Finally swapped out my old, dull paring knife for a new Victorinox and the difference is night and day.
The old one was a cheap, no-name thing that came with a knife block years ago. I was just used to it, you know? It took way too much pressure to get through a tomato skin. Got the new one last week, and the first time I used it to supreme a grapefruit, I didn't even have to think about it. The blade just went where I wanted. It's not about having fancy gear, it's about not fighting your tools. What's one small upgrade you've made that saved you a surprising amount of effort?

Get a cheap ceramic honing rod for that new blade. It'll keep that edge feeling sharp for way longer. @zara447, for me it was an onion, the old one just crushed it instead of slicing.
