Is there anything worse than cutting with a dull knife? Don't answer that. I'm not accepting push-back at this time. There is nothing worse. And not only that, but they say cutting with a dull knife is actually more dangerous than slicing with a sharp one, since the former requires more pressure, increasing the likelihood it might slip.
Unless you're investing in a quality knife set from one of the best home decor brands, your knives are probably quite dull; double that likelihood if you have a roommate. That leaves you with the option of sharpening your knives, but a cheap sharpener might only solve the problem for a few meals.
