So I decided to try something I usually don't do. I went on vacation with friends and family for 9 days and took 2 nice, expensive knives with me. I let all use them to make dinners and other food stuff. I also didn't take any sharpenning supplies, none. These are the victims....
I am glad to say the knives survived and were still mostly sharp at the end of the ordeal. They were used on cutting boards, mostly cheap plastic, we stayed at AirBnB houses. The knives were brought back to normal sharpness in a minute for each on 6k diamond. No chipping or anything drastic. The edges were somewhat blunt in most used sections, but still sharp enough to continue with normal cutting and food prep. Most of the edge was fully intact. I guess rwl @64 HRC and Zwear @63 HRC can handle some abuse.
