For me at least, It's not about showing off. It's about excellence in what you do (cooking in this case). I've more or less given up cooking in the past year or so in terms of laziness, but I think I might go back to it after reno'ing my place XD
You throw your knives in the dishwasher, especially high quality knives? That's sacriligious.

Don't get me wrong, as with a lot of things I do, I ensure I have the proper tools to do the job. All in all, cooking is hard work and anything that makes it easier (like good knives) is worth investing in.

But, I will admit that the women for whom I've cooked have been impressed with the knives, plates, and all of the other kitchen gadgets I've collected over the last couple of years.
