SR-101........ 
Seriously though, I don't believe that SR-77 is THAT much tougher than SR-101.
SR-101 is plenty difficult to destroy by hand and holds a much better edge for the less abusive chores.

Technically, SR-101 is not as tough as SR-77 which is what I was trying to say. But the difference is not night and day between the two in this category, edge retention however is significantly less with SR-77 vs SR-101.

im just curious why they stopped useing it. was it a difficut steel to work? i remember there whole company specialized on how the the metal was superior and was made fro the bits of jackhammers. which is waht made me buy my sod. there sr77 knives will probably go up in value.
