It would greatly help if Eric would actually post there. He does more typing to correct infractions on bladeforums then he has in quite a while at either of the swamp rat forums. When he does actually post its to put in a pic with very little verbedge and he does not seem inclined to answer questions, perhaps he is just tired of it all. I hope they are not gone as I think that, differentially tempered, SR101 is a match for SR77 and INFI in terms of toughness and has great edge holding.
