To be honest if Dan can't get good stainless he might as well stick with good old sr77 imho for the little 'uns.. I'm glad to hear Dan has no plans to use micarta, my Badger Attack's got micarta and that is all of that stuff I'll ever want! Res-C is better, period! I would like to see the yard move over to grey blades instead of black though, they look less military but could still be used by the military amongst us..
