Once your knives have been sharpened professionaly, with the right tools and good practice you will be able to keep them nice and sharp for at least a year or two depending on how heavily they are used. Generally speaking the cheaper a knife was the softer (and thicker)the steel is likely to be and therefore will perform worse and go blunt more quickly but will also be more easily resharpened and honed.
