I bought a set of these Scanpan knives about 10 years ago and used them daily and we've only ever had to sharpen one of them once. They last forever if you take simple steps to look after them: don't use on hard surfaces - plastic and wood only, and only ever clean them with soap and cold water - never warm or hot.
The metal is not standard stainless steel but a type of CrMoV steel that's perfectly tempered to keep them sharp but not make them brittle. This is the same steel used in professional chef knives like the Global brand. Chefs prefer Global because they're lighter but I prefer Scanpan for the weight and look.
