So, here's my quandry... I've got two Scrapyard SS4's in INFI already, but I'm really drawn to the Muddy Meaner that's coming up "soon". I'm not a collector, so I only want to pick up knives I think I'm going to use. I like the 4" blade length for a camping knife, but (although I've got a low grade lust for them), I don't know that I can rationalize buying a Meaner.

They're the same steel, very similar blade, with the biggest tangible difference I can see being the handle. I've heard a lot of people say that the Res-C is one of the best handle materials out there, so I don't know if I would get a big practical upgrade by going with the MM.

Can anyone who's used micarta vs Res-C versions of the same (or really similar) knives chip in and let me know if I'm missing something here?

Thanks! :)
 
Trust me... You'll hate the Meaner! Don't get it!!!! ;);) :D ;) :D :) Sorry, you're potential competition for me and you want ME to convince YOU??? LOL :eek: :D LMAO

EDITED to add: Ok, after being a wise azz, I pulled these out for ya... Me? My hand size, I'd prefer the Scrapper with gloves, the Meaner without. Hopefully that's a little more helpful!

Nah, my wife thinks she wants one too. :D I'm just trying to be a responsible adult when it comes to spending several hundred dollars.
 
i prefer micarta for looks and feel. res c is nice stuff, but lacks the character inherent to the micarta.

similar knives in shape, although the meaner is thicker, iirc.
 
for me, i do not like the res-c. I have tried it several times, and always go back to micarta.
 
I'll give you my lowly opinion.

I don't like the Scrapper mudder handle. It's too hard in comparison to regular Res-C. I thought it woudl have more grip and give.

I've GOT a Meaner. VERY nice handle. I like it. But it's the talon-fingers or whateverthat'scalled handle. (Like the AD.)

These handles look smoother htan that. So I'm not sure.

Either way, I've got an AD, I've got a MrS so I'm set already. In Snake too. :)
