If you come to Norwalk or Westchester for the Henckels and Wustof and all the other brands of knives they sell all made by the same people, you can drive another fifteen or 30 minutes up to Monroe and hit the Swiss Army warehouse sale (also some great values there), as they are usually the same weekend, and get some of the Victorinox knives. I believe all those places also offer sharpening, but don't think it's while you wait.
