In PoP's defense, I understand why he feels that SR77 is married to Scrap Yard. It's not his fault. It's DAN's fault for making so many great knives out of that alloy. But clearly, we shouldn't have any more loyalty to a specific alloy than Dan has.
If Dan is willing to change alloys or handle materials or whatever, we should be willing to do the same. That's the definition of loyalty AFAIC.
Bruce is right. It's about the company, not the steel.
Dan has made some very good knives out of different steels. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
