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.
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.
Even the cheapest knife is still going to last many, many years of normal use. Most my knifes are super cheap actually. But they are super sharp, so who cares?
You haven’t seen anything yet. If you have teacher friends, ask them how the new generation is doing 💀 they haven’t learned almost anything since COVID started and have virtually no social skills on top of it… I’m legit scared for the future.
So just like every generation before us then…? Socrates 400 BC:
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
The whole COVID made the kids dumb is just the newest excuse in a long line. Before that it were phones, computers, calculators and probably a lot more. My kids are from the new generation, and they’re doing just fine.
For me, if it doesn’t come with a sharpener build into the sheath, it’s not good enough quality anyway. Ive moves a dozen times over a decade and lost pieces of so many silverware sets they’re disposable to me. Never had a knife long enough to NEED to reharpen it. Got a few nicer ones now though so maybe that will change.

It’s getting bad out here.

Aren’t those still made from steel? There should be nothing preventing you('re friend) from sharpening them.
If they won’t even pay more than $10 then whatever they bought probably already needed sharpening straight out of the box lol
