I'd jump on that deal if it was a coated blade. Still, that's a sweet deal on a helluva knife! Thanks for the head's-up.

WhichDawg · **Reply #5 on:** March 08, 2008, 10:05:44 PM

my limited understanding is double coated blades hold up pretty well. It's like bead blasting
making them more resistant then other finishes, say satin finish. Not as resistant than a coated blade of
course, but way prettier!

One problem is, when scratches come (and it's a knife hello!)
you can't fix/sand/buff it yourself, unless you have sand/bead blasting equipment!

WhichDawg, do you know if a sheath is included? I doubt it at that price but you never know.

WhichDawg · **Reply #7 on:** March 09, 2008, 03:11:38 AM

their was no mention of it, but I'm sure we'll find out for sure tonight/soon. if it does come with one
it would be their new kydex jobbers, and not highly liked.

for the price their offering the blade, I doubt it but I could be wrong (again).

WhichDawg · **Reply #8 on:** March 09, 2008, 04:37:08 AM

the time will be between 3-4 pm central standard time.

Splat · **Reply #9 on:** March 09, 2008, 09:21:16 PM

I said I wasn't gonna do it but I DID! I just ordered my first Scrap Yard knife.

This seems to be a helluva deal. The Resiprine-C handles are supposedly very comfortable. I was going to go with a Ranger Knives RD4 but after reading up on ScrapYard's knives and how comfortable the Resiprene-C handles are I decided to try them. FWIW, after reading up on this "double cut finish" it supposedly is pretty good. I will keep an eyeball on it though until it gains my confidence. I apply a light coating of mineral oil on my blades anyhow..... plus I guess I could always try blue coating it if need be. Man am I STOKED! Thanks for the head's up again, Whichdawg!

Sounds like you've snagged yourself a good deal there mate

, you'll have to let the rest of us know what you think of it.

WhichDawg · **Reply #11 on:** March 09, 2008, 10:02:38 PM

Congrats Splat! your gonna luv it! wait'll you hold it in your hand!
the mutt is IMO one of the best blades out there bro

WhichDawg · **Reply #12 on:** March 09, 2008, 10:03:52 PM

I have 2, the original CG model (combat grade) and the limited MOD model, same as yours only with a combo edge (only 50 made).

WhichDawg · **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2008, 10:27:11 PM

they are sold out now!

Splat · **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2008, 12:01:27 AM

40 minutes, I believe it was!

I can't wait. I'm sitting here thinking of all the rest of the gear I gotta get for camping this year. Well, the knife department is now taken care of.

WhichDawg · **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2008, 01:02:26 AM

whatcha looking for in camping gear? I too have been accumulating better/more camping gear.
I like to go here; http://www.sierratradingpost.com/ for some great deals, especially the clearance section.

Splat · **Reply #16 on:** March 10, 2008, 07:59:19 PM

I pretty much need everything except knife and sleeping bag. The bag I bought in Colorado and used on many a hunting trip so I know it's up to the task. I'm trying to decide on a tent or try a hammock. I've been reading http://www.hammockforums.net and other sites to get the low-down...... may wind up rolling my own. I'm getting next month's Backpacker ragazine with their annual gear picks. Can't wait for the warm weather to get here.

Splat · **Reply #17 on:** March 20, 2008, 10:09:34 PM

I'll repost what I entered in the SYKC's forums:

"Well folks, it's almost two weeks since the sale of the DMDC. I haven't heard hide nor hair from anyone representing SYKC since that day. I've sent two emails, roughly 5 days apart and still no response. I needed a knife for an outing which was to commence the end of next week. I figured the DMDC would fit the bill and would be here by then but I'm feeling that won't happen. If a company is going to move, put up a notification on the homepage or order page(s) of such. This would ensure the customer (A) knows the company is moving, and (B) that there could be a delay in receiving the products ordered. This is my first dealings with SYKC. I've heard good reviews of their knives and customer service. So far, folks, I'm not impressed. I have received zero customer service so far."

I'm expecting numerous "Hey, they're moving. Give them a break." responses being it is SYKC's own forums.

Gee, am I asking for a left nut here?

Mike, Lord of the Spammers! · **Reply #18 on:** March 20, 2008, 10:31:52 PM

I'd call it pretty poor service if a company has taken your money, but not replied to emails or sent out the goods!

WhichDawg · **Reply #19 on:** March 20, 2008, 10:35:10 PM

I did read that there bro. Let me tell you from personal first time experience there, it can be real hard!
I waited 4 months for my first blade from them, with several emails saying; "soon they'll be available"

to placing an order, getting charged, waiting 2 weeks, and then being told their was a glitch in the system and they have no
knives now, here's a refund!

I feel for you bro, honest. but after you get that first one, you'll understand. I would say their customer service shines, after
you get your first! like if you have problems or learn how the system works.

I'm not saying that's best way their is but them being so popular, and the move, it bees that way...

WhichDawg · **Reply #20 on:** March 20, 2008, 10:38:08 PM

I don't think I've ever gotten confirmation of my order, or shipping notices, and I've ordered from them about 10 times
the way you know is when everyone starts posting they've received their knife.

Splat · **Reply #21 on:** March 21, 2008, 12:26:09 AM

Believe me brother, I'm an understanding guy and try to treat people the way I'd like to be treated. If I knew about the move before ordering and that it _could_ take a good couple of weeks to get the knife I would not have ordered. In fact, if I don't hear anything by Monday I'll be starting a dispute with Paypal. They knew they'd be offering these knives up in a big sale that would generate many orders. I think it was bad timing on their part because of the move.

WhichDawg · **Reply #22 on:** March 21, 2008, 01:16:32 AM

I really understand your frustration bro. I was as shocked as anybody when they announced their move.
they have been in business for alittle over a year now and I think they are learning many things. I think your post
there was warranted and understandable. I wouldn't be surprised if people started getting their blades next week...

WhichDawg · **Reply #23 on:** March 22, 2008, 05:34:14 AM

it seems they started shipping today!

Thats good, I hope there's a happy ending to this soon

I don't know if that was posted to calm the natives or not but based upon all the high praise heaped on the Busse family I've decided to just chill and see what happens. It also appears my trip will not happen afterall because my buddy has work changes. He has a well-known recording studio and they have a big band coming in to start their next album that he'll be working on. I could go myself but where I planned on going I'd rather have a companion along for safety, and maybe sanity, reasons.

I don't blame you mate, there is safety in numbers where sharp stuff concerned
