How do you like it? I am getting a SOD soon and I want it to be my designated chopper. For those of you who have used it. How does the SR77 do? I know its insanely tough. I have heard its not terrible in edge holding but not horrible either.

I have a CGDF.

For an edc I would prefer SR101 just because it holds an edge for a long time and it is NOT weak. Just because SR77 is super strong doesn't mean SR101 is gonna break on you.

Also I suck at sharpening and don't want to have sharpen it all the time. That being said my DF holds an edge fine, but I don't use it every weekend either


If any of it makes any sense I am really looking forward to the 7-11...

I like my SOD, the SR77 does great with chopping.

take a look at horndogs review with the LE here:

http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthread...rt=all&vc=1

I hope horndog doesnt mind my quote: "The SOD is just a tad longer with a pointier point and a thumb rest. Instead of SR101 it uses Scrap Yard's S7, called SR77. It holds its edge well and was still plenty sharp after the use it got today.


The SODLE is a joy to use, with good balance and feel. And since it is made of the jack hammer steel that even Noss has trouble breaking, I am not worried at all about blade failure. Even if one were to destroy the Res C handle (squirrels will eat it), it has a near full tang that could still be used as a handle, especially with some tape or paracord wrapping. The SR77 steel is easy to sharpen, too. This knife carries light and probably can to the most work for the wieght carried (along with its cousin the Camp Tramp). "
