I can't count the times I have heard that either before or after I have sharpened kinives for people..

Drives me bonkers

My wife resisted me wanting to sharpen 'her knife' for years. When it got to the point that she could not cut through a piece of raw chicken and I appealed "Please, let me sharpen that thing" she finally relented. Now she likes it and cannot believe how much better it works.

And yet these are usually the same people that find cooking such a chore. Seems obvious to me. Yeah, it is a chore when it takes 30 minutes to cut up an onion. There's no point in trying to convince anyone. I mentally roll my eyes and keep my mouth shut. And anyone who knows me knows that it isn't easy for me to do so.

A while ago I bought a ceramic knife and my wife was giving me a hard time because I was playing with and sharpening it and she said you just bought that today.
