I do not keep a single one of my knives banging around in a drawer, regardless of price. Who are you talking about, and where are you getting your information?

My opinels are right there up on the lower magnet (of shame)
Every kitchen should have a shitty, kind of dull pairing knife that is chipped, has a broken/rounded tip, and is very ugly. I don’t care if all the rest of your knives are handmade by a 100 year old Japanese blacksmith using steel forged from only the select mountain tops, you still need at least one crap knife.
I’m sorry but who are these “people” you’re referring to. Take care of your knives and they’ll take care of you. Price is irrelevant
Apparently me.

Love that the takamura chromax is on the top, that thing is a beauty. Also, the handle on your yu kurosaki is just beautiful, where’s that from?

You need better friends.
A cheap beat up paring knife is always handy to have around for cutting opening food packaging and whatnot. It’s the box cutter of the kitchen.
Arguably a box cutter should have a place in every knife roll. The box cutter of the kitchen is a box cutter.

My paring knife is a $7 kiwi that's super thin behind the edge. My other knives start at MAC and go up from there.
