Paring Pro Surgical Stainless Steel Paring Knife

As an engineer with a masters in mechanical engineering, I am very skeptical about any wild claims about materials and their strength and surface toughness(to a normal person this is called "durability"). I was shown this knife by a rep at a presentation at walmart, making claims that these "forever knifes" do not dull even when cutting steel. Lets just turn this into a list of impossible claims that I noticed with my Pro-Paring knife:

1) An obvious rule of thumb, two materials made of the same material will when rubbed together, will result in degradation of both though at different rates. THEREFORE, STEEL DULLS STEEL and the claim made by the rep and the television where an aluminum can was cut are both false, as aluminum has similar surface toughness to steel

2) If there is even any "surgical stainless steel" in this blade, it is very minimal. Surgical steel will not bend but only 1mm when a force is placed on the end due to heat treatment, it will break. This is not the case with the Pro-Paring knife, I can easily bend it to 1cm with minimal force.

3) I have experience in machining, when machining is done right you cannot notice the individual machine lines on the blade, You can only tell that it is machined from the partially dull appearance of cutting portion of the blade. With this blade, I can literally count the machine lines on it, indicating a low precision and accuracy. Since blades cut by providing a moderate force over a minuscule area, this blade's cutting ability is limited due to its inaccuracy and varying areas of the cross section of the blade.

4) Claim to be dishwasher safe, I just have to laugh at this one. There is clearly just enough elemental chromium in this metal to consider this "stainless", but by no means is it stainless at the high temperatures from within the dishwasher.

LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, DO NOT BELIEVE THE COMMENT THAT SAYS IT IS SO GREAT THEY BOUGHT SOME FOR FRIENDS. No one in their right minds would purposely give this product to their friends unless they weren't their friends. I hate that companies do this so I wrote this entire essay to stop consumer spending on TV products that are complete engineering failures, while claiming to be an engineering innovation.

It was an OK little knife. It wasnt very sharp. The quality was lacking a bit. But it was OK!!! I peeled potatoes with it. I like the size and handle. I will use it but there are better knives out there. But for the price you can get by with it.
