In defense of the Ikea knife, anything nicer would have just been a waste sitting unused. Our kitchen was used like a large hallway for the past 6 years.
Nothing wrong with Ikea gear. High design, high value. I love Ikea cabinets, laminate counters, china, glassware, lighting, and anything they make in stainless steel. But man cannot live by Ikea alone! I guess that's why there's Viking, Herman Miller, DWR, Arhaus, Flos, Henckels, Bosch, etc.
