I'd recommend not buying a knife set, but deciding which individual knives you want & spending more money on those. e.g. we have a good breadknife, a very good large chef's knife, & a very good little vegetable/paring knife. And a couple of very average knives (one serrated, one not) dating from both of our student days. And do buy a knifeblock or something to keep 'em in. I'd also strongly recommend going & trying them out in person rather than buying online. I think we got ours from Pages, or possibly Jaeggis, both on Shaftesbury Ave. Knife-heft is a very individual thing! Juliet
