Overheard a guy at the counter say he's never sharpened his knives, been cutting meat for 15 years

I was wiping down the display case last Tuesday and this older fella walks in, orders a pork shoulder, and casually drops that line. I nearly dropped my rag. I asked him how his knives still cut anything and he said he just buys a new one every 6 months. Has anyone else met someone like this? How do they not just smash the meat to pieces?

Wouldn't a fresh factory edge cut better than any worn-out stone job anyway?

Nah, but how often you really sharpen compared to just using it till it's dull?

6 months? @blake792, a fresh factory edge every half year still sounds like a waste of good money.
