Paid $300 for a commercial grade boning knife and it's been a game changer

Bought a Dexter Russell boning knife after getting tired of cheap ones losing their edge mid-shift. Six months in and I only sharpen it once a week. Has anyone else dropped serious cash on a knife that actually paid off?

Ha! My $30 knife is out here fighting for its life while yours is living the dream.

That "fighting for its life" part hits hard, @burns.jenny. Are you talking about dullness, breakage, or just something that came loose after a bunch of use? I'm curious what's actually failing on a knife that's still getting the job done.

Respectfully, I don't really see it that way. A $30 knife that's still getting the job done sounds like it's earning its keep to me, not fighting for its life. The fancy ones are just along for the ride.
