Anyone who does a lot of their own prep will very quickly notice how much longer things last if you cut them with a "scary sharp" knife. Even something as simple as diced onions or tomatoes will last much longer and lose much less moisture if they are cut with a very sharp knife.
But not to worry, even the steel on something as cheap as a victorinox will take a 10/15 edge and hold it, alas those big heavy stupid german knives won't.
