Bear in mind that you are not the only searching for the one and only grail of knives. We all are, to some extent. Plenty of OCD perfectionist types here in the forums, sharp cookies the lot of them are. But try not to fall into the trap of buying knives based off of spec and data sheets. Else you may end up forever living vicariously through the posts and opinions of others. You can only learn to appreciate the nuances of various steels, treatments and finishes through personal experience and understanding. Only then can correlations with published specs be quantified.
