Luck, that it all. Usually my luck is not so good, but today...yeah!!

I'm super busy or I'd post more photo. I'll break out the Blade release Scrap Max and the War Dog later and post here and in the Yard. Unless someone beats me to it.

As for how many were made, no clue.
 
Congrats!

Seeing all those "Knife Sharpened By:" labels reminds me of this:

Congrats on the Ganza and on the quick delivery!!

Now, I am trying, REALLY trying to understand the joy in these super basic looking knives. I know they will cut well, I know they will stand up to abuse, but they look like a set of basic steak knives. No cool handles, coatings, blade shapes, notable size, nothing. You see an FBM, you hold an FBM, you understand the love for the FBM. Same with TGLB, Moab, KZ, etc, etc, etc!! These just don't seem to fit and even then, why the same level of excitement for them vs the AA? Do you feel the "Power Of Grayskull" when you hold up your Scrapmax???

I know this is just me partially being a dick, but I still want to know.

BY THE POWER OF ELMAX!!!
 
Here's some quick pics. Because I'll feel like I let you all down if I don't post something.

There are some people who use knives for their utility and value. Elmax is a stainless steel, the handle is very comfortable and the thin is quite a slicer. Not all of us feel so empowered by steel, it is more about a functional tool as opposed to feeling cool. Different strokes.

Are you an outdoorsman at all? The 340's just look awesome for a processing knife....gutting, skinning, and deboning...I can't wait. The 460's look like a great fishing knife.

Ever used a Gene Ingram? They are superb, in a very different way from Busse / kin. However, the 340's may kick some Ingram's out of my rotation...tbd, but I can't wait to try them out.

Not to mention....Price to Performance Ratio. A superb knife for sub $100? Can't get that out of any of the knives you compared to. There are many more people that can afford a sub $100 knife in comparison to those that can afford (or willing to spend) >$400 on a knife.
 
"So, his knives were a whole lotta ugly in the looks department with their simple handles and full-height flat ground blades, but their performance was simply amazing. "

That about covered it. I had never read that link on Scrap Yard's site before.

I have nothing against any of it, I was just being honest when I see posts about "OMG, IT'S HERE!!" and I see something so basic being pictured. I am the same guy wondering what the big deal is with Hinderer's as well, so you can put me in that category :)

Yes, different strokes...

HAHAHAHA! I'm with ya buddy. Dont listen to these practical patties :D We all know Bussekin knives "work" well... how cool they look is a bonus though. I booo'd and bashed every time a big anticipated wait for a new knife turned out to be the Basic this, or basic that. I love your Grayskull reference. Thats exactly how I feel holding my nmfbmle. Too funny.

I'm gonna be saying "BY THE POWER OF ELMAX!!" all day today now every time I pick up an object.
 
I'm stoked for mine to show up. they look like a great all around processing knife. I will be testing mine on some fishes, deer, squirrel, ect ect this year. and for 90 bucks they are looking hard to beat.
 
They look basic but they work amazing with those handles. Super grippy and ergonomic. Scored me a 460 scrapmax and I'm super stoked. Its thin so I will be an amazing slicer. And will be used and used and used, for food prep fishing hunting BBQ you name it. price was awesome too! It ain't your typical safe queen and I'm only "trying" to keep users, don't have the room for any more safe queens. Also elmax is an amazing steel. It's easy to sharpen and strop, and very rust resistant. I love my ZT 560 made of elmax so much, I sold all 3 hinderers after using it. So yes, by the power of elmax!! ROTFLMAO, it ain't pretty to most but personally love them black handles they fit my hands perfectly. Wish they were shipping out them kill devil sniper hawks together....
 
I'm looking forward to getting my plain Jane Elmax knives because they are great bang for the buck. While I may not be quivering with anticipation, it is cool that some people are excited about their new acquisitions.

The profiles of the wardog and 460 look very similar, but you can sure see a difference from the top view...
