Q: What is the purpose of a well-maintained blade?
A: To cut things efficiently without getting dull and losing face.
Q: How often should I sharpen my blade?
A: Only when it's absolutely necessary. Excessive sharpening is a waste of time and energy.
Q: Can I use my blade to cut anything?
A: No. Don't try to cut through that old, rusty tin can from 1987. You'll ruin the whole thing and probably hurt yourself.
