I would buy a higher end set of knifes. I use the Zwilling J.A. Henckels Professional S and don't intend on replacing them in my lifetime.
The knifes can be expensive if you don't know where to go. my go to place for kitchen supplies is the link below, I stopped buying this sort of stuff in Canada years ago. Lots of great quality products at a fraction of the prices in Canada.
