The extra steel in the res-C would make for a tougher knife- not easy being tougher than a CT (from what Cliff said!!!). The extra spine weight of the S7 would help chopping but doesn't sr101 take and hold a better edge? I figure all things being equal they'd be a good match performance wise..
S7 will take more of a beating than sr101 but gives it up where edge retention is concerned. At least that's what I've been led to believe.
