101-77- INFI etc are all great steel.There is MANY great steels out there like S30V-5160 etc. I for one love the 154 that SY has used on some models and would like to see them even use some other steels. For the majority of us we will never need all the strenghth that Busse blades offer- but is nice to have it.What I look at is the quality and design that go into the SY knives at a REAL FAIR price. These guys put some very nice blades out there that I can USE or set aside if I choose. I doubt you are going to ever lose your investment.In the years to come I would like to see this crew branch out with their talents to some of the other great steels availible today and put their spin on it. I think the best is still to come from Busse and look forward to each and every release <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />. Just mt 2 cents- Thanks
