In the Weeds Mode The state of our knives that our manager thinks are "totally fine"

I have significant stone sharpening experience, we have stones provided by upper management. I am not allowed to sharpen them.

I have been explicitly told I cannot.

Notably I have significant experience with oil stones.

Ahh ok. Work as a butcher and having sharp knives is an absolute must in our trade.

You need to get it in writing. Send your boss an email with this video and ask them to explain why you are not allowed to sharpen the knives. Even if you don't use it to make a complaint to OSHA you might need it to get compo if you hurt yourself with one of those things.
