Yes, I think you could say that. I gave my wife a blue bone-handled cheetah, after she told me, "don't give me any more knives." I thought she would come to like it, and she has. I don't expect to see her edc that one, as she has other pieces she's more fond of.
I treated myself to a Case Yukon. I've never had one of their premium pieces before, and all I can say it "wow."
No pictures, yet. But I'll get them up soon.
