Boss Dan does seem to be a magician, he finds ways to things others don't seem to have a clue on! I would never doubt his "ingenuity and surprise factor!"

We can hope....We can hope....We can hope! Of course that can lead to answers like Wish in one hand......


Life is a grindstone. Whether it grinds you down or polishes you, depends on what you're made of

So, what is the big deal about INFI? The SR-77 seems tough enough to me. Isn't it similar to jack hammer bit steel? How [censored] tough does a knife need to be? The only significant difference I can tell between my Busse and my DF is the DF has a better handle.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I understand SR-7 is jack hammer steel, SR-77 has more mods. And of course Dan's "special" heat treatments. But a good point HD. If I never get Infi I will be happy with SR-77.

How about a ScrapYard "Thrower!" I've been reading about many who have been throwing the DM and others, or trying too! Maybe a small, tough, balanced blade made for zipping threw the air!!

Just so Dan makes it BIG. I can't stick little knives very well.

Even Boss Dan's "little" blades are beefier and bigger than the rest. I'm sure they'd stick out and through whatever we planted them in!

Dan certainly does like to make fat knives, all right. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> How about a 1/4" thick, SR-77 Skeleton Scrapper based on an Assault Shaker/Rat Shaker design?

Can I get a "HELL YEAH!"?
HELL YEAH, I'll take two.

I, for one, am really ready for a short, stout, Res-C handled or skeletonized EDC in the sub-$60 price range . . . possibly the Scrapper 3 or a Scrap Yard version of the Assault Shaker/Rat Shaker. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

Sounds good to me! Something affordable enough to buy multiples of! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

This has been talked about a lot in the past on the Swamp forum (before the Yard existed) about SR101 vs. INFI and why it was better. For that discussion, people that owned both and used them hard said that SR101 would do like 90% of what INFI would do. INFI does have a slight edge in performance, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. SR101 or SR77 is plenty good enough for most people. INFI is like 10% better performace, for 2x-3x the price. Really, it’s for those who want and can afford the very best. The price to performace is not reasonable to the average knife buyer. SR77 shines in impact resistance, and SR101 does with edge retention. So, generally, SR77 is better for choppers, and SR101 is better for smaller knives. Hmm…maybe Jerry makes INFI by mixing SR101 and SR77. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> That would combine impact strength and edge retention. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thank you very much, Andy. Some of us are still new to the Busses. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
