Yes 115 degrees is real hard to argue with with no chipping or cracking, the most I have gone was a dead flat 90 with one of my own using L6, with a small crack, but still it was a crack, thats why a true MS blade can and will most certainly compete with any blade there is. I like what Jerry has done with infi, and the truth is no one is really gonna go out and beat there knife to death except on purpose, and when that decision is made, it will break, anyone can break anything, I am a Rat lover at heart, not over the top price, good looks, great steel, and feels good to me. as far as yards go, I love the res c, the edge holds just well enough for basically what these blades are designed for, beating through some wood, or a dependable tool to get nasty with.

I break it down like this for me when I'm in the woods for a couple months

by the fire. a S.Y. to split wood
a S.R. to go get the wood
a stray arrow stuck in a tree at hunting camp, dig it out with a S.Y.
skin some elk- my custom D2's or A2's and 01--all depends on my mood.
get home, find a good deal on a Busse, and trade it for the new S.Y.'s and S.R.'s
