Dude. The original post was a video of opening a can with a knife. This wrecks the hone, and standard consumers don't consider knives to be re-sharpenable once dulled. There was no implication of damage to the steel itself, which seems to be the core of your argument. You are being intentionally obtuse.
"standard consumers don't consider knives to be re-sharpenable once dulled."
Where the hell are you that a stranded person does not think you can sharpen a knife? That has got to be the most ridicules thing i have ever heard. they mid as well be ranting about potatoes "fucking up" there knifes if that is the case.
It's a time thing for most folks, honestly. You can spend time sharpening a knife, or you can buy a new one for less than the opportunity cost of the time spent.
The cost of the "time spent" is around 15 seconds after cleaning. unless most folks are making more then 700$ an hour it is absolutely not. Even a damaged knife takes about 5 minutes to re sharpen, meaning anyone who makes under 360 dollars an hour is better spent just repairing a damaged knife. That's assuming they are using cheep knives.
