Yeah, I'm afraid there is not much to report here. Maybe if I sliced 1000 pieces of hemp rope or something, the SR101 would out do the SR77, but the original Howling Rat and the new CG Yard Keeper are pretty much the same knife. Since both knives are about 3/16" thick, the difference in cutting between the high saber grind on the HR and the full flat grind on the YK were not noticable by me. All the "Howlers" are just plain useful knives. Even the thick as a brick YKLE does fine once you thin the edge some. The design isn't sexy or fancy. It just works. You know what they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
