Vic, SR101 is more rust prone than SR77 and it costs more.... (not worth it to me) I have used both knives side by side thank you. I have a CHopweiler, a Mini Mojo, and 3 wardens and 4 RIPs. Trust me Vic, I HAVE used this steel along side my SR77. I have just liked SR77 more. Its my personal opinion and Im sticking to it. If SR101 wasnt as rust-prone as it is, I would have more affection for it.
