Spent $600 on a custom boning knife and it was a waste

I bought a handmade boning knife from a guy online last year. Cost me $600 and looked beautiful in the photos. But the steel was way too soft. I had to sharpen it after every 10 chickens. My old $80 Victorinox does a better job and holds an edge three times as long. Anyone else get burned on a fancy knife that couldn't do the work?

That "beautiful in the photos" part got me too once.

Yeah I read somewhere that some of those custom makers don't even heat treat their blades properly. Sucks you got stuck with a pretty paperweight.
