(As an aside, I don't consider 15V to be lacking in toughness for folding knife use, even for SD scenarios. It has as much toughness as 154CM according to Dr. Larrin Thomas's steel ratings charts, and 154CM—and its Japanese counterpart ATS-34—has been used for "tactical knives" for years, most famously by Emerson Knives.)

*Edit*

Sorry I misread what you posted, so I'm agreeing with you not disagreeing.


I'd have to disagree with 15V lacking toughness for self defense. Anyone who ends up on the receiving end of this is not have a good time.
