People who buy electric sharpeners also buy cheap shit knives and store them loosely in a drawer with all the other kitchen stuff so it all balances out in the end.
This is true
Yeah, the way I see it; if you buy a fancy kitchen knife or two, you better also buy whetstones and learn how to sharpen properly. Those knives can be great, but they also need good care.
If you buy the cheapo IKEA knife set of 3 for $12, you might as well use a rubbish sharpener. It'll do the job, and the knives are borderline disposable. The lifetime of them won't really matter much in the grand scheme of things.
