I think the SR-101 is a tougher steel for sure,but the 154CM I have from The Yard is light years away from my 154CM from
Microtech.Benchmade,Piranha and even customs.
The Dan Busse "whammy" on it Seems to make it as tough as SR-77!! I can't chip a edge on this stuff. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
I get micro fractures but all touch up in just moments. It stays sharp forever and well after EDCing the load of Scrap Stainless I have...sold. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

It takes a keen satin finish,can be made tougher than Doziers D-2. And the edge and upkeep are a joy to own. Great stuff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Peace.
