What about the Tom Brown Jr. knife. I heard that was the mac daddy of Knifes.
Crash - The reason that is there is because people believe that Scrap yard and Busse are the same company. And, though they are the same team, so to say, they aren't the same company.
Also, I have been talking with a member of them and they likely won't have any more Scrapper 6's for a long while. Oh well. Heres to hoping I can find one cheap on blade forums >.>
Oh I got that, but to say hey thanks for visiting our website where we posted some pictures of some nice knives that you may want to buy.......but if you ever ask us about them we will ban you.......just seems kind of odd that's all.
It said that? I didn't see it. Oh well, I should pay more attention to detail :)
Well, I will be sure to let y'all know of the next knife I buy. Should be sometime around likely before Christmas. (Because I am saving all the extra money I get for a new rifle)
I've got 2 Busse's and love them but they can be azzzz. I e-mailed Scrapyard a few months ago and still haven't recieved a reply. (holding breath & turning blue)
Read Scrapyard's warning! The brothers had split up and now each have their own businesses, that are not connected in any way. You have helped me so PM me with what the problems you're having, and I might be able to help you resolve them. Unfortunately people don't understand whats going on with them.Quote:

Uh, wouldn't it be easier if they just put an explanation on their web page instead of coming across so customer unfriendly? A simple explanation would have done it.
Well that would be EZQuote:

If you call the Busse Shop regarding SCRAP YARD KNIFE CO., we will NOT sell to you . . .ever! It is that simple and there are NO exceptions. We have an agreement with Busse Combat and any violation of this could end in us losing our contract.

An introduction by Patricia Busse:
My husband Dan worked in his brother Jerry’s small custom knife shop from 1982 - 1986, where he learned to appreciate the simplistic beauty of a high performance, competition grade knife. The guys in the shop used to call him “Dan The Hack” because his fit and finish were secondary concerns as he only cared about blade performance and little else. . . His philosophy was simple, if it didn’t affect the performance of the knife, he didn’t bother spending any time on it. 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. He worked primarily with tool steels and had a strong attachment to the outrageous toughness of the shock and spring steel grades. He used a lot of 5160, A-2, D-2, 0-1, and other popular steels of the time until he stumbled upon S-7 shock steel. He simply could not get over the toughness of this steel and finally settled on this grade for his big fixed blades that would be called upon to stand up to ridiculous amounts of abuse and hard use. His love affair with spring and shock steels began way back then and has continued through to this day.
Over the past 20 years he has longed to return to his first love of making knives. And for nearly 25 years, scrap piles of unused steel and handle material have been building up in the Busse knife shop. Dan is a firm believer in the “waste not, want not” school of thought and it is this belief and desire that has coursed him back into what is now known as The Scrap Yard Knife Company. Through months of ”dumpster diving” and warehouse digging at the Busse Knife compound, Dan and I have secured literally tons of the finest tool steels available and other supplies that will allow us to bring a line of high performance American made blades to the market place at very affordable prices.
Enjoy your visit to our website and we look forward to assisting you in your quest for the ultimate knife.

get a good fixed blade that will fit in your can. I think bark river or blindhorse knive will be two of the best for what your looking to do.
Cool, I'll look at those madsurvivor2006. In the meantime, how about heading on over to the introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself.
tell me how id be glad to
It's toward the bottom of the Wilderness Survival Forum page, just above Blogs. Here's a link to make it easier. http://www.wilderness-survival.net/f...splay.php?f=14
ok thanks im going there now
I checked out the Blindhorse knives - like the Bush Craft Knife. Some of them were a bit pricy for me, but they looked like good knives. Same with the Bark Rive Knives - they look great, but it's a little scarey with no prices listed.
when it comes to a knife that you have to save you or some one with you buy the best that you can afford, then you have piece of mind that it will be reliable.
Crash, most of bark river's knives are around $100.00 and up. I have a link for a company but I'll have to get it to you tomorrow.
