Two main criteria are:
1) The quality of steel -- If the steel is good, it won't chip as you hone it to a very thin edge. This is particularly an issue with Rockwells.
2) The grind -- Generally, if a blade is a nice full-hollow singer, it's a good sign. They wouldn't waste the effort of a good grind on crappy steel.
