knifeguy, i think we have a different definition of "razor sharp." only non sharp knife i have received has been a scrap yard blade..... ironically. busse and sr always send me sharp pieces.

can you honestly say that you've ever received a Busse Kin blade as sharp as your Spyderco?

I know MY DFLE could shave the hair off my arm, I would say that is "shaving sharp"
but I din't think it was "scary sharp"
...

and my yardkeeper was aproaching sharp, but because of it's better profile it could push cut paper.

these are just words ("scary sharp" "shaving sharp" ect.)
but I was just letting you know what they mean to me.

I would say the DFLE had the perfect factroy edge, I wouldn't want a knife (one that was meant for hard use, like a 10 Inch chopper would be) too sharp, because I would think it might roll or damage easier.

I agree with EMF. While I have no experience with SY knives, I remember that my RMD came nicely sharpened. It was a while ago, so I don't totally remember, but it quickly reached really scary sharp.

As for hard use knives, its hard to know exactly how sharp hard use knives should be, but my RTAK is very sharp and I've never had issues at all with rolling or denting... except when I struck a rock with the trip, but even those dents are sharpening out


I've used my RMD really hard, and the thin, sharp edge has held up without flinching


Have you hugged your camp knife today?

I think that has something to do with steel too.
sharp may have no problems with his RMD's razor sharp edge.
but where sr77 is more easily deformed so it might roll or dent easier.

although I think since we are talking about INFI and sr101 it doesn't matter, since they may be pretty close in that area.

no but i never equate anything betwwen busse and spyderco.

busse = abrahams tank
spyderco = makeshift afghan armored go cart


spydercos blades are thinner, but i can tell u that my busse SD'S AND SWARDENS ARE SHARP AS I DONT KNOW WHAT!

back to the original threads topic before it was hijacked...


infi vs sr101...

so... infi is less likely to rust and twice as tough but this cant be seen in a knife as small as the sd or swarden????

reconseed - <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Spyderco is another great knife company with amazing customer service. We just went over this in another thread, if you want to badmouth other companies find another forum in which to do it.

the bigger the knife, the more the advantage goes to INFI. In a knife as small as a sd or swarden, the advantages of INFI do not outweigh the premium one has to pay for it.
I agree, basically, you're not breaking either of them...

and INFI doesn't have that huge of an advantage in the edge holding.

still, to some, just knowing they have the toughest knife out there can be nice.

and I think it was overlooked before in the midst of some other stuff, but one guy beat on an m6 for 6-8 hours with a pipe wrench (I'm pretty sure) and it still survived.

andy might be able to find the thread for you.
