Last night, on my United flight from Dulles to Portland, with the 1st class dinner, I was given the typical cloth napkin with the cutlery rolled up inside. When I unrolled it, I found the normal 2 metal forks and a metal spool as usual. However, instead of getting the little silver plastic knife that I've gotten since 9/11, I was given a real, metal knife (pictured, quite badly, to the left).
I looked to the left and right to see if the other passengers were also getting a metal knife -- they were, so it wasn't some accidental fluke.
I presume the FAA has removed the restriction on metal knives -- something long past due as they airlines have had bulletproof (not just knife-proof) doors on the cockpit.

Yes, got them on a AA domestic flight as well.
