So as someone else already said, don't buy a set. Buy the specific knives you want and will use.

For most people that's a workhorse 8"-10" chef's knife, a paring knife, and maybe a carver or bread knife.

Victorinox is gonna offer you a reliable durable sharp knife.at.the best price. With that said they're not the prettiest and they're stainless.

High carbon steel requires a lot more maintenance though and if you're not willing to keep up with it you're going to end up losing that BIFL you paid extra for.
