if money is no problem than one of the best knife company's in the world is mac from japan i belive.
mac- one of the hardest blade's in the industry if you follow company sharpening suggestions thatn a fairly easy knife to sharpen but a few specialty tools are recomended.
Global- i have used globels limitedly they are fairly easy to sharpen if you remeber that they use 2 different blade angles so sharpening requires a litttle more skill and a better understanding of angles. also they are very light and have a very thin blade which does make more accurate cuts but can be painful until you have a true chefs calus.
wustof- currently if have a partial set of wustof (10" french"chef's" wide blade, 8" french, 6.5" santoku) as daily use in the kitchen and love them easy to sharpen, and maintain. with enough weight so that the knife cuts not you.
forschner- best value for the money. great knife all around.
henckles- again .inc not international better quality similar to wustof
but finding what you are the most comfortable with is more important. and when buying don't be afraid to ask questions
a good starter set includes- a French(chef's), pairing, bread(serrated) knives they are the most versital and most widely used
again this is just my opinion
