Well, knife buyers are often steel nuts. They want the next 'best thing'. And for knives, some of these properties actually make sense (abrasion resistance for example, or toughness). For razors we need the best possible shaving edge. Toughness, abrasion resistance are negative properties

For us, added value is derived from aesthetics and 'cool' factor while maintaining the fine edge, which is why razor buyers like Damascus or wootz.
