I'll take the Scrap Yard thanks. My tests confirm for my use that Scrap Yard knives are better in the survival situation, in fact every situation, for me!
I agree. I like SR-77 over SR-101 anyday. The toughness factor is better as many have stated and I like that about a knife you are going to bet your life on. INFI, IMO, is only better than SR77 in the edge retention and easier to sharpen fields. It also is less prone to rusting than Sr77, but then again, SR77 doesnt rust NEARLY as fast as SR101 does.
Plus of course INFI comes with micarta and sr77 gets the res-C!! Anyone fancy hacking through live power cables with (unmodified) INFI? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
My worry with rust has always been under handles not on blades. Black goop under res-C works for me! (On the whole)..
My only Swamp Rat knife (getting back on topic a little!) is a HCLE, that came so d*mn dull it won't cut ANYTHING and frankly the design when compared to a CPM154 Bravo 1 (oddly that arrived a little dull) or my good old SS4 got it (HCLE) chucked in a drawer probably never to see the light of day again...
