Im not discussing price here but i think the steel cutter is getting an unfair review. the steel cutter is a very very good weapon and is very popular its just alot of people are selling them because they now have legendary 1 handers or wanted to try out one of the new ones.

it was the first weapon i got for my commando and would still be using it now if i didnt get a legendary drop .

450-500k as some are selling for atm is insanly cheap  for this weapon and if i wer a new commando i would defo snap one up

No doubt its a good item, but compared to Legendaries... yeah.

The other factor is how expensive it is to how much you gain. At least from the weapons spreadsheet. Steel Cutter: 105/89/46; Strange Sword: 108/96/40

So comparably you trade a little speed and length, and a LOT of money (400k is more) for an extra 6 damage. To most, that isn't worth it, especially when the jump from Marketplace Armor to Striped is slightly better in my opinion. A little over 10% increase in armor across the board, with the next jump being Trans. And most likely, the armor will do you a lot better than the Steel Cutter.

Then the next logical increase, into a Royal Shield, is probably the greatest increase in gear. By comparing SKS (1050*38 = 39900) versus Royal (1250*45=56250) you get an almost 1.4 ratio of Royal Shield over SKS (that is if it is Health*Resistance as I assume it is). There is also the factor where it is bigger than the SKS which I think makes it even more invaluable for shielders. For that, you're paying about 500k per 10% increase (but probably getting more as it is hard to quantify size into the factor).

So given all of this, the Steel Cutter is a solid weapon, but when you have better options to spend your gold, its hard to justify, especially as there are too many Steel Cutters in the game because the older players started dropping them for Legendary weapons. There is also the comparison against Legendary Weapons, which I don't even want to go into.
