I guess it depends on what you mean by "pay off". In my experience, a sharp kitchen knife means I can cut faster and more safely.
As to cost, I use a $30 diamond stone[1]. Mine is more than 20 years old and it still works great. I love diamond because I can use it dry, so it really cuts down on sharpening time.
