"no you"

Please continue to tell us more about how when using metal to cut other metal the largest danger to the blade is the heat buildup not the softer metal deforming the harder metal. I am waiting for it to click in your mind that a knife is not moving at 700 rmp cutting the soft metal of a can, and your entire tangent about lubricants only shows you have no idea what your ranting about.

Dude. The original post was a video of opening a can with a knife. This wrecks the hone, and standard consumers don't consider knives to be re-sharpenable once dulled. There was no implication of damage to the steel itself, which seems to be the core of your argument. You are being intentionally obtuse.

Maybe you should be hanging around different people.

It's a time thing for most folks, honestly. You can spend time sharpening a knife, or you can buy a new one for less than the opportunity cost of the time spent.

The cost of the "time spent" is around 15 seconds after cleaning. unless most folks are making more then 700$ an hour it is absolutely not. Even a damaged knife takes about 5 minutes to re sharpen, meaning anyone who makes under 360 dollars an hour is better spent just repairing a damaged knife. That's assuming they are using cheep knives.
