Plenty of room in Saskatchewan Mate. If you can handle the -50 winters it is all good.

All the advantages of the UK without the crap.

Back to the Muppy ,the HC is a lot thinner so it is no wonder it had some tip issues. Thge HC is like a nice folder but without the folding.

My theory for how the Muppy is doing is it will take a huge amount of force before any deformation ,more even than S7 but when it does deform it is much more likely to be catastrophic.

One good test is to stick it in a vise and attach a torque wrench and see what it reads when it starts to bend. I am sure the Muppy can take a lot of force before it starts because it is harder and stronger than S7(stronger NOT tougher they are different). S7 is so great because it is tough meaning it can be bent without edge damage. The really impressive thing about the Yards heat treatment of S7 is they can get it hard enough to hold a good edge. S7 is known as a super tough steel but no one else has even tried to make a knife because no one could get it hard enough. Dan's heat treat is like viagra for S7.

I am curious as to how they are going to heat treat the 154. Are they going to max out the hardness and strength so it resists deformation or are they going to try to make it tougher so it can handle deformation better?

Jerry and Dan are amazing when it comes to the heat treating of steel.

CPM154 should behave completely different than S7.
