sr101 holds an edge better. but in terms of brute force and smashing, etc, sr77 would be better... right?
not really that simple... because the sr77 may deform more than the sr101... which has a STRONGER edge. (though it may get some chips?)
also, when knotslip say's hard and soft... some steels can just act "harder" or "softer" depending on their strength and toughness.
INFI has BOTH qualities... and that's what makes it so amazing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Really, all steels have both qualities - but usually one wins out over the other. Think of it as a bar slider with strength on one side and toughness in the other. Each steel moves that slider to some position to achieve its strength and toughness. Just remember you can't use this slider to compare steels- only to describe a particular steels toughness/strength relationship. Infi sounds like it's slider is probably near the center of the sliding scale.
