Serious Eats / Grace Kelly The Competition And while the Messermeister didn’t have a super sharp blade on paper, we found it actually was so hefty that it cut through flesh and bone easily. Conversely, super sharp blades, like the Victorinox (147 sharpness average, which is double edge razor blade sharp) and Global (202, which is utility razor blade sharp), not only cleaved bone easily and cleanly, but they also were able to slice through skin and meat without a hitch.

And while they eventually cut through bone, it took a good amount of effort (and leveraging our body weight over the blades) to finish the job. We found that less sharp blades, like the Wusthof (which had a 410 sharpness average, which is usually when edges need maintenance) and Dexter Russell (which had a 308 sharpness average, which is technically high-end new cutlery level sharp, but it didn’t seem like it), slipped and slid over chicken skin and wriggled through the meat instead of cleanly slicing through it.
