This is pretty much where I'm at, too - any Busse blades I buy at this point are because I like the design of the knife, and not because of the steel.

If I could have snagged an NMSFNO, Killa Z, or High Street for a lower price, made from SR-101, at BLADE, I would have. Well, maybe not the killa z... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
