Scrap yard knives company part of Busse knives , The SYKCO 711 is a 12.5 inch (31.7 cm) long knife which I would call a survival knife, but more heading towards survival/camping. The steel is SR-101 with a proprietary HT by Scrap Yard. It is basically 52100 steel with a special heat-treat. The blade itself is a quarter inch thick(6.1 mm) and
coated with a black crinckle coating.
The handle is Resiprene C. This material was used on Busse's Basic line. It is ,according to SY, an all-terrain truck tire without its disadvantages.
It is very tacky and reminds me about a handlematerial called, Forprene. Used by Extrema Ratio and Fox Knives. I've heard Res C is very durable and nearly impervious to
salt, fluids, DEET(insect
repellent), heat etc. The ergonomics are great and it insulates well.
The tang is full and slopes inside the handle so it makes it almost as strong as a complete full tang without excessive weight, because a fixed blade usually breaks
at its ricasso-area. But this knife is so thick and stout and I have never heard people complaining on them failing. It is a tank.
