I never really understood knives, especially kitchen knives. I work with them often… but the quality differences never quite made sense. I get the high carbon = easier to sharpen, etc. But isn’t that one of the lowest qualities of steel? Meaning you can stamp that shit out on the cheap and it’s really about how any given chef manages, sharpens and hones his/her blade?
IDK. Seems like another person stealing my turd, shellacking it, and selling it back to me at an extreme premium…
