Banging blades together to determine hardness levels.
Believing whatever the ad copy from a Chinese knife manufacturer says about the HRC.
Comparing the quality of one Chinese gas station knife to another Chinese gas station knife (a $13 Chinese liner lock and a Chinese Ned Foss knife).
Judging the lockup of an Emerson by a single pic of a mostly disassembled knife.
Thinking you know more than a guy who has been designing and making knives for law enforcement and military personnel for over 4 decades (Emerson).
Insisting that you would prefer to trust your fingers to a $13 liner lock when prying and stabbing.
