You're not normally a 'shrinking violet' at saying what's on your mind mate! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm going to have to say 154CM because I won't be able to afford the next offering and won't mind missing out if it is !!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

What if my knife was a fluke? Defective? More testing needs to be done here in the Yard......Let's get one for Noss!

It would depend on the type of knife. For a small fixed EDC I like the 154 but for a big chopper no question it is the S7.
As for the question of toughness ,I suggest we use the 154 knives the same way we would any other knives. Is it to weak for good hard work? If it is then I would be
disappointed. Maybe it is as much the style and thickness of the HC that caused it to break? Would a 154 YKLE pass the HornDog test?

That way the corrosion resistant steel is on the inside . Very strange. Too bad INFI is so expensive. That steel has it all.

If the 154CM was on the inside, the edge would never rust.
