INFI is a tool steel with the following formulation:
V .36% Vanadium
Cr 8.25% Chrome
Fe 87.79% Iron
Co .95% Cobalt
Ni .74% Nickel
Mo 1.3% Molybdenum
C .5% carbon
N .11% Nitrogen Thanks. I have seen that on bladeforums before. I was more curious if it was based off of some pre-existing steel. Much like SR-101 is based off of 52100, and SR-77 is based off of S7.

I would also vote for a S7 Pure Bred Fighter. I also think there is a market for a no nonsense fighter that does not cost an arm and a leg with SF units and wannabees like myself. In countrys where you can't carry a gun(everywhere but the US) a PBF is about the best self dence weapon there is. Even against a handgun knives are far better than most people realize. As long as you are closer than 20 feet from your enemy the knife has the advantage.

Yeah. Do you think Authorize.net's server would survive if Dan unleashed a Skelly Warden in SR-77 for $40.00? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I'd buy several.

The general thinking is, that if someone is within 20 feet of you with a knife, you will have a hard time drawing a pistol and taking a shot before you get cut. The knife is not at an advantage. Thus the way you put it, you would be attacking someone with a holstered weapon by charging them with a knife.

You also have to remember that these knives are being offered as leftover materials that Busse was experimenting with. Once they are gone, they are gone. Now, I kow they probably have a lot of SR77 and who knows what else. But SR101 and INFI will be around and as long as their resiprene supplies last, scrapyard is bound to do well. One could infer from Cobalt's statement that Scrap Yard Knife Works has a limited life expectancy. Cobalt makes it sound as if once Dan runs out of SR-77 and Res-C, he won't be able to get any more. Any truth to that allegation, Dan? No truth to that statement. Just think of the number of dumpsters that are out there! Scrap would have to stop being produced and that has not happened since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The ScrapYard concept was founded on the basis of a sustaining business model to insure the longevity of the company. I will admit that there are fine lines that we need to walk to insure high performance at the lowest possible price but that is what the game is all about. Dan

Much like SR-101 is based off of 52100, and SR-77 is based off of S7. yes it's based of the CHIPPER steel class air hardenning steels like A8, but the similarities end there. INFI has different microconstituents than the other steels and it's processing is different as well, although I do not know exactly how as that is their secret not mine <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Dan Awesome so there will be an unlimited supply of SR77 and resiprene C. COOL!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> How about stealing some of Jerry's other steels in the shop like A2, D2, 5160, Damascus and doing something with those. Dan, if you keep on making sure Jerry has a steady supply of Pigs nose you can pretty much taking anything he's got.

Thus the way you put it, you would be attacking someone with a holstered weapon by charging them with a knife. it depends on many factors, too numerous to get into here. However, I will offer my own anecdote. I took a tactical pistol class one time and the subject came up, so we deomonstrated, or more to the point were demonstrated on. There was a fellow there who was able to draw his weapon and fire it accurately very, very, very fast. The knife attacker didn't stand a chance. When it came my turn I had about a 50% success rate. And there was another fellow there who died by knife each time. Speed, reaction time, reflexes, adrenaline, etc... all play their roles in the gun vs. knife scenario. Personally, it's something I'd rather avoid, but given the choice between my Sig or a knife, I'll choose Sig. Peace Jerry

Peace Jerry I think you will find that a man with a knife within 20ft will reach you nearly every time. This is a proven fact. It's been tried 100's of times and the blade always reaches the target even if the blade holder gets shot he always hits his man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3HR2O2m068
