It’s not a limit, it’s “around”. I don’t mind spending a bit over for a tough steel that won’t chip away.

I've used M4 in a Spyderco platform for the last year or so. I've stripped copper wire at work, cut zip ties and even did a little scraping with it. I found the edge to roll or dent, as opposed to chipping out. These dents/rolls were easily straightened out on a diamond steel and quick to bring back a working edge. If you put some time in it, M4 can easily take a high polish for that pushcutting ability.

I really like the CS Recon 1 with a saber grind XHP blade as a work knife. It's a very good, durable design for users. Some folders that are fun to fondle and nice to look at can have a surprising amount of ergonomic or wear issues pop up through moderate use.

Like what?? Lay them on me.
IMO, no there isn't. If you'd like to explore though, I'll through in another vote to check out the cold steel lineup, XHP does a decent job at holding up.

American Lawman is a downsized Recon 1 IMHO.
Nah you want that extra half inch so you can dig around with the knife in places where you shouldn't
+1 for anything Cold Steel. Get XHP while you still can, s35vn is nice as well, but it's not the darkhorse of budget super steels (if that is even a thing)
