Jesus that's a nice looking knife.
Seems like I've been waiting forever for this.
SOLD!!! WHATEVER THE PRICE. price has to be right, this is scrap yard and although the sr77 blades live up to the performance/$ claim, i think the stainless blades have fallen short. comparing it exclusively to other 154cm blades is taking exception to the mission statement. +1 I LOVE the look of this knife, but regardless, I can buy NICE 154CM or better steel blades all day long for under $100 and not much more with custom shaped micarta or nicer handles. Heck... I can make something similar myself at this point! For Res-C AND Satin (for me), I am still hoping for and NEEDING a good price. Price "IS" a factor - mission statement or not. .

SR77 is best for the choppers, I hope this one is 154cm or maybe Dan can steal a load of SR101 from the swamp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree, this is by far the best looking Scrapyard knife ever, granted I realize that is my opinion but WOW, that is not just a home run, it is a grand slam

So, do I have this right....? 154CM = better edge retention - less durable - more common SR-77 = less edge retention - more durable - proprietary to SY SR-101= Even more edge retention - even more durable - Proprietary to SR INFI = Most retention and durability of all of these and proprietary to Busse blades... Correct? I'm just making sure i have all of this down. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I don't believe I've seen KG gush like this over a knife since I joined the Yard <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> It's his fault I bought a RatManDu and he was right it's the best 5" knife I have <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> When Dan announced the Scrapper 5 I was sure I would pass. Afterall I already have 4 Bussekin 5" knives <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'm still waiting on specs and price to make a final decision but it looks like I may be purchasing another 5" knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
If you don't sharpen your axe from time to time, you will soon be chopping with a hammer.

Also, 154CM is classified as a stainless steel (more accurately, corrosion resistant), which tend to be more brittle than non-stainless steels, although 154CM is one of the best; INFI is not considered stainless, but has fairly good corrosion resistance. SR-77 and SR-101 are both carbon steels and will rust if not cared for, although reports are that SR-77 does not pit as badly as SR-101.

However, This S5 could benefit from SR-101's "GREAT" all-around qualities - "Including" slicing! Unless, corrosion resistance is your concern, in which case SR-101 trades corrosion resistance for toughness and ease of sharpening vs. 154CM gains corrosion resistance and not quite as tough or easy to sharpen as SR-101. Either will be good in my book, but I REALLY am a big fan of SR-101 even if it rusts easier than many steels. Still SR-101 is more resistant to rust than O1, 1095 and many others. .

SR-77 and SR-101 are both carbon steels and will rust if not cared for, although reports are that SR-77 does not pit as badly as SR-101. +1 Good summary once Jim's comments are updated. But, I might add that I personally think SR-101 has edge properties/qualities very comparable to INFI. And while SR-101 is not as tough as INFI per lab tests or whatever, in the field, SR-101 has almost never been broken and has proven to be VERY tough! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> - Matter of fact, the only edge chip I remember seeing could VERY likely have been caused by heat damage related to owner grinding improperly (??????). Bottom line: Even though INFI and SR-77 are two of the TOUGHEST knife steels on the planet, SR-101 is STILL VERY tough and PLENTY tough for my uses and many SR-101 knives including some large choppers have been HEAVILY used and abused over the years and scoff at failure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" /> .
