All About Pocket Knives

Scrap Yard Knives are a spin off of Busse knives. I own a Scrap Yard Scrapper 6. This is my first foray in the Busse family of knives. I have been wanting a Busse for a long time. So, I thought I would get in on the Scrap Yard Knives. They are excellent! MY Scrapper 6 is in incredible! I recently ordered a Street Scrapper 4; it has an INFI blade & Res. C handles. Res-C. The Street Scrapper 4 sold out really quickly. Has any one else here have any Scrap Yard Knives?[/b]

I went to their web site last week, after I saw their add in Blade Magazine. Some nice looking knives, but I mainly stick to folders. But I I needed another fixed blade they would go up on the list as a possibility.

What is the difference between the two,is it price or quality or ?.I went to their site but have not compared the two as to price and or quality.

I've had two Swamp Rat knives, the original spinoff of Busse. I sold one, the other is a great knife (Bandicoot). Is this a legal/partnership name change...or what?

Scrap Yard is the third spin off of Busse knives. I have a Scrapper 6, and it is a great knife. I am very happy with it. I do have on order a Street Scrapper 4; which is SYK first knife with INFI. I LOVE the Res.C handles. With Scrap Yard Knives, you get a fantastic knife, and one that is reasonably priced. You get a high quality knife, and one from the Busse family of knives, but with a better price. At least this is my opinion of Scrap Yard Knives. Now mind you, I am very much into folders too. I like Scrap Yard Knives so much, that I have sold off al my Bark River fixed blades.[/b]

Hello TKC,

If you don't mind will you post a couple pictures of your Scrap Yard knives..I have been admiring the Bark River knives as of late and if you have sold off the BR for these I gotta see some for myself...

Thanks,

I know a little about Busse knives or at least the earlier one's. Nice knives and well made, my favorite is The Battle Mistress. I do not think it is made anymore, that is one I should have kept.

I have a old buddy and hunting partner who loves Swamp Rat Knives. He has several. The quality is outstanding and I have admired many of them that he owns. Good-looking stuff!

Here is a link to their web site for those of you who are unfamiliar with Swamp Rat Knives: http://www.swampratknifeworks.com/

Every Swamp Rat Knife I have seen has been extremely solid and impressive. I think my buddy had mentioned Scrap Yard Knives, but I do not recall seeing one. I found their web site if anyone is interested: http://www.scrapyardknives.com/intro.htm

It is interesting to see a company whose product is so successful that they have not one but two spinoff companies making products that compete with their own. Interesting stuff, thanks for the heads up.
