I didn't think I was buying myself something big for a Christmas gift this year, but I guess I am after all.  A friend's daughter is working for Cutco knives.  I clicked around on the website before listening to the sales pitch (no purchase required) and became interested.  I've wanted a few more table/steak knives as to avoid always having the ones in my block dirty, so I made the leap.  Long story short if you know of anyone who already loves these and would be willing to listen to the pitch let me know.  If you don't know about these knives I'll report back later with my assessment of them.
