The Henckel blades are real nice but I really like the Cutco brand. They are just as good and have a forever guarantee so if they ever break or need sharpening you just send them back. A good set is around $400 and if you want the steak knives with it I think its about $600.
If you are just starting out you might just want to get a chef's blade and a paring knife. Both of those will take you through most kitchen needs. Also don't forget a good pair of kitchen shears!
