Anyone have one of Scrapyard's blades? I'm thinking of picking up their 5" "Dumpster Mutt" to use as a general purpose hiking/camp knife. |

I hear they are top notch blades. They are made by a tight knit group that also does swamp rat knives and busse combat knives. All the companies make some of the best blades on the planet , but availabilty of the blades is a bit off a problem. Usually their new blades are sold quite quickly after they are put up on their websites. Also swamp rat knifeworks has a separate page to buy their knives.... Here and Busse Knives was the biggest pain for myself to find because I never found the next button and did not realize they were almost always completly sold out within a few hours of posting new blades for sale. If I am not mistaken busse combat is the only one who does allow custom ordering on their website, the problem with that is after you order you have to wait a while for that particular blade to dissapaer from the website so they can start making/shipping them. Ex. I ordered a Busse sus scrofa and it probably will not be until another 2 weeks before they remove them from the website, so it could be a month or two before I receive my knife, but I am guaranteed that custom knife. |
To the best of my knowledge the Dumpster Mutt is no longer available, I emailed them in my search. Their web page is hard to navigate, they currently only have one knife available, Swamp Rat has a couple, I just ordered an M6. You may want to look into rangerknives.com, they knives are just as good as the Scraps/Swamps but you can get them whenever you want, the price is a lot easier to swallow and Justin can customize the finish, scales or blade shape for you. I ended up getting one Ranger and a Swamp Rat..... decissions decissions. If you have your heart set on a dumpster mutt you can go over to blade forums and go to the exchange page where they sell the Scrapyard/Swamp Rat/ Busse knives and get one. They are going to be heavily inflated prices though. Hope that helps |
Do the Ranger knives have the 1/4+ thick blades like the Scrap Yard blades? |
Yes, it is 5160 Spring steel, one of the strongest blades you can get, they are true hard use knifes. The blades are incredibly strong and the customer service is great. Both companies have great service, like I said the thing that makes Rangers nice is he doesn't sell out of them and he can customize them to your needs. Check out this site knifeforums.com/forums/showforum.php?fid/72/ Read up on them, definitely worth the look |

Well if you want a badger attack from Busse Combat now is your chance they have the three combinations available...game warden is also available(so-so) Busse Store at the blade part.....where you press stuff and it gets in your cart |
Damn......you almost made me spend more money!!!! If I hadn't bought an Active Duty a couple weeks ago, I'd be all ove the BA!! |
I know if I hadn't just bought the blue/black one a few weeks ago I'd be all over that red/black like a fly on sugary things. Right now some of us over at bladeforums are trying to get idahoskunk to put some cool looking meaner streets up on the storefront, supposedly he just need Amy's approval to do so. |
Damn you, I just baught a Ranger RD7 and a Swamp Rat M6 within the past month, the wife would probably file for divorce if I spent $300.00 on another blade 
|
Well then just wait a few months, they usually throw this stuff out in waves. I don't think this will be the last of the badgers since they have been selling many different stylings of badgers since at least 2001. That sus scrofa is still up on the main page for order and bare bones its only $197 without serrations, fancy handles, or bead blasting. I know I need to stop spending money on their blades, I honestly could've bought a DSA FAL with the amount of greenbacks i've thrown at these blades. But hey I got a lot of toys to beat the tar out of anything
|
I hear ya, I have been trying to save for an M1A, I will never get there spending money on blades.... They are fun though, just got the Ranger yesterday, the Rat should be here by the weekend so lots of fun destruction around the house for me 
|
Ahh my CCs are gonna scream they are putting up these tomorrow  Meaner w red micarta  AD w/ Tiger micarta with a bad photo The Badgers and game wardens are up right now, three different of each... |
