A lot also gets lost due social changes.
In most nations, once centralized industrial processing of milk started, within 10-20 years most recipes and methods for milk preservation was lost. Which includes a mind bongling number of fresh cheeses, and a extreme number of milk products.
A thing that got lost from urbanization was how to make confect products and various dry pastries who compliment storage and coffee. Coffee visitation is simply not common anymore.

Blaming this on women is just ignorance for how the tradition got lost, and how society change. And a poor deflection on how demographics and end user consumption has evolved.
Self written cookbooks and family recipes might get lost in another few decades due changing culture. Which is horrid.

>I have plentty of cheap knives in my collection and I can bring them to razor sharpness on my waterstones,
Most of those even work without sharpening. Its just painfully and too much effort to cut anything.

>And I am not even talking about the durability of the edge here, or the profile.
Durability is one of the most important aspects of sharpness. It dictates how much you can cut before you feel the first degrade, the second degrade, and thick objects you can cut.
And durability is often hardness as well, where harder metal cuts better so long its sharp.

Basically your stance is that you are projecting instead of attacking or using the argument.
If you have KNIFES, you NEED TO SHARPEN. If you don't need to sharpen the knifes, you are simply not using them.
Then comes knife quality. If you ever worked at any chef assembly line you would know that you might cut a few kilos of meat, but you also need to sharper some of the worse knifes before you can cut a few more kilos into dices or shapes. So basically if you had better knife you would sharpen it less.

And thats for chef knifes, since their shapes is very standardized these days. If you go to a store and buy a shitty chef knife, it will have some of the proper geometry.


I mean, your entire argument is basically
>It is the geometry, and if that is bad a knife will never perform
But since you don't define what that is, or give examples, you are spewing meaningless garbage.
