Very true. A sharp knife is a must when preparing food. It needs to be sharp enough to cut to the bone. You must learn how to keep it sharp (sharpening steel) and be very careful when you wash it. The dishwasher can be damaging to a knife egde if using an abrasive detergent.
I just buy my few knives at a restaurant supply they are like $17 for the large chef knife and the paring knives are like $7 each.
A good steel to keep them sharp with is about $17.
Learn how to use them and use them safely and you will be suprized at how fast you can dice and onion etc. etc.
