not really. Either knife will last forever if treated kindly, either one will eventually fail if abused.
We are preparing for an unknown survival situation here, where equipment abuse can't be ruled out. If I have to abuse my knife to save my life in a pinch, I'll do it.
The SRK will do ANYTHING that could possibly be expected of it.
The way I see it, a knife in the SRK's class will basically outperform the user. So if any knife is somewhat better, but at a much higher cost, it’s just a waste.
Again, that's an opinion. If you had to wedge you're SRK into a wall, and stand on it to get over the top, will it break? I feel pretty confident that my Scrap Yard SOD would survive; thus, helping me to survive.
It’s fine if you want to testify how amazing and great the A1 is, but to bash the SRK likes its some POS is absurd. It’s about who spent more, we buy bragging rights in this society.
