we have cutco, they are expensive but amazing, but you can cut yourself very easily because they are extremely sharp

Just to add to the confusion. My coworker bought us these great knives from Zabars which are Kyocera knives and they are awesome. I didn't register for them but they are one of my favorite gifts.

I am registered for the Shun knives and I just got my Santoku knife.... see description below. I used it the other day, it's amazing!!!

Fully Forged Damascus clad layered knives made in Japan!
The beautiful new line of cutlery represents the latest technology and the finest steel in Damascus clad knives. Shun takes a Carbon Steel (VG-10 steel) blade and layers it with 16 pieces of high carbon stainless steel alloy (SUS 410 + Nickel Steel) to produce an amazing edge that will not rust. The ebony black laminated Pakka Wood handle is very comfortable, made in the traditional 'D' shape with a stainless steel end cap and the traditional ergonomic offset bolster. The handle is designed for maximum comfort during use.
KAI has been Japan's premier blade producer for almost a century, with factories located in Seki City, Japan's famous samurai sword-making center. Blade smiths of Seki have been carrying on the tradition of fine cutlery for more than 700 years. Lifetime warranty!
These knives are the choice of Master Sushi Chefs around the world!

here's a pic

i have the santoku knife and the 7 piece set with block. They are quite pricey but hey, it's on your registry!

I have to agree. We got a full set of them with a bunch of other 'tools' as an early wedding present. They can go in the dishwasher... love that!!
My mother has Henkels and they can't go in the dishwasher. It is so annoying!!

I think Shun makes the best knives. They are pretty $$$$ so we registered for a couple of their chef's knives and then supplemented with Henckel's.
