BIFL Quality Knives that Last
I got a set of Chicago Cutlery knives in 1986. They're still my favorites. One of the knife's wood handles split a few years ago, I glued it back together and it's fine. My smallest knife I really misused (I think I was using it to open a can) and I broke off the very tip, prob 2mm. I still use that one too!

BIFL Quality Knives that Last
The oldest knife i own is ~20 years and has been actively used, Chicago Cutlery Santoku style that cost about $15 from Walmart. It feels just right for my hands and style and it works well. My point is not that Chicago Cutlery are superior products but that I’ve used the same budget brand knife for so long because I sharpen my knives, I started with a Lansky kit and now use a diamond plate 1k. I also have Victoria, Global, Messermeister, and a $30 colored set from Costco. Trick number 2 for BIFL knives, have a set of cheap knives for guests and helpers to use that you really don’t care about so when your mother in law starts chopping directly onto a quartz countertop you don’t get upset and the knives you prefer don’t get damaged.

My father in laws old kitchen knife
It looks like a Chicago Cutlery knife that was gifted to me in 1970 by the local butchers who took pity on me as a very young new bride with absolutely no kitchen knives at all. I still have it
