I don't expect Dan or Jerry to use CPM-154.

They obviously have stock of and have used 154CM. So, I expect if they use a stainless steel, it will be 154CM.

Technically, for most makers, I believe CPM-154 does have some advantages over 154CM.
And honestly, if given an option, I would rather Dan and Jerry had CPM-154 and used it. But..... again, I believe 154CM is what they have and will use.

However, I really believe it comes down to the heat-treatment.

I believe that well heat-treated 154CM is likely to perform better than mediocre/average heat-treated CPM-154.

I am convinced Busse does QUALITY, reliable, dependable heat-treatments on ALL of their steels.

Other makers might use CPM-154 and you might not really now the level of quality of their heat-treatment vs. known quality of Busse heat-treat.

So, which is "Really" better?????


Personally, I might think it would be better if Busse used CPM-154. But, if choosing between Busse 154CM and some other maker using CPM-154, I think in most cases, I prefer sticking with Busse 154CM. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
