No kidding. Most of our knifes are the same IKEA ones we bought fifteen years ago. Honing steel, whetstone and the occasional coat of oil for the wood part of the handle and they just last. I can understand the brand might dilute the resale value because IKEA tends to have a broad range of quality/cost in the line-up.

Ikea is very heavily a “value for money” company in my eyes. Their cheapest furniture in each category is basically pressed sawmill garbage but it will withstand everything but moving. If you move up in price the stuff actually gets better, not just fancier.
