maybe i think too much.i definitely drink to much but i got to wondering.

with the technology of our time and production methods today's knives have to be the best in the history of mankind particularly regarding toughness assuming we're talking higher end knives here and not chines 420 stainless junk or even mid level stuff like gerber or buck.

now is it a question that pound for pound busse kin knives are the toughest knives made by any company in the world,particularly Busse with INFI and Scrapyard with SR77?? i dont have any experience with CPM-3V but hear its pretty tough.

so if todays knives are the best ever and busse kin are the toughest of our time...{up for debate}... does that officially mean that busse kin knives are the toughest knives ever made in the history of man kind???

i admit that i dont know much about ancient cutlery history and really anything regarding cutlery history beyond WW2.i'm sure maybe some of the knives made samurai style may have been technically tougher with their layering,i really dont know but think it could be possible and is a pretty cool thought.

they've got to be up their towards the top at least.i would think a .320 ASH-1 or FFFBM made of INFI could hold its own respectively along with a .285 CGDM of SR77 and while i like swamprat better than scrapyard or busse i dont think that SR101 {52100} has that reputation for extreme toughness comparatively speaking.
