If you'll research back to a lot of the threads Ray and others have posted over the years on this particular subject, you will find where one or more have placed the caveat that the cutting portion of testing be compared to ones' favorite "store bought" knife of similar design. Not every time but recurs with great regularity. Guess it should be a tag along footnote each time the issue comes up.

One problem is a lot of things about knives in general are subjective and not quantitative. Trash or treasure sot of thing. Most of us that use knives hard everyday are going to have a vastly different opinion from those that cut the occasional string, open a box or gut the yearly deer. Just the way it is.

In short - I understand what you are saying and asking - don't think you will get a single definitive answer. But....don't stop looking, it's always good to talk these things over and over.
