I've been looking for a Scrap Yard Dogfather for quite some time....

Viewed by most as the "Flagship" of the Scrap Yard line, the chopper was legendary in toughness, and listed as a "must have". Sadly, despite all the "Re-release the DF" posts/requests on SY Forums, it didn't appear the chopper was coming back.

A month or two ago, there was a Ganza (Busse knife special sale) that offered Desert Dogfathers, but sadly, I didn't get selected to purchase one.

It seemed that the secondary market was my only hope. Unfortunately, most of the DF's I saw for sale there were in the $200-$275 range. I considered those mark ups a bit steep, but resigned myself to the fact that I'd have to pay $200+ for the knife.

It was strangely serendipitous that last Monday I saw a DDF offered for sale on eBay. It was a user, it came with a Kydex sheath, and it was surprisingly affordable. I tossed out a lowball bid, convinced it would be exceeded when the auction ended 8 hrs later. I came home from dinner out to find that I won the knife for my initial lowball bid. oo:

Anyway, it arrived today, and pix are below. It's been sharpened (once according to the seller), and used, but I planned on beating the hell out of it anyway. Plus it came with a sheath!

Nice score - it looks great! That's gotta be one heck of a chopper too...

I like the Scrapyard family pics.
