I had a Henckel set for a long time. I have been replacing them with Dexter Sani Safe. They have good useful Kitchen Patterns don't cost much and are decent. Lots of people that make a living using a knife use them.

I don't need much. Cook cleaver (not a butcher's), fillet knife, and Victorinox paring knife handle everything for me. Add a bread knife, if necessary.

we use a few echo serrated knives that are 20 or more years old. they sharpen really easy with only a few passes on the edgemaker pro. we also have a few chicago cutlery 842r knives that come from the local poultry proccessors. thats about all they use.

I've had some expensive knives but they are a pain to take care of and don't work any better than a cheap sharp one. I actually like the white handled Dexter Russell knives and I keep them on a magnetic strip. Get the Dexter Russel steel to go with them and you are set. A lot of commercial kitchens actually use these knives. I bought mine from a restaurant supply that is no longer in business. A couple swipes on the steel and they are hair popping sharp and they are easy maintenance in cleaning. ^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I will add my vote for several knives from different makers that suit your needs. I have several from Henckles, Mundial, Forschner, Dexter Russell, Sabatier, Case XX and LamsonSharp.
Also, and as R_H_Clark mentioned, the white-handled Dexter Russell are very good knives for a very reasonable price. The Dexter V-Lo series of knives are also great and have nice, grippy handles. I have a few of each.
However, it sounds like you might want a matched set, if so, I'd recommend going to a Restaurant Supply and picking out several Dexter V-Lo knives that you like and you will have a great set for not much money at all. There are also V-Lo sets available along with a matching stainless steel knife block or knife roll that should be within your budget. You get a lot of bang for the buck with Russell.
