Well, they aren't cheap, but I *love* my global knives.
I just have the chef's knife and the paring knife, and they're wonderful.
Also, Wusthof knives are nice, and a little less expensive than the globals.
Personally, I would get a good chef's knife and a good paring knife - that covers most of what you need. No need to get all fancy with a half-dozen or more knives.
