I don't pretend to be a chef, but when you cook anything with fresh meat or produce, you need a couple of good knives to cut through food properly and to prevent injuries to yourself. Besides, for those rare times you might have a woman over, I'm sure she'd be impressed when you flash the hardware and/or when she uses the knives to cook for you.

If you're just starting to cook, you really only need 1 or 2 knives - a good chef's knife and a utility knife. I know that $150 may seem like a lot for a knife, but as long as you maintain it by sharpening and washing it properly, it should last 10+ years. That seems like a pretty good investment to me.
