I should add 2 pictures(SR-77(DFLE) vs SR101(CW), but I wont <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> . It clearly shows the difference! How I see it is, SR-77 will bend where SR101 will break given the same HARD use. Now I'm a firm believer in "a dull knife is always better than a broken knife". So as much as I dig SR101 as some great steel I just want to KISS. SR-77 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
