Are you cutting on a GLASS board?

All my cutting is done on hard acrylic cutting boards...no matter what quality of knife U use they need to be sharpened not 2-3 times a year...what I mean by sharpening is using a sharpener to keep that 20 degree edge then the steel which is basically to smooth the edge....when I go to a families house for holidays I bring my knives to cut the turkey or ham...I have skinned over a hundred deer and U need a sharp blade

I wil admit that some of todays Chicago knives R junk...to replace one my wife thought she was getting a bargin at one of them thrift shops...I threw it in the trash.
