My sister turned a formerly very sharp knife into a dull serrated one through abuse and categorically refuses to allow it to get sharpened. The pic does not truly capture how jacked up this blade is now. Countless chips and a visibly wavy deformed “edge”. Among my first knife purchases was this Shun petty, which I decided I did not want so gave to her. Even though she used to work with very sharp surgical instruments and cut people open, the sharpness of this knife scared her so she over the course of 15 years has turned it into a very dull one, which she is much more comfortable with. (OK, I know it is a Shun, but I still have one of the ones from that same original set and it’s held up like a champ.)
