My 2p - I agree that anything with a bit of weight is good enough as long as you sharpen it (my dad drummed 2 things into me as a kid - polish your shoes and keen your knives sharp). Having said that, my Dad always spent money on proper knives for cooking.
A year ago I moved in with a friend of mine who likes to buy kitchen stuff and have since fallen in love with his Global collection. The way they are weighted is just amazing, I find that using them on a daily basis has really improved my knife skills, even when using cheaper knives.
Pricey though...
^you missed out food, travel, politics, monarchy, economics, typography, legal matters, music, memes.... etc
