Stainless steel means what is says...it's steel which will corrode or 'stain less' than for example carbon steel.There are many stainless steels from which knife blades are made,in general the harder the steel the better the edge that can be achieved but it becomes more difficult to sharpen.Also the harder the steel the more prone to breaking the blade becomes.Generally,as with most things in life you get pretty much what you pay for,and buying a cheap un branded shiny knife and expecting it to perform like a miniature Samurai sword is usually a recipe for dissapointment. A blunt knike needs greater pressure than a sharp one making it more inclined to slip,so you are more likely to cut yourself with a blunt knife than a sharp one.
