Low Quality Steel - Chef's Knife

This is my wife's chef's knife and we have had it for over a year now. She mainly cuts vegetables with it. I have an outsource sharpening service and have noticed an excessive amount of chipping on the top. The steel is X 50 CR MO V15, respectable with a Rockwell hardness of around 58, so I don't know what the problem is. My problem is that for the third time since I've had it I have to remove an excessive amount of material to get to the shavings and I can already see the curve of the blade just before the bolster. which greatly affects the quality of this knife.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • is embarrassing
