You care about things that don't add value in my opinion. We are different. That's ok. I'm not doing maintenance on my steak knives. I eat steak almost every day. The added maintenance is a waste of time. Also I already have these knives found and buying straight blades just so I can do this is retarded when my knives work just fine and aren't going dull or breaking.

I don't spend money or time on edging the lawn either. Rather save the money. I'm a neanderthal. Take your fancy knife skills to Smith & Wollensky. I'm sure they'll hire you.
