What is ignored in this thread is the user. How does he handle the knife when cutting the testing material? Is he a slicer or pusher or some combo? Lots of variables other than steel and shape of the blade. Is the material being cut identical? Lots of variables!
I'll agree here to a certain point, but I think what a few are ignoring here is the fact that this discussion was open for subjectivity from the users point of view; rather than the user being ignored. The table is open for the user to express their experiences. Facts are cool, but opinion is where the topic was sparked from and it seems like a few comments here want to tout every bit of knowledge brought to the table as an objective statement, rather than out of real world experience. Nothing mentioned about controlled testing to specific detail, but rather specifically does one favor geometry, or steel for cutting cardboard? Of course, specific knowledge is welcomed and encouraged, but not necessarily out of absolute fact; just food for thought and a possible explanation as to how that conclusion was met in personal use. I find the debates about what's objectively "better" (which ironically, though can be proven in theory, is still very subjective in practice as seen throughout this discussion) lead to no real "hands on" knowledge gained, but rather a war of wills as to who's proven right in theory. C'est la vie.
