A shaker would be better in D2 or ATS34 as it would most likely be a skinner or little chore knife- so sr77 would be toughness overkill but a corrosion problem. sr77 is nearly unbeatable for big knives that hit trees, Jeeps and other stuff in need of destruction, but for a skinner/utility it's weaker as chemical attack to the edge takes it off quicker than stainless... Ok it'd (sr77) probably take a better edge to start with but lose it to acidity/corrosion attack quicker.

(I have a DF and SS4 for the above reasons..)
