I also feel there are many blade designs that could benifit from SR-77. I just feel (for my uses) that SR-77 is best suited for heavy beater knives and tools like Kukris and Crash Axes and other blades over 10.5" in length or tools needed to take EXTREME abuse WAY beyond normal knife or even heavy chopper use.... Since SR-101 obviously handles SERIOUS Chopping VERY well!!! , I think Busse is missing a significant market by not producing more SR-101.
