Cobalt :
If it was a flaw in the steel composition/structure wise then yes except if you supply it. As for how it performs - I am in that exact situation now as I have asked Phil Wilson to make me a blade out of CPM-15V which he has not worked with before. I know it will be more brittle than CPM-10V and if it proves to be so much so that it is nonfunctional then obviously that is a responsibility I will take. However there is a huge difference in that and asking a maker if a material/geometry is suitable and getting a "yes". The responsibility is no longer yours then.
Jerry thanks for the details. The numbers you quote would be beyond my current abilities to notice.
