Is it carbon or stainless? The alloy makes a difference
And the heat treating make a huge difference in the quality of a blade. A less than optimal grind can be corrected, to a degree.
I agree with the others, this does read like an ad. This is what I comprehended when I read the article:
Here's a knife set. It has plastic handles. It probably cuts through turkey. We'll charge 5 times what it's really worth because of the name. Buy it anyway.
I don't mind the section, but give us a little bit more than a cut/paste from their website. If you like the product, by all means, share it with us, but at least tell us WHY you like it! Ok, you *did* mention the plastic handle, but a plastic handle does not make a $200 knife.
Alloy, hardness, edge retention, edge maintenance, balance, all those things are important in an actual review or even a product recommendation.
I know you guys got beat up a lot over this, and I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but which is worse, us complaining or just not coming back?
