In my experience the vast majority of cheap knives can’t hold an edge at all. The super budget stainless used is just too soft. At the same time I can find many in the $70-100 range that do considerably better in that regard - I sharpen them 3-4 times less frequently.
I prefer to spend a little more on the 1-2 that get the most use.

I was on a night train, alone in the compartment, when a door opened around 2am letting in a very tall guy built like a fridge. I’m above average in height and build and he dwarfed me. He had a face to match including a long scar going from his eye to the jaw bone. Think Marv from Sin City, but more grim and less charming.
He nodded, took off his coat and that’s when I noticed a clerical collar.
I’ve got a redneck engineering version of this that is arguably better: 4 480x120x45mm radiators mounted on a generic 20 inch box fan - even at the lowest fan speed it has no problem keeping 2 high end PCs (daisy chained) VERY cool and is almost completely silent. I’ve added a frame from $10 worth of aluminium flat from a hardware store and used metal screws to attach extended feet directly to the frame of the fan so it doesn’t fall over - I’ve only used a hacksaw blade and a drill to make it, I’ve lived in a condo at the time and that’s all I’ve had available.
