. . . it doesn't make sense to let SR101 languish in oblivion . . . at least not to me. And I'll bet if I ran a poll, I wouldn't be alone in feeling that way.
That would be a pretty decent poll Bruce. Being as you mentioned it -I will ask you to do it rather than me stepping in and being rude. I would ask that you mention several kinds of steel and maybe have folks pick them in the order they like best. Maybe even add some that other knife makers use as " might" help Bussekin see what the Dawgs/ Rats/Hogs are seeking and willing to to fork out their bucks for.Make for an pretty interesting thread and the new dawgs ( including me) can learn something about steel from you more knowlegeable guys <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />-Thanks
Actually, I asked the question some time ago whether SR101 steel should be retired now that SR77 is available. The resounding answer was NO! I tried finding the thread but I haven't had success yet. I'll post the link if I'm able to track it down.
Sounds good Bruce- I am just trying to pick the brains of some of the more knowledgeable here like you-Vic-Jeff-Tolly-Momaw and others. The steel on these knives and others surely is a deciding factor in our selections of blades I would think. I have spent much time studying this- but always nice to gain knowlege from others as to make intelligent purchases.I am also aware that there are other considerations when purchasing a knife- but the steel I find most interesting relating to performance-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
