I think in many applications the spine would hit the edge before the cut is complete. But I know this knife wasn't designed for the kitchen or bush, it was designed as an all around beater! I'd jump on this so quick if it was 1-2 years ago, but I have enough indestructible SY knives, and I'm more into thinner knives these days. But dogs are loyal and I'm still a SY guy at heart, so I'll wait patiently for thinner knife, hopefully with SS4 style blade and new handles. If it came in 154CM, it'd be my official kitchen/bush/bbq/beater knife!

I think this knife will serve best as a combat knife, hence the name. Soldiers and Marines are pretty hard on their knives in the field and a knife like the War Dog would be right up their alley.

Finnish puukko usually has < 1" wide blade. In the old days puukko was an all around tool, kitchen knife and a negotiator in complex social confrontations.

Nowadays puukko is used as a woods/hunting/fishing knife and is wery good in wood carving. Puukko has quite thin blade and it's often about 4" -5"long.

My first impression when I saw the WD was it's a puukko. Well American made puukko. WD has also details of a fighting knife. Drop point, thick blade, finger guard and a gap between cutting edge and finger guard.

Because I wasn't here for the Muk I think the WD is a brilliant knife to be my first SY!

...and I'm going to use it like puukko - for everything!

It takes about 4 days for charges to show up on my card. Was it a charge or a hold?

Any word from Renee? While I will be excited to get this sooner, I had been budgeting for late June. No big deal if either happens.

You and I are in the same boat, my friend. My wife's gonna kill me when she sees this charge on our check card this morning. Oh well, I'll die happy.

You will need to pay at the time of shippment...when the credit cards are charged. I suspect we will ship shortly after Blade Show if everything goes right....does this help?

Dan
Could the card charging be a mistake?

How about a picture with the tan handle?

Maybe I should have ordered a few in black? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I was wondering if the charges where a mistake as well, but if they are shipping now, that's even better!

yes and no, this is not a complaint as I can't wait to get the blade but it people are planning on being charged after blade show and the charges come early it could screw people's finances up, this has happened to me in the past. Again not a complaint just an observation <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I would like SY to offer Kydex sheaths for the War Dog like those for the Scrapivore at a similar price.

I have many Mashed Cat sheaths and have been very happy with each.....




as well as those I've purchased from Rainwalker and Buy Brown.

I think your right, but I also think it will be used for some bushcraft duties. This is exactly the blade I was hoping for. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The war dog is a awesome looking knife. Is the cutting edge 3" or is it longer?

I think it was a typo. The cutting edge should be a bit over 4" taking the blade is 5".

This is exactly the blade I was hoping for. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> [/quote]

you and me both J. cant wait!

I agree that this is exactly the knife I was hoping for also.

I read on another forum that the 3 inch cutting edge was a typo and it should be more like 4 3/4 cutting edge - if I remember right it was posted either by Jerry Busse on a Busse forum maybe on Bladeforums.com or in Swamp Rat knifes forum by Eric - its been a long weekend if you know what I mean.

To me the thickness isn't an issue - .235 is only about 3/64ths thicker than 3/16th or .1875 and most people like 3/16ths for a blade thickness.

The real plus is its a nice thick infi knife in a great size - sort of a Super Pukko or Super Mora.

The blade dimensions remind me a bit of a fallkniven s1. If memory serves me correctly the S1 has a 5" blade, .20" spine and is approximately 1" from edge to spine (maybe a bit taller.) The S1 is marketed as an all around survival/woods knife, and I'm thinking the war dog will be equally suitable for such tasks, granted the war dog sports better steel and potentially a better/more ergonomic handle.

Ok DT,You & the Rest of the Dawgs have convinced me!! Black one ordered : )
Cheers!! ; )

Way to go J/B! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I thought the same thing about the likeness to the Fallkniven S1 when I saw it. I have an F1 and have been thinking of getting an S1, but this will satisfy that nitch for a while (along with my recently acquired RMD).

Truly you are my brother from another mother.

This is my first post. I'm new here and have yet to get a bussekin blade. I've been lurking for about a year but just got an account. I was tempted to get the deregulator but wanted to hold out for something different. The war dog looks really good and infi would be awesome to get, but I want to continue waiting for the blade that really sings to me. I was hoping for a chopper. The price doesn't help my situation either (graduated from college two years ago and have a truck-load of student loans). Anyway, thought I would stop "lurking" in the shadows and say hi.

Welcome to the Yard

Welcome to the yard!

tedsterosa - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Glad you stopped lurking and joined us. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I have knives going out the door as we speak...I really wanted everyone to have there knife...if possible, before Blade show. I figured the guys who cant be there in person could at least handle their WAR Dog in one hand and toast us with the other <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />


I will make sure to lift my class and toast you all

Dan

Welcome to the Yard

Dumpster dan

Hello all, I saw this posted in the knives thread in the off-topic section of another forum I frequent. Known about Bussekin and Infi for a while but never actually caught a knife I liked while it was for sale.

I have owned an Uncle Mojo, but only long enough to trade it for an M4 AFCK folder. Anyway, just bought 2 of these with black handles.

I have to say, I didn't like it at first glance, but the Infi drew me in. Always wanted to try it. Then the more I looked at it and read about it, the more I realized that this was a pretty perfect configuration.
The two fixed blades on my list to purchase are a Bravo 1 and an ESEE 5 and this seems like a combo between the two of them. Shaped similarly to the Bravo 1 and beefy like the ESSE. Part of me wishes it was bigger, but the Mojo was too big for me to actually use/carry for anything so I talked myself into this one and I'm sure I won't regret it.

