I knew someone who would replace their knives every year or two after they were dangerously dull. He called me a sucker for buying a nicer set, and it never occurred to him that they could be sharpened and reused.

It's getting bad out here.

Every year or two??? That's just when a new knife is finally getting broken in lol I've got knives my parents bought before I was born that I still use!

We're talking real low grade, picked up at walmart knives. Unlikely they would last like that anyway, but absolutely refused to spend more than like $10 on a chef knife because they were treated as disposable.

Aren't those still made from steel? There should be nothing preventing you(r friend) from sharpening them.
