A through-hardened SR101 knife the size of the Scrapper 5 has more than enough lateral strength for any task that may be required of it.

i agree. i'd go further and say a 1/4" blade of SR101, even at 10", will be plenty tough through hardened.

course i'm only getting my first large sr101 blades now. (m9le, rat mastiff, and battle rat, and yes i'm giddy and showing off.)

And of course they are all differentially treated <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />(at least I think they are). By the way, [censored] that's a nice collection you got going there!
