I was asking around for some at the gun show today, but no one even knew about them! They were like bus-what?
Enjoy every sandwich.

This whole SR77 vs SR101 toughness debate is ridiculous. Will somebody please show me a picture of an SR101 knife that has broken during field use? Somebody? Anybody? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> 338 Stalker broke the tip off his Chopweiler doing the old point test trick on some tough wood. Of course, it was replaced. I never said it was as tough as SR77, but breaking one isn't easy. You can see the pic over on SR Blade forum if you do a search.
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

Ahh the camp tramp. I must have one. Yes you must! That is the last knife I would ever sell. I hope to take it to the grave!..or pass it on to my son! And I just scored a bad [censored] sheath for it an hour ago!

Fair enough. But one out of how many? And how many Dog Fathers were sold that had chunks of steel fly off their edges due to air pockets. I doubt the Chopweiler's broken tip or the DF's chipped edges are typical of either knife. That's the way I see it, too. I don't know what is going on with the Busse plans, none of my business, really, but if Scrap Yard starts using SR101 they will still be less expensive than swamp rats because of the handles. And in my opinion and for my uses, I prefer the SR101 just a little. Either way, its not a big deal.

I honestly just can't even buy any fixed blades that are not Bussekin. Now if they would just release that darn Busse folder. Guess I have to look for a Rat Trap.
Enjoy every sandwich.

Never looked into Bark River. I've seen some of them, but never thought about them.
