It's a product you simply have to use to fully appreciate. If you look at the pics, price and specs, it doesn't tell the whole story. They perform like no other. I have German Wusthoff and American Dexter Russell. I don't use them any more.
Wusthoff and Dexter use comparatively soft, low quality steel in their kitchen cutlery blades too. I have some and am not impressed. I also have many other hunting/pocket knives with 440A blade steel. Schrade used 440A in it's premium "uncle Henry" line of knives for decades. They were adequate but far from impressive performers and were FAR cheaper than the Cutco knives.
