Talonite toughness vs strength

[ras]

Considering the Talonites advertised of 46 Rc, that should make it fairly resilient to breakage and chipping, but how strong is it. My thought regard someone using a Talonite knife for prying (wilderness survival etal). How much does it take to bend the cobalt matrix?

Talonite for prying= don't. I'd sooner use a mild steel bar myself. That's not to say it's flimsy like a wet noodle, but the material definately isnt suited for that sort of use.
