> For all of you repeating "learn to sharpen" - that's nice, but if you deal with people in the real world, you know that they don't want to be bothered with sharpening their knives. It is better for them to get new knifes, rather than stick with dull knifes.
There's almost certainly a business in your town (regardless of where you live) that will sharpen your knives for you. The one near me charges $1 per knife. Surely that's cheaper than buying a new one, not to mention less wasteful.
- carlosjobim 7mo agoI wouldn't be so certain that knife sharpeners are that common. But I also take mine to a sharpener every once in a while, and it's cheap. For most people it's probably too much of a hassle unless they have expensive knifes. Easy to pick up a new knife when you're at the department store, and keep the old knife for yard stuff. One more thing for first time knife buyers: If you're going to chop a lot of onions, get a knife with a thin blade. If you're going to cut a lot of stakes, get a thick blade.
