What is quality?

more_vert
I would love to know people opinion on quality as i have seen various opinions and general quality detection skills. Like how people can't tell the diffrence between fake and real and how some actually can. For example there are fake fidget cubes everywere for real cheap and the reason most people say they have the fake one is because they think its pretty much the same. When they're not. Or how some people think that some csgo butterfly knives/trainers are garbage. I saw on a discussion section for a csgo trainer butterfly knife, someone going OH THIS SUCK BLAH BLAH BLAH BAD QUALITY. I bought one and i thought it was decent quality (not the best) but decent. It was stainless steel and weighed a bit. It was not hollow and it was thick in some areas which i found fine. What i didn't like was the latch became useless after a while and that the screws lossed or the blade was getting out of position. I still have it and have used it for a month and a half.

Enough about me, now i ask you guys to share your quality detections skills and/or experiences regarding people opinion in quality. Or something being better than something else $1 DOLLER CHICKEN VS. $9001 CHICKEN

GOOD QUALITY ONE POUND FISH COME ON LADIES.

Read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to get your head around what quality means.

in my opninion there is no overal quality, its more like theres quality in each department, lets take a pen for example, the quality of a ink in a pen and a quality of a pens build quality arnt the same so quality is judged in individual catagories. The one i generaly look in is build quality and use quality as in if it works well and lasts long.

Knowing when an item is high quality requires having exposure to quality items in the first place. Anybody can spot the quality item when it is placed next to a junky knock-off item and you are allowed to examine and handle it. It's an A-B comparison. People who say they cannot tell the difference have only handled the cheap junk in my experience. They just don't know what better is.
Now we as consumers are all making that choice of how much quality are you willing to pay for on purchases. I've been known to go for the cheapest item among the choices, but it is usually a case of knowing that I don't need the best, just good enough to get a particular job done. But I typically know what I am buying if I can see it in person first. Online shopping does make this kind of thing more of a challenge.

There are a lot of grey areas, but generally it comes down to what you are doing with it and how....deep? your use of a product is. Pens and knifes are pretty easy, do they write/cut well, but it gets hard to understand what that means.
For me, quality is all about utility. What can I do with it and how can I relay on my tool to do it's part. I like a pen writes the first time everytime. I like a knife that cuts clean with little effort.
I type a lot. I can feel a bad keyboard in my wrist. The keys need to stay right where they are and resist the right amount. If you don't type a lot it's hard to feel the quality.
I have writer friends who are much more demanding. For then it comes down to reducing the friction between them and their craft. For others their own could inspire them (like a quill with an ink well).
TL;DR for me, quality is something that you can tell if you are do into a trade that relays on that tool. Tools are all pretty different, so it's hard to describe boardly.

stuff that breaks in a day of purchase from general use is poor quality.
