We have a Henckels knife that we just love--my mom got it for us for Christmas.
I also really love my commercial Calphalon nonstick griddle pan, because it is the most durable nonstick pan I've ever owned, and it makes amazing omelettes. It's the only nonstick pan we have--the rest are stainless steel.
I'm putting together my wedding registry, slowly but surely, and the things at the top of my list are a Kitchen Aid mixer, a food processor, a Le Creuset Dutch oven, a good set of knives, and a good set of pans. For looks alone, I'd like to have Le Creuset's little vegetable casseroles, especially this little garlic one:

If anyone has any recommendations, I'd like to see them.
Notably, this weekend we went to the Le Creuset outlet store and then on to a Macy's...the pots were cheaper at Macy's. However, the Mikasa outlet beat Macy's price.
