nice test , and carol is a cutie!

never had mine do anything but roll, no chipping and I have cut metal with mine.

Any suggestions??

Use a small hone to locally grind out the damage and basically make a serration or completely sharpen the edge to remove it. Was the damage 1/16" deep or 1/16" long?

As a general rule I wouldn't purchase anything with "Scrap Yard" in the name.

Got a Scrapper 6 last week and tested it along with 4 other edged weapons on Saturday.Test results and photos posted on another forum--

http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/showtopic.php?tid/780029/

Upon arriving home noted that the Scrapper 6 had sustained a chipped edge(1/16" or so)

Wrote Scrap Yard and asked them how I could repair it.

Any suggestions??

Any other owners of Scrap Yard Knives have the same thing happen??

Only struck trees with it...

Still very surprised and disappointed it happened-as it was the first time I used it.

Sincerely

We just received WILLIAM M.'s knife and were a bit surprised to see the edge damage that was reported here. From the description given, we were expecting a fairly substantial chunk of the edge to be missing. Instead, what we found, was edge deformation that was so minor (Less than .004" deep . . .that's the thickness of typing paper) that it was almost invisible to the naked eye and was quickly cured with a few passes on a ceramic stick and a leather strop.

Most likely the edge impacted a small piece of imbedded gravel or other hard substrate that caused the edge to deform.

The knife has been touched up and is on it's way back to the owner. :thumbup:

Thanks,

Scrap Yard Knives.


These are all pics of the knife's edge as it arrived direct from the customer.

Here's a close-up of the edge. (Pic below)

Here is another shot showing the edge with a caliper. (Pic below)

And here is a final shot showing a PaperMate Sharpwriter #2 mechanical pencil lead next to the damaged edge for a size comparison. (Pic below)

ROTFLMAO As I suspected, it was another BS posting. Hence my thread:

William I suggest you learn to sharpen knives or at least strop/steel them. Unbelievable, I've gotten knives from the factory with chips like that

reminds me of the maroon who wiggled his swamp rat and it broke after only 8 hours of pounding on it with a pipe wrench:jerkit:

Thanks Scrap Yard for the follow up on this WITH PICTURES. The coating wear on that edge also indicates at least moderate use prior to that chip. Easily stropped and ready to roll. This has just convinced me to place an order for another one.
