Camp Tramp vs Busse Basic #7

[Steelhed]

Has anyone done a comparison between the SRKW's Camp Tramp and the now defunct Busse Basic #7 (or a #9 vs a Battle Rat)? How does the Modified INFI standup to SR101 (52100). Which is the better steel, or are they so much alike the difference is neglible? I have all the Busse Basics, but because they are no longer made I would not want to test one to destruction at this point, if you know what I mean.

you may try searching though Cliff Stamps posts, seems he has done something on it.

Yeah, I remember reading something by Cliff, but I could not find a direct comparison between the knives. Also, I remember reading something by Cliff where he did make a comment about INFI versus SR101, but I could not find that either.

This is like asking somebody which one of their children they like better.

There are some comments in that regard in the Camp Tramp review :

Yes, I recall that thread, but I thought someone, perhaps Cliff, made a statement that said something like M-INFI was 80% of INFI and SR101 was like 85% or 90% of INFI. If so, what is that based on, and does anyone else have any experience with the two steels to make an informed comparison.
