Dude, What are you talking about? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Remember the D2 knives from Swamp Rat? They were tough as hell and were given quite a beating and survived. They dented rather than chipped and because they were still D2 they had really good edge retention. SRKW 154cm's heat treat shouldn't be any different.

Remember that D2 has much worse toughness than 154cm. If I had a choice for a large chopper with D2 or 154cm I would go 154cm.

Also, Mercworx use 154cm on most of their knives. They're heat treated softer for toughness and can also take quite a beating with little chipping (though for their price I think an FFBM would be beyond par).

I agree with you in that I'm not a fan of 154cm but when something comes from the Swamp, Yard, or Pit, it must be good.
