Speaking of food prep blades, the Bird Dog and Scrap Muk excell at that. While I really like the SR101 steel, the 154CM is really better for pretty "LE" satin blades, IMO. With the Busse heat treat, it's plenty tough for me. Imagine a Ratmandeaux in 154CM. That would be sweet. Near as I can tell, Busse's 154CM holds an edge about as well as the SR101 does.
