When I was cooking for a living I really liked the J.A. Henckels
4-star line. They have a 5-star line now which is basically the same but
with an 'ergonomic' grip. Don't buy the ever-sharp line-don't buy any all
serrated knives. Serrated knives can't really be sharpened-they are best
for cutting bread, and tomatoes that's it. Good knives are not cheap so be
prepared for sticker shock.
I like the 4-star because it has smooth handles (no rivets for gunk
to get stuck under) and a full tang design. That, and they just felt more
balanced in my hand.
