Or to put it another way, in my eyes, folks voting for 154CM are asking to pay more for less knife. For a specialty knife like the muk or the bird dog or a more traditional sub-4-inch blade, I would be more likely to be fine with 154CM. For a knife the size of the S5, I'm probably gonna be doing some prying and even some batoning. I'm also likely to be bashing it around in places where I'm likely to smack the edge on some rocks, and I want a knife that's easy to re-sharpen, so stainless is right out.

Since I have the same knife on the way already, I won't buy the LE release if it's not made from INFI. If I didn't already place an order for the CG, then I would be more likely to buy an SR101 LE. No matter what, though, I would NEVER buy this knife if it were made from 154CM - it simply wouldn't fit my needs.
