I have been doing a ton of research on a lot of diffirent knives and a lot of diffirent steels. I'm speaking on rough use knives here not closet queens.
I eventually narrowed down the knives worth a damn and RAT falls into this category. Along with Busse kin knives , maybe ranger , Becker and a few others.
My main thing is I have seen the distruction tests on knifetest.com and although this doesent show practical uses other than batoning , chopping I think it shows the quality of the steel and the heat treat. Some 1095 do better than others and I am convinced that there is a diffirence.
There is no denying sr77 but I think that propery treated 1095 can perform almost to the same level. What do you guys think. Is it really worth the extra money for sr steels?
Especially with Increadable warranties like the ones being offered by RAT.
