I have a large Ranger custom Trench Khuk made out of 77 and it sits under the saet of my rig. 77 is great - but I do like many other steels like 101-5160-ATS-D2 etc.Probably my favorite is 3V and I am having a custom made out of it right now that is .269 that is a butt kicker. Jimmie actually has porno names for this one as is only way to describe this pup <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />. The thing is awesome.Anybody else like 3 V <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I also, would like to see lots of sr101 released by Dan! not to say that I don't like sr77... but sr101 just fits a broader range of categories for knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I know I am still a pound puppy, which I am kind of embarrassed about, but SR-77 definitely seems like the soul of Scrap Yard. I would just love to see the new Regulator Bowie in SR-77. A .33'' thick SR-77 bowie would be nearly indestructible!

Really? My understanding was that SR-77 was more resistant to corrosion, and was less malleable. Is that incorrect Bruce?

True indeed! I couldn't believe the video of the new Swamp Rat Waki. That dude chopped down a tree, and then showed the knife still slicing through paper like a razor blade...awesome stuff!

No- Both steels are good and I like having some choice. It seems to me that both are good steels and each has its strong points be it strength, toughness, corrosion resistance or price. I don't think either should go away and since SY and SR have reputations built on these two steels, I don't see either disappearing anytime soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think the Regulator in 101 was a really great idea and agree with Bruce here. The thing is a tank <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />!! Plus-being a fatty there is no way in hell you are going to break it.If you don't believe this read the thread Bruce quotes on the famous Camp Tramp <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />!! The edge retention is supierior to 77 and this blade looks to be another winner. I'll take one in each color PLEASE <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Retired!?@! This country can no longer afford social security. SR-101 is going to have to work till it dies like the rest of us! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Excluding some of the 'privileged' Dogs on this forum, of course. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
