OK guys I am really digging the threads and talking to WLJ4263 about Busse's. Now, I asked him earlier about wither or not he thought I had a chance to trade some production folders for a GW and I think he laughed at me through email, but this is neither here nor there. My question is... I was offered a Scrap Yard in a trade. Would I be going wrong with it? Whats up with SR-77? I don't know a lot about different steels but have heard mixed reviews. Please let me know. And sorry for all the back story but I just felt like giving you something to read. I guess I am really trying to get someone to talk me into getting a Scrap Yard to get started...

There's nothing wrong with the SR77 steel and the Yard is a great place to start your Busse collection. Be careful though, eventually the Infi bug will bite, and it bites hard. :D

SR77 is known for toughness
SR101 is known for taking and keeping a fantastic edge
Infi is the best combination of both that I know of

Which Scrapper are you looking to start with?
 
I'll send you an email if that's cool? Thanks for the help.

Why, I've got half a dozen Scrapyard knives right here with me. I'm perfectly happy with them. They are excellent knives.

"Tough as a Scrapyard Dog" is not hyperbole.:)
 
Yep, scrap yard makes a mighty fine product, and I own a few. In fact, I like several of them more than any Busse knife I own :eek:
 
:rolleyes:Well, there you have it. Not one, but two physicists.

Dan may now say: "Scrapyard Knives are Great -- physicists agree!"



[Assuming such a catch-phrase would have any practical value.:o]
 
One of my favorites I am not allowed to talk about yet, but the scrap muk and bdle are the best food prep blades I own apart from dedicated kitchen knives, and the son of dogfather is the best camp/backpacking knife for the weight in my eyes. The scrapper 5 le is also my favorite smallish belt knife, although it is made from infi so that's sort of cheating. In general, the scrap yard res-c handles, whether chopper sized like the SoD or the mudders on the smaller knives, are the most comfortable user handles I own
 
My Desert Dogfather is SR77 and sharper than 95% of my infi Busses - its easier for me to sharpen than infi and I love it Further, the rec-c handles are ridiculously comfy

My Scrapyard Scrapmuk (154CM) is fast becoming one of my favorite knives and I just got it today! Cant seem to put it down :D The "mudder" handle is my favorite out of all my knives except maybe my Fehrman.

Also, dont forget that Scrapyard offers the same awesome warranty as Busse proper :thumbup:
 
The Muk is a severely under-appreciate blade, in my eyes. 154CM with the magic heat treat out of Ohio does things that 154CM has no business doing. I baton the crap out of my Muk and it is no worse for wear.

154cm is a BUGGER to sharpen, though... even on a belt sander it's tough to work up a burr.

Looks like Skunk's been inhaling the exhaust from the atom smasher again.:D

There's just no controlling that boy.:eek:
 
I have had a Scrapyard Dumpster Mutt LE that I have been using since I started my INFI addiction a couple of years ago, and I have no complaints. I use to think that it was a sin to make a Busse knife a user. Now that I am older and wiser, I know that the real sin is buying a Busse and not using it.
 
You really can't go wrong with ANY of the Busse Group knives!;)


Dan Busse and Scrap Yard DO hold the title of "Superior Performance to Price Ratio" !!! :D:thumbup::thumbup: Gotta' love that Scrap Yard!:D
 
Dan does a GREAT JOB:)