I may try to trade one of these away towards a Camp Tramp or Scrapper 6 though.

Glad to finally get my first SY though!

Yipee!!!!! I just got my notice that my knives have shipped!!

JEALOUS

Dan I'll be toasting as soon as they get here. I picked up a Mud Puppy in 154cm and it was my first Scrapyard. I used it all this past turkey season and absolutely love it. I'm really pumped about the Wardogs too as they will be my first INFI.

Welcome to the yard bulletproof tiger.

So good I had to post it twice.

Did anyone catch this little tidbit from Jerry over on BF?

Yeah, I saw that Ted, very cool news

I wonder if SR-77 is done as the flagship of Scrapyard. It seems most of the new blades are SR-101, 154 CM, or INFI. Only the Scrapizashi has been SR-77 lately. Maybe it'll be just for the larger blades and the smaller ones will be SR-101 or 154 CM.

Ordered a black handled one earlier this evening.Couldn't hold off any longer it was too tempting.

Thank you sir, you are the man <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

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

That is what I have been thinking for a while since most new blades have been SR101 and Infi.

Dan,
That is Just Awesome and thoughtful.I really am glad you decided to not wait until after BLADE for the release. It would be so cool if you had the time to set up a streaming live feed of the toast so all of us could "be" there <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just ordered mine in Tan......my second piece of INFI!

Just got back to the States and look what has been going on since I have been gone. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />WAR DOG!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> My girl called and told me that I should be getting one soon. What a welcome home?!!! She is a keeper <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />!!! Well, it is good to be home! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Good deal. You got a keeper. Welcome home.

I don't have a blade in either (that I've used). So SR-77 > SR-101 ?

Welcome home Brother!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Your girl sounds like a keeper for sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I don't have a blade in any yet, but I always though SR-77 was tougher, SR-101 held a better edge and infi was in between.

You bet.

For those Dogs who are thinking about a War Dog...don't think too long. I see the bottom of the stack and I suspect they are going to be gone here shortly

Dan

Glad to see you back.


What a girl....good for you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

That's what people say, but honestly, who is going to be able to really tell the performance difference unless doing a scientific test? All materials perform very well as knives when treated correctly.

I feel that the rust resistance of INFI is the biggest consideration for me as I prefer naked steel.

Honestly, the war dog is more exciting to me than the Busse Muk I just got.

The number of knives left is very small and will run out in the very near future.

Congrats to all the Dog's who got in on this one.

Enjoy

Dan

You heard the man. For those of you who want one do it NOW. before it's too late!

this one has grown on me more and more since seeing the comparison shots. if i had the funds theres no way i would pass.

Way to go for those that got in on this.

looks like I'm going to have to catch the release with the GREEN handles... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

First post, HI ALL!

After lookin through what seem's like everything for my needs, in terms of:

bush/surv/util/tac/LIGHTWEIGHT/STRONG!

for backpacking/edc it's a no brainer

I feel a bit lucky in my timing...

I'll try to prove the "hype" wrong, but I'll just end up loosing fingers... thanks and good luck dealin' with this mutt, I'm gonna end up puttin your kids through collage! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I've always thought it was what was available/ most cost effective so Dan can bring the best price to performance that he can

It is a great blade guys, the zero convex edge helps to combat the stock thickness while still feeling indestructible, if you are on the fence, jump before they are gone and you are kicking yourself and paying jacked up aftermarket prices

Got one of mine in while I was gone. In my short time of fondling the War Dog I think it will be an instant classic. I love the feel of the grip, the Infi is good to go, the convex with the flat grind is awesome. Cant wait to get a sheath done for it.

BPT and Synthacide -- Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard!

^^ What he said! Welcome, pull up a good bone and chew with us a while. Got a Bunch of really good Dogs around here.

Thanks! cool little community you guys have here.

why do I feel like I just took my first hit of crack, and now I'm hooked? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just got mine in the mail. That was fast shipping!

Anyway, this knife is awesome. After holding it and messing around for a bit, I think it's probably the perfect fixed blade for me.

It's more expensive than drugs. Plus side: it lasts longer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Welcome to the Yard!

BPT, a hale and hearty welcome to you too!

haha, now I wonder "whats next?"

I see a lot of people buy more than one, is this mainly for resale? or safe queens?

anyways, thanks for the welcome!

I already saw one up on the blade forum last night.

and welcome to the Yard. I have been an addict now for just over a year.

I see no recovery insight in fact this summer could be very bad with all the new releases being talked about.

Hehe, but this is ONE addiction that won't get you in trouble with the law. (thank goodness)!

new release's? do tell! or link I've been stuck on sheath mode LOL

want to test and have this piece of kit dialed before my Mt. Whitney trip in august (I know who needs bushcraft above treeline, LOL) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

and just think, if thing's get real tough we can all just chip in on a roc... I mean knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for being so welcoming, I'll be stickin' around... btw <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/2weeks.gif" alt="" />

You live in Cali bay area I assume? I am in Livermore........welcome the the yard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hey You could start the Kalifornia Komrads Scrapyard chapter! You would be Dan's First named Fan club!

Haha a...they would shut us down and charge us with something related to terrorism..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Oh boy...I can see Pelossi now in a speech to congress, "Any item with the word War in its title should be restricted from ownership, as it is not intended for peaceful purpose". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Well then they should ban HER! Oh wait a minute, you said WAR! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Just your bank and your wife...maybe not in that order <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Welcome synthacide!

thanks for the headsup, Dan, that was VERY cool of you. I only wish I had popped my head in here Friday night, as this surely would have spawned a 2nd order from me.

I love the WD. You're right, it is a classic!
