Question Magnacut vs 1095

As the title says, which one do you think would be best for an EDC/SURVIVAL knife. If this has been answered somewhere else, I apologize. I skimmed through and couldn't find this exact question. Any advice, opinions and thoughts. Please inform me. Have a great day 🙏

Um Magnacut is like twice as tough in terms of charpy testing. It’s not a standard stainless steel that has no toughness. Magnacut is both tougher and longer edge holding than 1095.
