Kyocera Ceramic Knife Review

Proper honing (straightening the edge of the knife) should keep your knives edge good for a while. Realistically, with moderate use, you should only have to re-sharpen (removing metal to re-form the bevel of the cutting edge) your knives every 6 months, maybe even once a year unless you have really cheap knives with poor quality steel. Also, if you don't have a good knife sharpener, best money spent is to take your knives to a professional who can sharpen them for you.

Sharpening too often will ruin a knife in short order as well as poor sharpening technique will ruin a knife as well.

America's Test Kitchen did a segment wherein they showed through testing that putting your knives blade down into a wooden knife block dulls them very quickly. They suggested a jar full of rice, but if you wanted to use a wood block, just put them into the slots blade up.

Good advice. When I had that type of a block, I would always try to put them blade up. My wife could care less. I ended up buying her a cheapo set of knives to use when she cooks. Has saved me lots of headaches.
