Just curious...How does the SR-77 and SR-101 compare to a steel like the CPM S30V? Anyone know or have any thoughts? They are both tougher than S30V.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Apples to oranges. I know some folks who won't buy fixed blade knives constructed of S30V. They feel it's just too brittle for the kind of stress a fixed blade should be able to handle. Give me SR77 and SR101 any day over S30V! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yeah I only like stainless in folders - small enough and weak enough that the brittleness isn't gonna be an issue.

I have a few fixed blades in S30V, the Al Mar SERE Operator, Chris Reeve Green Beret, and the Ritter Survival. They are good knives, and I really put the GB through some beating and abuse, but for toughness I'd choose any of the Busse-made steels or one of the Rangers in 5160 over my S30V blades. If Scrappers, Swamp Rats, and Busses weren't tougher than ordinary knives, none of us would even be here on this forum.

I hope that Dan brings more SR101 (and Infi) to the Yard in all shapes and sizes.

I hope that Dan brings more SR101 (and Infi) to the Yard in all shapes and sizes. +2 I think I would even prefer Differentially heat treated SR-101 for a Wakazashi! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> SR-101 is EXTREMELY tough and PLENTY tough for EXTREME use blades of MANY sizes. Differentially heat treated as needed offers even more toughness when needed. Although, I have seen some through hardened Battle Rats take pretty tough abuse. And I just LOVE the edge properties (sharpness, edge holding, ease of sharpening, etc.) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> .

Yeah I'd definitely love to see more SR101 make it to the Yard. After figuring out the source of the damage to my mini mojo, I am incredibly impressed with how little damage it actually did. Very impressive stuff.

Yeah I love the differentially tempered blades like the old school BR and CT. I stripped my BR and it showed the temper line really good. It makes the blade look that much better. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Visible temper lines look hot... kinda make me drool a little bit.
