Reply to comment by mattrussell2319 in Recommendation for BIFL chef's knife? by notproudortired

I use a Chefpro. It does a great job. Also recommended by America's Test Kitchen.

It's simply not worth your time to sharpen a $30 knife with manual stones.

Learning to use a whetstone is a worthwhile skill. I only need to use mine once a year.

I have 30 years of daily use on both my Zwilling 4 star chefs knife and santoku to show for it. They are truly BIFL.

One a year? A good chef knife subject to daily use needs to be sharpened much more frequently than that.
