I went out chopping with my Camp Tramp this past weekend and it performed perfectly!
This is what I have picked up from various threads:
Toughness: SR77 > Infi (just barely behind) > SR101... you won't break any of them
Edge Retention: SR101 > Infi (just barely behind) > SR77... but they all stay sharp
Corrosion/Rust Resistance: Infi > SR77 > SR101... Infi is almost Stainless in it's resistance
You won't go wrong with any of them. Personally, I prefer SR101 for smaller/medium, Infi for any size, and SR77 for larger blades. Your milage may vary. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I believe that is a VERY good summary and in a much shorter and more concise way than I could apparently do. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
Thanks for saving me many hours. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
I will add a little stress to the part of toughness where stated: "You won't break ANY of them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />
So, they are all plenty tough enough. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Which one is tougher is actually somewhat moot.
ALSO, They ALL come with a lifetime warranty, so again, toughness is moot. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
