      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.

        If they won’t even pay more than $10 then whatever they bought probably already needed sharpening straight out of the box lol

        Even the cheapest knife is still going to last many, many years of normal use. Most of my knifes are super cheap actually. But they are super sharp, so who cares? Just sharpened then a few days ago (has been a few months). Only takes like a minute per knife with my “work sharp” to get them just about razor sharp.

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