So, /ck/, what do you think of the pairing of super cheap knives with an electric sharpener? I'm not naturally skilled or nimble with knives like a lot of people are, nor am I good at keeping the knives I do have sharp. Why not just have an easy and cheap way to hone my skills with cheapshit but regularly sharp knives?
So what's your question?
Cheap knives go well with whatever, they're cheap and won't hold onto their edge for more than a couple uses, but certainly hold their own in a kitchen.
Beware of bones and fffffucking ceramic countertops.

The main problem with electric sharpeners is that they heat up and ruin the temper of your edge. If you're using them on cheap knives that you don't really care about, have at. It's a perfectly viable alternative.
I actually recommend it for most occasional home cooks. Spend the money on tools as your skills improve. A person with skills is enhanced by good tools. The greatest knife in the world will not turn a rookie into a god of cooking.
