For the expensive knife people, how frequent do you do maintenance?

 

[Kaldak]

I use the sharpener, the handheld one from the knife company, roughly once a month. If I'm cooking and chopping regularly like in-season time, it can be every other week.

My guide is how well it slices tomatoes. If it's crushing them at all, it needs a sharpening.

Daily home use:
Hone it weekly, sharpen roughly every 3 or so months. I personally do it every other month.

@Kaldak is spot on with doing a tomato test to get a good idea of if it's time or not.

Oil and talk at all?

Oil and talk at all?

I don't for my kitchen knives.

My foodie friend demands I send him our knives every three months that he does free of charge. But that tomato test mentioned previously is a better indicator.
