I don't.

Mine are all the straight edge blades. I have a dual sided sharpening stone that I can usually get a good edge on there with by just spending a few minutes once a month. I'll take them to the local sharpening shop once a year just to get a good grind on there.

They do feel lighter than a Wusthoff or something like that, but I wouldn't say they feel genuinely light by any means. I have some shitty Kitchenaid thing that has a red handle that I use when I cut up ghost peppers or something and then throw it in the tailgate box. It was like 15 bucks and it sucks and yeah - that's light.

What people don't mention often enough on the Cutcos though are the handles. That's a really nice shape, at least for me. Feels great in the hand.
