The score out of 100 is the mean score of the brand's knives, with the same rules as the rankings: price against the median of the same knife type in the same market (40), stated core steel (30), layer count, blade length and handle stated (30). Sets are left out. Brands with fewer than five scored listings get no score. We have not tested these knives.
