I thought this thread would be about TRASH not T-R-A-S-H...oh wait! Let the talkin' continue
Hey how do you ESEE users feel their 1095 holds up against SR101?
I heard 1095 doesn't hold an edge as long but that its MUCH easier to sharpen

After thinking it over, I am glad I scored that extra green sr-101 711 on the last ganza. As I was hoping for something longer due to months of 10" hung crescent teasing and still have ganza overhead I will most likely stay out of the trash. This even though at the price it seems like a nice offering. I will say if it was sr-101 I would be all over it though, so I guess I'm spoiled!

MM, 1095 does not really stack up to SR101, BUT it's been a good performing steel for a really long time (think the really old Mercedes truck springs that birthed the uncountable number of khukris and all sorts of machetes for the last 100 or so years). It will not hold an edge anywhere near the SR101 level, but you can use a rock to sharpen it. And 1095 has built ESEE knives side of their business, TOPS, Becker K&T (regardless of who was actually making the knives), big chunk of Ka-Bar and Ontario... If that wasn't enough it still is widely used by a lot of custom makers, so it has to be good for something... The real question is how much the legendary Busse HT will add to 1095's performance.

Thanks Elof! I ordered one piece of TRASH...I did have shop credits as well from the past TWO Sip n Talks. I love Res-C and people have been asking for a Yard ASH for a Loooooooooong time. Jerry could always make a ASH Basic in INFi and ResC as well Yeah I'ld heard 1095 was easy to sharpen. I have my SHTF knives everything else is for Tactical Yardwork, or just fun MM

Well, just teasing Andy a little. I guess I'm just envious of his African hunting trip.
