"Scrapyard Sykcos: HOF Woods Blades" by Nutnfancy

I was stoked to see these blades perform so well. Enter the Scrapyard Sykco 511, 711, and 911 blades into TNP Hall of Fame. Made of Busse's SR-101 steel, they took a beating and showed no wear. Granted this is one data point but all indications point up. No chipping, bending and showing excellent edge retention after chopping and batoning in high alpine, snowy environments. Granted a properly heated treated 5160 or 1095 steel can also satisfy me and several TNP HOF blades feature those steels too. Reprofiling the little Sykco 511 yielded an amazingly sharp and durable 25º edge (shown). The large Sykco 911 was especially impressive with an authoritative swing, superb balance, and a comfortable shock absorbing Resiprene handle. It is a serious woods blade that will minimize TCE expenditures. Each size attacks a specific POU and you should find the one that best suits your system in these three knives. This is discussed with the specifics, lots of testing footage shown (with Allie!). Still-attractive competitive options shown. Value is good but not outstanding as no sheath is provided and shipping is expensive (plus you will have to wait). But this limited edition American produced woods blades by this Busse company will not disappoint you when you get them in hand. They are worth it. /////////////////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale on Sykco 511, 711, 911: 9 out of 10 (10 if they had sheaths) //////////////////////Purchase at www.scrapyardknives.com and tell them Nutnfancy sent ya'.
