Talking Good Kitchen Knives

Hey guys (who also enjoy culinary on top of cars), what are some good knifes that you've had personal experience with?

Budget would depend on the type of knife, but the first and most important one would be a decent Chef or Santuko. I'm looking at around $70-$130 for this one.

I know Henckelsis a common one. Calphalon too and then seem more expansive. I'm most interested in Shun at this point, for their Japanese edge of 17 degrees. I probably can't afford an authentic Japanese one, plus the distance means lack of warrenty and service.

Also, what are some other brands such as Cutco knifes? They are supposedly pretty good for Amercian made knifes.

Thanks!
