This isn't knife abuse, blame it on soft steel? (sh.itjust.works)

5" santoku of "German steel". Daily driver for 8 years. I spammed u/dualsportdork with it and now I'm spamming you. What happens when the edge reaches the little indentations? The Singularity?

We finally have a professional, "get off my lawn" old man knife sharpener in my town. He goes by Mr. McKay. Do you think that Mr. McKay could save it?

    For sure. You're going to wind up with a blade that's noticeably narrower than when you started, though, once all the material is removed to get the edge straight again.

    If it were me I wouldn't even bother to take a stone to that until I buzzed it edge first into my belt grinder to straighten it out. Then I'd grind a new edge into it.
