I own the Bravo-1 its an excellent knife and very capable for it's size.
Mine's a mess, daughter soaked it for a couple of hours in the sink (she thought it was stainless). Now it is pitted, I will be sending to Mike for a spa treatment
Females are always doing that. Even if they're stainless, who wants to grope around in a sink full of dishwater with a razor sharp blade at the bottom? I think I have finally trained my girls to leave the sharp knives up on the counter and I hand wash them. They are spoiled. When they visit relatives or friends they can never find a sharp knife in the house to cut anything. No problem here. I got one of the CPM154 Bravos, too. Doesn't rust, but it is hard to sharpen. I think I like A2 better for the money.
