I bought a Praxis in 2022, and it's hot garbage. The steel goes dull after 20 cuts (literally have to resharpen 2x a week if I want to slice paper. I don't even do much with it. Package opening, cellophane tape cutting). I could have gotten a lemon or fake (bought from Civivi Amazon store). The blade came dull, and the edge was poorly and unevenly sharpened. I think there might be some fakery going on, given the stellar reviews it gets. Your knife could also just be poorly lubed and overtightened
