If you can find them Forschner makes the best knives around, for the money IMO. They dont sell in many places, and they cater specificly tward the proffesonal chef, so they dont have crapy, flashy, knives. Just plain, sharp, and easy maintaning knives.
And how do I know this? Well I own a set, and it was recomended to me by the first chef I worked under. He is still a very good friend of mine, and he still has his blades (he bought them in the early 80's).
They are made by Victorinox, owners of Swiss army. So I think they know a few things about knives.
just my .02
