My beloved can and does destroy any blade by using carving knives to strip willow, etc. You try to cut anything in our kitchen and it makes no difference if you use the 'sharp' or blunt edge. She also objects if I attempt to re-grind them as they become 'too sharp and dangerous'.
The sharpest knife we have is actually a good quality stainless steel butter knife with a bone handle (which has become dyed pink, goodness only knows how) - somehow it has stood up to punishment the actual chopping, paring etc knives wilt at.
