Why Most Knives Fail After Week One
They all start sharp — but most knives don’t stay that way. Here’s why the blade in your kitchen lets you down, and how this quietly puts your health at risk.
1. Every Knife Comes Sharp… Until It Doesn’t.
Let’s be honest: almost every kitchen knife feels sharp when you first use it. Slicing through a tomato or breaking down a chicken feels effortless… for about a week.
Then the edge starts to fade. You press harder. The cuts become clunky. And eventually, you stop trusting the blade in your hand.
The new knife you loved is now the old knife you hate, and it’s only been a few weeks. If even that.
You’ve paid good money for a nice experience that didn’t last, not for a great tool that does last.
And you’re left with a dull knife cluttering your drawer.
2. Dull Blades Aren’t Just Annoying — They’re Dangerous.
Here’s what most people don’t realize: a dull knife is one of the most dangerous tools in your kitchen.
When the edge isn’t razor-sharp, you start forcing it through food. That’s when slips happen. That’s when fingers get too close.
Combine that with a cheap, uncomfortable handle and you’ve got a recipe for frustration. And injury.
⚠️ Fact: Over 350,000 kitchen knife injuries are reported annually in the U.S. alone.
⚠️ Fact: OSHA confirms that dull blades cause more injuries than sharp ones.
3. Cheap Knives Are Built to Sell — Not to Perform
The average knife from a department store or cookie-cutter knife block set? It’s stamped from soft steel that goes dull fast and is a nightmare to re-sharpen.
It’s glued into a hollow plastic handle that cracks, and polished to look premium, without performing like it.
These blades are designed to impress on the shelf, not hold up on the cutting board.
Before long it’s dull, showing signs of rust, and starting to come loose.
❌ Fact: Most stamped, soft steel blades begin dulling after just 2–3 uses.
