Now I’m curious though, I know pretty much nothing about knives but considering the price and the fact that the company actually sells food I kind of expected this to be at least as good as an average kitchen knife (even though I’m sure most people are just buying it for collection purposes), what are the issues?
On top of what was already said, the high rating on the hardness scale will make the edge prone to chipping. There's also the fancy pattern on the blade. It's alright if you want to buy a showpiece. If you want to buy an expensive knife, you're better off with a $200 Wusthof.
Wait, is being high on the hardness scale not a good thing?
(About the price sure, of course it's mainly meant to be a showpiece, I was just curious about the specifics in the remote scenario someone actually wanted to use it)
It's about balance. Not hard enough and the edge of the blade will bend and will need to be honned often. Too hard and the edge of the blade will chip and will need to be resharpened (or you straight up need a new knife if it's bad enough). Even just dropping the knife could result in a chipped edge if its too hard. However, some people prefer it since it won't lose its edge as fast.
