Griptilian, again. (Already posted in this thread a while back)
I think the 154CM on the stock version is clearly
better than the PE's AUS 8.
Somewhat more comparable, in my view, to the Grip is the
SOG X RAY 71.
The SOG 71 uses ATS-34 steel which is extremely similar to 154CM. I'd
probably still go with the Grip, though, because I feel more
comfortable with the Axis Lock than the Arc Lock, and also because
of the flaky blade shape of the 71.
