Scrap yard replaced a dogfather for me a few years back. Sorry to hear about your situation.
I had a Rat daddy LE and it was easily my favorite big bowie I ever owned. Thats a tough blade to replace.
Why can't they keep some stock materials on hand? Maybe just rent a storage unit, it's not a big bulky product or anything. Isn't that what companies like TOPS and others do when they offer a lifetime warranty? These Bussekin knives rarely break, so it shouldn't take a huge volume; heck, I would think you could easily keep enough blanks in storage to last for years, or hold back some finished blades for warranty purposes.
Did you see that the Ratweiler CG was just announced??? Might be able to get one of those. Have you finalized your claim yet? That seems it would be a pretty fair replacement (the 1/4" thick version).
PS - Choppy for $500+???![]()
Maybe on the bay, but definitely not here. I've seen them go on the X recently for ~$375 shipped/insured.

So after following this thread with baited breath for a solution I am totally let down. Not let down by Jerry or Swamprat or Busse!
I want to know what the solution was!!! What did you get as a replacement?? I'm probably going to hear that it is a private matter between Jerry and adrock1978. Glad it got worked out, but come on, what was the ultimate solution?? Why wasn't Dan involved here??
Ok, I will go crawl back into my hole now.
Its not a private matter between Jerry and myself. I'm confident every Busse customer would get the same treatment. Each warranty situation is unique and as such Busse will do whatever they can to be fair and make the customer whole. I think the greatest reward in all of this, was talking one on one with Jerry. He's understanding, funny, very knowledgeable, and holds his customers in a very high regard. He called while I was driving, so my girlfriend answered. I almost drove off the road, when she said "Its that guy Jerry you buy all you knives from."
So what was the solution?
Sooo....
Now that the ratweiler CG is being re-released, I can only assume that the "private matter" involves the upcoming re-release of the Rat Daddy. Right? Gotta be that...
Its a private matter between Jerry and myself.![]()
.... why would he be ? Dan runs The Scrap Yard not Swamp Rat ....Why wasn't Dan involved here??
