A couple years ago I came here for help to find a good knife. I am the 'average' home user and probably use it to cut one thing a day, so not a lot of work. I ended up landing on a wusthof chef's knife. I also got an edgemaker kit as per you guys' recommendation.
Out of the box it was extremely nice and sharp. But my main issue is that I have to sharpen it pretty damn often to keep it sharp, after a couple uses of not sharpening, walmart knives could put it to shame! After some reading, it turns out wusthof knives are great but they have softer steel than many others, so need to be sharpened more often.
Can you guys recommend a reasonably priced chef's knife that will stay sharp for as long as possible, minimizing sharpening needs.
Thanks!
