Based on the wonderful discussion we had on my gumbo post, I'd figure I ought to do another post in a similar fashion.
It seems that many dramatards completely lack any semblance of knowledge when it comes to the kitchen.
Keeping your knives sharp is a necessity if you plan on cooking anything at home.
For 150 dollars, you can have a great knife, and everything you need to take care of it.
I'm willing to give knife advice to anyone who asks. I feel it's my duty to educate dramatards on (arguably) useful life skills.
Also, unrelated, but wtf is shave butter? I got a walmart online order, and they ran out of the brand of shaving cream I bought. Rather than swapping the brand of the product, they gave me their shaving butter. They were also out of Sam's Purified Drinking Water

A few things.
Pull-through sharpeners don't get nearly as sharp as a whetstone.
They take off more material than a whetstone.
Only 1 or 2 angle settings, meaning knives with a 17 degree edge will be forced into a 20 or 15 degree edge.
Whetstones smooth the metal as well as remove it, while pull-through sharpeners roughly grind the metal off.
You feel cool when you sharpen with a whetstone.

Weeb shit.
I have a swiss made pull off sharper and knife. If I would cut into my finger I will end up cutting directly into my bone because they're sharp as heck.
There is no way you can sharp away that much material from sharpening. Probably a life time case study

It depends on how often you sharpen.
I've seen chef knives look like boning knives after a year from daily use of those things.
