[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2288415, member: 229"] Not true. "Quality" of a knife steel is subjective in the first place (it's far more complex than Good vs. Bad), and some steels have specific properties that are more/less desirable to the owner - stainless, toughness, edge-retention, abrasion-resistance, etc. and the quality/level of heat-treat will affect this even more so. Quality and type of sharpened edge will change the sound it makes when dragging your thumb across (I assume you mean perpendicular to the edge - even then be careful, I've got some knives that will dig in even if going across the plain of the edge-apex). With my knives, should you want to tell if it's got a quality edge on it drag your thumb across it and if your thumb is bleeding, it's a good edge :thumb: [/QUOTE]
