doing wrong.

Any guesses on why both knives would dull so quickly and would not
hold their edge?

You did not sharpen them correctly.

As far as I can tell I was sharpening them correctly. I say this
because not enough time has passed yet but so far neither knife has
gotten dull after many juicing preps. Both knifes use to get dull
after prepping for just one juicing.

No, but I think acid would have been better than what I unwittingly
did to these knives! When the brand new second knife went dull after
just one juice prep I used Google and came up with the answer that I
suspected was the problem.

Ok, enough 20 questions...

What damn fool thing did you do?

I figured you had sharpened them so they had a feather edge. Never
crossed my mind that glass cutting boards were available. Looks like
Precission Machinist had the right answer when he said cutting bricks.
