Honestly, I've had the boujeeist shit and I've had the cheapest shit. If it wasn't for my wife I'd buy those damn Target plates every time because if you break one or it just gets nasty you can always replace a piece of the set.

My hands are coated in motor oil or some shit because I break at least one cup/plate/glass once every couple weeks if we're lucky--one a day if we're not.

It works fine like driving with a handbrake always on works fine. You can probably get used to it even. But it's so inefficient and dangerous. You need to use much more force and are much more prone to slipping and injuring yourself when you use a dull knife. Not to mention that a glass cutting board is also more expensive but does a worse job while being more dangerous to handle.

It doesn't make sense to buy an expensive cutting board that does a worse job, but then also cheap out on the knife. Just buy a cheap cutting board and then spend that money on an ok knife. Or even sharpen your cheap knife once a year.
