My first set of good kitchen knives taught me that lesson the hard way. I ruined a perfectly fine edge on my chef's knife by trying to sharpen it in a hurry one night. Hannah994 is right, it never turns out well when you rush. Now I set aside a whole quiet hour on a Sunday, put on some music, and take my time with the stone. The difference in the cut is honestly night and day.

That would make me cancel my subscription so fast.

Tell my brother-in-law the same thing about my weird fridge noise. He swore it just needed to be leveled. Repair guy found a busted compressor. Still gets defensive if I mention it.
