You can always identify cheap stainless steel cutlery from the sharp edges that cut into your skin while eating. Presumably the decent ones have extra manufacturing steps to polish off the burrs after stamping.

My first utensils when living on my own, it was normal for the edges of the spoons to be streaked with blood as they came out of my mouth.

That might explain the appeal to me of spoons that have the very noticeably rounded edges, more rounded than they need to be. :)
