It's pretty good. How do I translate it into the real world? And how do you compare the actual steels? Good, excellent, etc is kind of vague.

For instance...
- Toughness : SV30 can cut 30 feet of cardboard where 440C can only cut 10 before you lose your ability to shave arm hair.
- Wear resistance: SV30 can cut 30 feet of carpet where 440C can cut 10 feet before you lose your ability to shave arm hair.
- Strength: SV30 can cut an oak 1/4" doll rod 30 times where 440C can cut 10 times before you lose your ability to shave arm hair.
Something like that.
