Knife steel is important but so is design.. INFI comes with micarta- ok on little knives not so good on big choppers, sr77 comes with res-C, great on big choppers and little mudder handles are rather good too...

I've got an unused Badger Attack in INFI and a beat up S6 in sr77 (overall length is the same to within a half inch). It isn't the price difference stopping me using the Badger!! I hate rust by the way, but sr77 doesn't like to rust much either.

Oh and welcome to the yard!
