I'm not a fan of 154cm on fixed blades, in fact, I'm not too pleased about the latest SR release. The design seems to be great, but I just don't think that a hard use company should use a steel like 154cm-- which is geared for pampered knives like folders. Not to upset anyone, but I REALLY don't want the yard to start using it-- a steel with so little toughness kinda goes against their mission statement.
