The OP needs to look intoYou're still around,Gossman Knives ! I'm really happy for that! If you're still in business, the OP can't find a tougher knife to batton with!
The OP needs to look intoCrag the Brewer I've been watching what he's been doing. He's right on point to make it big time.

That can ruin you. stay focused, stay humble and enjoy the rewards. Egos destroy a lot of good knife makers. Remember where you came from and the people who helped you succeed.
SR77 is tough, but I’m not crazy about its edge holding ability. SR101 is tough and holds a razor edge like grim death.Except an SR77 based, 0.28” fat Swamp Rat![]()

That said, ANY Busse/kin the right size would be a top candidate for batoning abuse. They love it.
