I want a Game Warden and a Warboar made by Scrapyard..WHEW THERE I SAID IT!!!
The INFI warboar is a waste...you dont need ultimate edge holding from a slasher...MAKE IT IN SR77 or heck even O-1 and I would buy it!
A kerambit in SR-101 or SR-77 is an equal waste, for what a kerambit is used for.
lets be honest guys...How many of us are REALLY going to test these knives to a point that we could even tell a difference?? I would say around 95% of knifebuyers wont ever take it to that level
I can see folks really testing out a steel's ability in something like a 6-7" camp knife or 9-10" bowie or a crash axe, but not a neck knife or a kerambit.

So noted, Cobalt. We'll see what Dan has to say . . . if he chooses to say anything at all. But for the record, my position is unchanged. There is simply no conceivable way anyone can lose by purchasing a knife made by Scrap Yark Knife Works! PERIOD!!! As long as Dan continues to produce knives and sticks to his game plan of offering the best performance for the lowest cost, I'll continue to buy them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> 100% in agreement. Not a better deal to be had anywhere. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

[quote]Jerry sums it up pretty well. S77 is tougher than INFI. By how much? I'd say about twice. Most of us will never see that difference between both of these super tough steels. No he did not say that read it again.[quote] I didn't say he did. It's my own opinion that S77 is tougher than infi. If that makes more sense.

I'm with bld522 on that one, the DF is the best value nearly-indestructable big chopper out there... Just take a mini cleaning kit and some oil on long camping trip to keep it shiny.
Bors- the DF will need sharpening more often than INFI and will surface rust MUCH more easily than INFI... However- I have a major problem with rust, I hate it, I hate steel that rusts.. I own an INFI SS4 and a sr77 S6, I have ordered a DF. Rust is just a surface ugly spot on these knives (till you clean it off) not a major drama. The DF will be the best knife you ever own unless you can live with micarta and you get a FBM!

Rust dosen't bother me I don't mind discolored carbon steel actually I like the looks and it's easy to remove. I do hate Pitting and prefer steels that resist it. IS SR-77 prone to pitting or just oxidation?

I think your way off and I think Jerry was pretty clear and if it was tougher, Jerry would have said, it is tougher, but he said that "it is every bit as tough as INFI" , not tougher than INFI. But you can pretty much make yourself believe anything you want if you wish. I know what INFI can do, I have been using it for nearly 10 years. both steels are based off of shock steels so I am pretty sure they will be similar in toughness as Jerry indicated

Bors I don't know if SR77 is, but S7 is not prone to pitting easily and SR77 having more Chrome in it should be even more resistant.

Hmmmm. I wonder what a Skelly Warden in SR-77 would look like. Could Dan make those cheap as hell or what? I'm thinking he could probably retail them for around $40.00 sterile. Given the demand for them, they should literally FLY off the shelves. And then he could save his supply of Res-C for bigger projects. Shhhh. Don't let Skunkster know I made that suggestion. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> All in favor of a Skelly Warden in SR-77 say "aye". (But quietly, quietly!)I agree! They should be quick to make too. No handle work needed at all on them. I like my Shaker and a similar small sized affordable skelly knife would be nice.

Just out of curiosity, what is INFI base steel, or derivative steel.

I think I would rather have a pepper shaker than a game warden.
Skeleton Keys are nice also.
On the other hand, forget that. Give me an SR-77 PBF.
Arf arf arf... That's my other dog impression.
