I don't think there is a thing "wrong" with the knife in 154CM. It's a great knife in a very good stainless. But it doesn't seem to be as tough as some knives I've tested in SR101, SR77, 12C27, or INFI. I must say in all honesty that this was one tough piece of oak. Whether this a a fluke or typical, I cannot say. I just use them and get what I get. Sure takes and holds a great edge, and that's what a knife is for. I would not recommend doing my point test on the 154CM knives. As you know, I don't ever deliberately break knives, but sometimes it happens.
