Its a huge issue. I did some rehandle work for a friends brother, he used to be a knife dealer and now works as a chef. He has three sets, his cheap plastic handles for work in back, his flashy Damascus and cocobolo burl blades for front of the house demonstrations "He actually bought all my cocobolo burl THE DAY I bought it. And then his s35Vn knives he keeps at home. He says he brought his own safe to the restaurant to store his showy knives when hes not working because he knows they would vanish in a second otherwise. Its a damn shame.
