What Happened to SR-77?

Apparently you have not browsed the Busse forum much. If you did you would know that Busse fans abuse their knives more than any other group, including yourself. You can thumb through countless threads of severe use of Busse/kin knives. Yet here you are making assumptions. But Blain, I will be your huckleberry. You want to do a toughness test? How about we both send a knife to Noss for destruction. I will send him my Sycko 911 made of SR101 and you send him your favorite 80crv2 or 52100 9" blade. Lets see how long each lasts with Noss(if he still is out there doing tests) or someone neutral that we all know does this. It has to be your knife, not one you pilfered from someone for this test. Since you asked who was willing to let their expensive knives take abuse, I am ponying up and so should you. I actually sent my sycko911 for one guy who LOVES cpm3V to compare the two. That obviously has been a failure since the guy apparently does not have time. He needs to send my knife back to me now. I can easily have him divert it to someone who will test it hard. But, again, since you expect others to feel some monetary pain, it is only fair you feel some to. Because people should not challenge others if they are not willing to back it up. So let me know your answer. We can finally put to rest if SR101 is as tough or tougher than 80crv2 and 52100.

This is the SR101 you are up against:

Of course SR77 was already tested by noss and below is that test.

Cobalt, I'll tell you what I'll do. If you mail your SYKCO 911 to Bluntcut, I will pay him to build an exact replica (as close as he can, anyway) and heat treat it to his specifications (through hardened to the same rockwell hardness as your 911 tests out to be) and then we will both donate our knives to a user for a DOCUMENTED destruction test.

Then we will see, which 52100 treatment is superior. Do you accept the challenge?

Tell you what, the 911 specs are easily available. He does not need my knife. He can build one from specs. Rc is 58-60 on all SR101. Almost every tested blade comes out at 59.x. here is the link to the knife: http://www.scrapyardknives.com/sykco-911/

Once he builds a knife for you and ships it to you, then we can decide who will compare the two. In the meantime, I will get my knife back from the person that has it.
 
Well if you need someone to test them. I will volunteer, might have a buddy who would help also. What do you think, mini van?
 
To answer the OP's question. The reason we stopped using SR77 was simply edge holding. It is not the best for a slicer but it does make a great chopper and is hard to beat in this category.

SR-101 does both well.

As for those who come on our forum to promote their knives or the knives of others to our audience, I think it is in bad taste and amounts to nothing less than trolling.

I encourage our members to not feed the trolls!!!

We have decades of proven performance in unmatched LIVE demos at shows and in videos.

Here is the SR-101 Rodent Waki. All of these tests were performed with the same blade with no touch ups to the edge.

I am closing this thread since it has gone WAY off track.
