The day I ruined a whole beef tenderloin with a dull knife...

Last Thursday was supposed to be a smooth shift, but I grabbed a knife I hadn't sharpened in a week. Tried to trim the silver skin on a $200 tenderloin and ended up gouging the meat so bad I had to turn it into stew meat. My coworker just shook his head and said 'dull tools cost you money.' Has anyone else had a costly mistake from skipping a basic sharpening session?

Buddy of mine ruined a whole rack of lamb with a chipped blade once.

Reminds me of the time I tried deboning a chicken with a butter knife.
