I wish I had more upvotes. Good knives make cooking easy and, more important, prevent injuries.
Couldn't agree more sharp knives don't slip. Yet some people out there are purposely blunting kitchen knives.

I've heard that, but I've only ever cut myself with the really sharp knives and yeah it's clean, but when the knife is dull it just kind of pokes my finger and that's it
I bought some knife set that cost like 1000 dollars. It was an impulsive buy when I won an award at work.
Damn I learned expensive knives are worth every penny. Iโve had them twenty years. Normally Iโd buy a knife and have to throw it away after a couple of years because they couldnโt be sharpened as they were cheap.
I cook every day and it makes it so much easier.
You can sharpen every knife. Better knifes stay sharper for longer, but they still need to be sharpened regularly. This also applies to ceramic knifes, which stay sharper even longer, but also need to be sharpened after a lot of use.
Oh I wasn't aware you could sharpen ceramic knives. Does it require different tools to sharpen than steel knives?
Those belts here work fine.
Diamond dust grinder wheel. Hard to find.
Just wait for the knife sharpening man to roll through town at that point
