    Partially agree:

    Having nice knives is nice, some of the cheap stamped ones are awful and a good knife will last forever.

    Equally, having a set of sharpening stones is also really useful to rescue knives, however you should only be using them once every few years, standard knife sharpeners are fine.

    They are tools, not your hobby.

      Ask any chef, the exact opposite is true.

        I don’t think most knife sharpeners can really get rid of nicks in the blade? Needs a proper sharpening stone for that?
