Guys remember : The composition of an alloy sure is important but without proper heat treatment, even the best, most high tech, most expensive super steel is worth less than the lower end but properly heat treated alloy.
Knowing that heat treatment protocols can be super tricky, especially for complex modern alloys ( it's about vacuum/neutral gas chambers, sub zero baths, and very precise temperatures etc ...), it can add quite a rise to the price of steel. Knowing that the knife is 10cr is a first step... But then, how was it heat treated? A good HT process is expensive, shitty companies will not bother . The costs will reflect on the final price the consumer has to pay.
