Expensive Knives Are Worse Than You Think

Victorinox | Check Amazon price: https://geni.us/Bxyma
Wusthof | Check Amazon price: https://geni.us/00nZA5u
Mercer | Check Amazon price: https://geni.us/XmIFk
Dalstrong | Check Amazon price: https://geni.us/Dx6x

I review a range of cheaper knives against a $170 knife, to see what the price difference really gets you.
