I can't force myself to choose one. I like options.

I recall the DFLE being $70 less than the M9LE. anyone recall the prices of the HC and MPLE? Release price for the HCLE was $138.95 (nearly the price of a DF CG); MPLEs were $79.95 (and BDLEs were $89.95)

I'm a bit biased I guess but it is SR101 all the way for me. They are definitely tough enough for me since I've had my CT for years after years now and I don't see how I can ever push its limit. It is a bit unfair to compare to the SOD since I didn't spend a whole lot of times with the SOD out yet.
With that said, if I have to pick only one I would have to go with SR101. I've spent too many years with 'em to go with the SR77. And hey, if the SR101 can cut thru car doors who am I to say that it ain't tough enough? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

this is blowing my mind... THE YARD and guys are picking the steel that Dan has JUST NOT started using... I pick SR77 over SR101 all day long. but to each his own. SR77 is a better soldiers steel IMO.

It is true that Dan is just about to start using the SR101 but us Rats have years of experience with the SR101 be it the big boy BR or CT or small blades like the HR. They just have no weakness for my use <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

I voted for SR-77 as this is what differentiates SY from SR. I like having some choices. I don't want everything made of Infi - I don't want everything made of any one steel for that matter. I prefer to keep my choices...Now, that said, I do like that the Yard changes is up every now and then with SR-101 and the 154CM and I hope that trend continues. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> My two cents...

Okay, before KG takes away my right to vote <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> - let me clarify...
I have never used either steel but I came here thinking that what differentiated SY, SR and Busse were the steels. As a person who likes choice, and given the restrictions of the poll (If SY could only use one steel) I would choose SR-77 because I can get 101 at SR. If SR and SY only used 101 then I could never get 77 at all. Make sense?

I have never used SR101. So I am abstaining from voting. Even after it will be tough as context is very relevant to this question.

fair enough knotslip. i get ya. i have had a love affair with SR77 ever since i got my first S6. this is the steel DAN built the Yard on and it wont be surpassed or replaced by the RAT steel or Hog steel. SR77 will always be in Dan's heart and back yard - right in the places where God and Dan wants and needs it to be. LONG LIVE SR77!!!!!!

on another note, i think the massive love affair with SR101 is due to its lack of appearance in the past few years and its resurfacing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> SR77 aint going nowhere, so i can sleep good at night <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
