Is there a knife I could buy that never needs sharpening???

[a kennedy]

Since my husband has passed away, he has always sharpened ours, and I don’t know how, hoping there’s one out there that won’t need sharpening. Is there??? Thanks.

1. You can take them to be sharpened.

Google knife sharpening in your area.
Ace hardware does it for $6.99 a blade. So, if they're good chef's knives, it's worth it.

2. Yah, and how often?? I guess I'll know when they need it right??

Thanks

3. I'm not sure.

I have a favorite knife I use. It's not fancy, but I love it. The ronco rocker. I use it for everything and the blade stays pretty sharp. The last one I bought new on ebay for $19.00. It's still sharp after 2 years.

5. Thanks, and I did DuckDuckGo knife sharpening, did give a few places.....Ace hardware

being the closest. Might have to check out your knife suggestion, and Ace as well.

4. Try this ceramic blade available at the Amazon link and also in many supermarket aisles...

…I have several, and swear by ‘em!

6. Plenty out there that say they don't need sharpening. I have some ceramic knifes that do a reasonable job

but not necessarily for all purposes. They have remained sharp but I'm not a gourmet cook so they don't get the same "work-out" in my home as elsewhere.

7. It's not hard to sharpen a knife -- you could use whatever your husband used and look on youtube for instructions.

8. Check the late night infomercials. Cuts bricks, never needs sharpening.

Not really my recommendation.

9. Be Cautious

I'm very leery of claims of a knife that doesn't need sharpening.
There is no cutlery grade steel that has enough surface hardness to stay permanently keen.
Also, remember that "sharp enough" is different for different users, but a kitchen knife that isn't cutting easily is actually riskier than a properly sharpened knife. The more pressure we need to apply, the greater the risk of slip or deflection.
I use a whetstone, but in a pinch I have a Bavarian Edge sharpener. It's easy to use and it does work. Not as good as a full sharpening, but pretty darned good.
And, it's probably cheaper than those "never needs sharpening" knives.

10. If there's a knife that never needs sharpening, I've certainly never heard of it. (nt)

11. No, wit and sarcasm can't be bought.

They can, however, be rented if you have the money to pay somebody to employ them.
