I am feed up with using cheep blunt knives when I decide to cook which is only once a week.

I'm kinda OCD about what I cook with. I refuse to cook unless it's with sharp knives. When I moved country, I moved with my knives ;)
I've always used a Mundial -

Probably the 10" at the top of the list. It's solid, holds a good edge, and will last a lifetime.
I've recently started using a Shun -

It's an incredible knife. Well balanced, very well made. Shun make some amaing knives - they're made by a Japanese company that traditionally made samurai swords, so they have the layered steel on the blade - which not only means that they hold an edge for an incredibly long time, when you sharpen them, they are incredibly, incredibly sharp.
Naturally, the only other thing you need to go w/ the knife is a steel, and the knowhow to use it. Cooking will never be the same ;)
