Hard to compare them like that though due to the RAT knives being thinner stock than the Yardkeeper and a thinner grind.I'm pretty sure that if they were of the same dimensions you would find 1095 holds an edge better than SR77 but not quite as well as SR101 !

WARNING, some BLOOD & GORE!


I'm sorry but I disagree, SR-77 eats 1095 steel!
Look, don't get me wrong, RC knives are superb knives but it's not the steel I want to grow old hunting/camping with.
But saying that, my son & daughter now have an Izula each. Like I said, they are fine knives, especially for the $$$. Just not for me, when I have SR-77, SR101, INFI or Strider S30V steels <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I'm going to add a few pictures that do contain some blood & gore. Please don't take offense to these but rather look at them for what they are. TESTS!
I'm a hunter that gets out nearly every second weekend & as I do test a few knives in the bush & at home. I probably should put my findings forward more often!
So IMHO SR-77, SR101, INFI & S30V rocks. They all hold there edge(never a need to touch up on a bone-out/cape-out like this). Some other steels do.
