Good advice but I wouldnt really call that 'cheaping out'. You can buy kitchen knives for 2$ which you definitely shouldnt do

[–] Ceedoestrees 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Disagree. My favourite paring knife came from a discount bin at a dollar store in a pack of five. You can find decent knives at a dump if to you look hard enough, depending on your definition of cheap.

If the handle falls apart then the average person cant do shit about it even if blade quality is the same as a nice one.

[–] Ceedoestrees 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I have hope for the average person.

Oh yeah? Well half of all people are even dumber than that, so there.
