Become convinced that purchasing an expensive knife and spending half of your life fucking around to keep it sharp and protected is a good investment of your time.
Buy a $10 German steel chef knife on sale, get a rada QuickSharp and a (e: Victorinox 14 inch) chef hone and get on with life.
I cook quite a bit, so I disagree a little. you don’t need a stupid expensive knife, but buying one or two good quality knives is worth it. They probably last as long as you do so it’s not like you have to keep buying more, just buy quality once. I still have a couple cheap knives too. Also, expensive != quality. Choose wisely.
The cheap knives suck at holding an edge. I spend more time “fucking around” keeping the cheap knife sharp than I do the good ones.
Hand wash the knives. The dishwasher detergent will accelerate the loss of the edge and pitting, especially in cheaper steel. Use plastic or wood cutting surfaces, not hard ceramic like plates, or glass.
I buy cheap knives with the plastic handles from the local butcher as they always have spares. Got a maybe 2000 grit belt for the belt sander. Sharpen the whole lot in about 15 minutes twice a year and they hold well
LOL I mean people once thought the earth was flat with the same certainty… There were wrong too. I’ve seen high Def images of exactly what a hone does to a knife edge, so umm you can claim whatever…
Your pretty bitter might to work on that. An your inability to “just let it go” I’ve trolling for like 3 posts now. I can see is cheeto eating Monster drinking unclean adult smashing his keyboard :) makes me happy.
Shut the fuck up, you have no idea what you’re talking about, you are not funny, you are not clever, nothing about your existence here is justified, and your presence in my life is a waste.

First hones are worthless if not activity bad for a knife edge. 10 dollar German knives are trash unless you win the lotto or something.
You don’t need to spend hundreds but a good knife will last a lifetime and stay sharp 10 times as long.
“hones are bad for a knife”
Brother, I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but you understand absolutely nothing about knives and you should never try to talk about them again.

The only correct response to you right now is “shut the hell up”.
And yet you were incapable of following your own advice, interesting…
