Scrap Yard Muk

[Alfredo]

Hello everybody,
this is my first review on this forum, so I apologize in advance for the mistakes that I'll sure do

I had my SY Muk any weeks ago, I used him a lot on outdoors, and time by time I was becoming a fan of this knife

Probably you still know the origin of this kind of knife: G.W. Sears - aka Nessmuk - was a outdoorsman and a writer

who choose for his trips on the woods this trio of tools

so, the fixed blade choosen by Sears took the name of "Nessmuk", and this is the modern version of this knife, as per Scrap Yard Knives, the Muk:


you may find specs at the SY link

Let's start with any light jobs, in the kitchen




and now a few of batoning, fuzz-sticking, notching





this is my preferred way to wear my Muk, especially on winter


all in all, a good knife, handy and easy to use, IMHO great for camping and outdoors activities, wit a reasonable cost


Thanks for reading! Ciao from Italy, Alfredo

I like the shape but not the handle so much - looks like it would be very grippy though!

I can see that a rucksack and knife is essential wear in your bathroom too - looks like you could get lost in there it's huge!

Those knives look great! I've never heard of them before.

I think Scrap Yard knives are an offshoot of Busse KINGPIN

Busse, Swamp Rat, Scrap Yard: the same family.
SY are the cheapest, than you have Swamp Rat, finally Busse. I own any knives of each brand, and they are all great, IMHO.

If Busse did a proper bushcraft style knife i would buy one, i've heard great things about INFI.

nice knife, shame we can't wear it like that!

Great looking knife, Alfredo, the handle looks like it would be good for baton work. It looks as if it would absorb a lot of shock from each blow of the baton.
