I'm bad. I never hone. Most of my knives are Japanese blades, and I've read most of the hones do more damage than good, so I don't use a steel. I have a good rotary sharpener and hone that I'll give a few swipes on maybe twice a year.

One thing to note about the Victorinox chef's knife, blade angle is 15 degrees, not 22 like most Western knives. If you sharpen yourself, be sure to note that and either hand sharpen or get an electric that will handle Asian blades.

A good article on knives from Cook's Illustrated, if you're interested: https://www.victorinox.com/medias/sy...hefsKnives.pdf
