For people like this, the best path is probably to buy cheap knives and a one of those cheap knife sharpeners that destroys the blade over time. One of those angled carbide sharpeners believe a terrible edge, but better than a dull knife.

I guess if you prefer nicer knives, you could always buy new ones periodically and give the old ones away on buy nothing to someone who will take care of them.

In practice people will never use their knife sharpeners, and instead use horribly blunt knifes for years on end. They're better off buying new cheap knifes every year.

Those cheap carbide sharpeners take literally seconds to sharpen with, but you’re probably right.
