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.
