This makes sense to me Mr. me2. I've picked up a number of cheap stainless knives in past years at sales and so forth. Cheap not just in price but cheaply made as well. That being the case some have turned out to be not to bad and others are only good to get the mud off my boots. The difference to me is always how hard it is to get the burr off the edge after grinding. There have been a number of them that I have just given up on. Your comment about sticky steel really hits home because that's just how the burr acts. They may be the same or similar steel but hardened differently. Good point you make and thank you for it.
