Logical and understandable.
But some of us like to know that the price justifies the durability of the knife. I can hone a $15 walmart knife and it will do well in food prep, but is not so tough. I know, I have experience, in all brands of knives, of various price points, and I know for a fact that most sub $80 knives, will snap in half when chopping so much as cold wood, much less bricks. So thats kind of the point of looking for a stronger steel and handle combo, otherwise, Id be fine with 440C with wood handles, but I know for a fact that 440C cant stand up to tough use, unless you make it 3/8" thick, and yet look at his, using a 0.15" edge to chop bricks.
That is why I buy a knife from Nathan, as opposed to paying $400 for a 440C version from some famous knife makers, that cant do half the stuff he does in his videos.
But, I understand that knives can be like watches, some people would have no problem paying ridiculous amounts of $$$ for a rolex, and yet there are millions of people (some in my family) who would ask you "why the hell would any retard pay more than $30 for a watch"? but I never really was big on collecting stuff based solely on the name brand, not unless that thing become a brand name esp. cause it was durable
Which is also why I hate it when people sell anything, esp. knives, and talk about how durable this is or more durable than that, and they either have NO test video of it, or they only test it on tomatoes..how would you know that its "tough" all I see is you cutting tomatoes? Show us that your knives are worth $800
I have several knives from walmart that cut tomatoes just fine, and after a few minutes on a high grit japanese stones, they cut tomatoes phenomenally, if thats all I was planning to cut with my knives is food prep, Id never spend more than $40 on a knife, in my whole life..
Just my $0.2
