Correct, no more SR101. New to them SR-3V with their own proprietary heat treat. Available on their site at present. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, want to hear about the "new model year" launch first. BIG fan of SR101, as well as INFI. No doubt the SR-3V will be robust. Looking fwd to comparison testing!

Anyone own the tgulb and have thoughts?
Not much really pulls my attention outside of CPK but for some reason, the tgulb has recently been a consideration

Yes. Very cool knife. One of the very few Busse with tang weight reduction. Very light for what it is.

Say, in use, compared to the SSDFK which is just a little shorter: main differences are choil and double guard. I'm going back and forth on the double guard, so I use the Dog Solider 8 more (almost identical blade but different handle).

Very helpful - thanks
The extra reduced weight in the ultra version is what is tempting me, so to hear it is light for its size, confirms and tempts me more 😆

I'd probably go with the 240 if structure building is part of the menu.

Btw, both the 200 and the 240 have an interesting differential edge grind, where the first few inches of the edge are sharpened at 25º and the rest of the edge all the way to the tip is 34º. I wasn't sure what to make of this before I got one in hand:

But as I've used the Skrama for a variety of things, that first few inches of finer edge has come in handy. It's great for making wood shavings, and I've even used it to slice an over-ripe tomato and it worked really well:

Essentially, you can take this beast of a blade and use it even for finer tasks like food prep in the field, while having a more optimal edge edge for chopping with the rest of the blade. It's actually a pretty cool idea, imo, and it's great as an all-around camp knife.

I have a 240 on the way. Ordered this morning and got an email stating it already shipped😀. I am looking forward to putting it to work. Again, thank you for your recommendation.

Yes sir. I am going to compare it to some other choppers I have. The last of the snow just melted at my cabin property, so now it is time to get chores done and prepare for winter🤣. My driveway is 1 1/2 miles, and I want to put some trails around the property close to birch trees that I can pack down with snowmachine in winter to make it a little easier for the moose to get around and browse when it gets deep. Always trimming and felling to do. And getting firewood/kindling ready.
