Well, I got every answer in the book! I really wanted a cross section of all users, and I got what I was looking for. I appreciate everyones effort and time to help me decide. I feel I have a pretty good idea of what the sr101 on kryptonite.. will do, as when I saw the stripped versions of sr101 it had a very obvious zone temper or hamon. The infi was interesting cause it probably has a zone temper feature also, but you cannot see it due to the nitrogen in the steel. Or Jerry tempers the entire blade the same way. Thank you again for the educated responses, and please understand I was curious, not ever trying to down grade Jerry, or your thoughts, each one is valuable to me! I really want to get into a Busse, and see what all the excitement is about, but money is always the thing.... Thank you all for your input!
