Hi joebobz,

I don't think that any of the SS4's have shipped out yet so you may have to wait a few days to get peoples impressions. I will say for a fact that INFI is an outstanding steel and worth it if you can afford the price.

I will amend that statement enough to say that you will probably notice much more of a performance increase when comparing any other knife steel to the Yards SR77 or the Swamps SR101 than you will notice comparing SR77 and SR101 to INFI. They are all very high performance steels and can handle whatever you throw at them.

Regarding the release of the bowie...I sure hope they ship in time to take down the Christmas tree. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
