Closest steel to INFI

[BlackNinja]

When you are new to Busse it is possibly fair to highlight that INFI is not the best steel in each and every aspect. There are tougher steels out there, there are more rust resistent steels out there, there are steels with better edge retention and there are steels that are easier to sharpen. For most of us INFI just represents the best compromise between all these criteria.

Kind of like a German Shepherd; it might not be the best dog in any given category, but it’s the second best dog in about every category (albeit INFI is the best {IMO} in plenty catagories).

But, to answer the question, the Bossman would know better than anyone, and he says SR-101.

I would also have to agree with other posters here that Jerry & Busse crew do an outstanding job with heat treatment, which, from my understanding, can be a deal-breaker.

Shall we not also forget aesthetics in this vain world we live in- nobody makes pertier knives then the Busse custom shop-imho. +INFI. Doesn't get better then that.
