I agree but with a caveat. Metal does fatigue over time so while a cheaper knife can last with proper maintenance it wont be able to hold up to better grade steel in a marathon. I have lower, mid, and high tier and you easily can tell with them where the quality is in how they keep an edge. I use the same level of care for each.

Yes that's absolutely true. Then there is the trade-off with how easy they are to sharpen as well. Some of the higher quality steels may keep an edge fantastically well but sharpening them correctly may well need more skill or experience. Also I have found, sometimes cost and quality are not the same thing.
