This chart. Two different steels, at the same hardness, with the same geometry, the one with the most carbon will retain its edge longer. I'm not saying it. Every single company that makes knives says it.

Your arrogance in posting is only exceeded by your lack of knowledge on this subject.

No, Every single knife company/maker doesn't say that. The one with the most carbon may not have the longest lasting edge.
You might want to read up on knife steel metallurgy and make and test a few knives before you decide to make such silly statements.
Carbon is important to get hardness, but only one element in the mix, others can be just as important, depending on what you want the steel to do.
I know, what should I except from a Super Steel lover of 1095?:yawn:
