on another note, i think the massive love affair with SR101 is due to its lack of appearance in the past few years and its resurfacing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> SR77 aint going nowhere, so i can sleep good at night <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
lack of appearance? what? recent years? aren't you new to these knives?
"love affair." i have had one rat until now and sold it. the swarden. i have no devotion to sr101 and i did not purchase an S5. the M9 is the first rat i both own and love. coulda been SR77. coulda been infi. it happens to be sr101. the designs the clan produces are the deciding factor for me, never the steel. i'll taking any of them, including 154CM.
now lets be clear about why people like the SR77 knives. it's not the "superior steel." it's the price or the respirene-c handle. i will question, even challenge, any data i see (i haven't) that indicates the superiority of SR77 to SR101 or infi.
