My parents have used Cutco knives for years and they're pretty decent. However, they probably weren't the best value.

I use a set of Professional 'S' ZW Henckels knives. A lot of people knock Henckels because they've heavily promoted their 'International' or single-man brand which has degraded their name. My dad bought me a single-man Henckels set a couple of years ago as a house-warming gift and it was largely garbage. I found a good deal on a ZW Henckels set (or double-man) several weeks ago and I find them pretty good for my needs. The knives are well-balanced and the handles are fairly ergonomic.

I've also held Global knives in-store and while pretty, they're a little too light for my liking. I've never tried Shun in-store, but they seem pretty popular these days too.
