Hi, I am happy to be a new member here...I will be ordering my first ScrapYard knife very soon and am also waiting on my Battle Mistress to ship, so I am excited for these new additions to hit my collection(a modest one at that). I have a question...I have heard alot of "Bowie" talk here on this forum, as I am a Bowie fan as well, it seems that a 5/16" thick 10 1/2" long SR-77 blade would be the answer to some prayers. If you take the above described blade and compare it to the Cold Steel San Mai Three TrailMaster, as it shares those qualities(with the exception of being made from SR-77) although the TM may only be 9 1/2" long, anyway any experiences with the SR-77 vs. San Mai 3? I am pretty sure what kind of answers I will receive and I hope that I havent offended anyone...would just like some honest opinions. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
