I have three knives that I purchased in the 1970's and paid over $100 for each of them.  They do get dull and I just sharpen them.  They are the best knives ever and are very different than the cheap ones I own as well.

if you can afford good knives and are willing to hand wash only .they are a good investment.

My dad, who was a lover of tools and a knife collector, taught me how to correctly sharpen knives with a whetstone and oil.  I've got some expensive knives and that's how I sharpen them.

To be honest, $100 is what I have paid for my small kitchen knives, not even the larger ones like Chef knives!  Good knives are a treasure and delight to use.  Buy the best knives you can possibly afford.  Collect them over the years!

I have one of those sharpeners and my knives have never been sharper or better.

My Cutco Double D cost way more than that.  I gave it to my Mom, and I'm now using my colorful cheap ones.  I'm getting another Cutco soon.

Ironically, when I'm done using them, the youngsters in the family want them.  Wish that were true for my jewelry and some of the decorative items I've also paid good money for over the years. Who knew!

Back in 1972 my mom bought me a set of Cutco knives as one of my wedding shower gifts...best knives ever!  I still use them daily and love them.  I do own the butcher block set of Henckle knives too, and love them as well.

We have a set of LamsonSharp knives.  Made in the US and simply wonderful.  Yes, they were expensive.  They were well worth the price.

Cutco? Yes! Rachael Ray? Absolutely not!

I have five Groovetech knives (the set of three small utility/paring knives and the set of two -- the chef's and the santoku) and I love them to death. I just wish they'd bring out a set of serrated knives -- say, one for bread and another smaller one for cutting tomatoes.
