This.
I make custom knives. If you can’t be bothered to learn how to sharpen a knife on stones, and you want to have nice quality (and safe) knives, find a friend who knows how to sharpen knives, or periodically hit up a sharpening service.
It’s really not that hard, but does take a bit of practice to get used to holding a proper angle on the edge.
Buy a set of stones. Get one of your old dull knives. Watch some youtube videos. Practice until you can get your knife to cut wet paper towel cleanly…
