My cousing said it might be
related to washing the knives in a dishwasher, but only about a
quarter of the knives seem to be affected.


Normally, only about two or three more knives than the population of the
household ever get used. They get used, washed, and put back in the same
place. By habit and position in the keeping place, they're the ones
picked again next time one is needed.

Over and over. Got ten knives and two people at home? I'll bet fewer
than five ever show any signs of wear.

That's the way it is here. I've swapped out two steak knives which
got loose from so much wear, but the closest slot to the sink is the
knife which gets picked time and again. The worn knives went to the
back row farthest away from the sink, where I usually open the steak
or roast to let the package bleed and rinse the meat before seasoning
and cooking.
