Need advice on a good knife set

Hello!
I really hoping someone can help me out here.
I'm shopping for knife sets for my wife. She's really into cooking and
great at it (and truly, this is not just MY opinion!)
Little by little, we've been improving upon the cooking implements that she
has at her disposal.
Now it's time for new knives.
My question: is there any consensus as to who makes the best knives?
Henckels? Wusthof? Sabatier? Others?
How about the best "bang for the buck"? Maybe not the absolute best, but
the best for the money.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Paul,

Try Cutco knives. I have a set of them at home. They are of good quality and
have a comfortable feel to them. Nice handle, and balanced well. They are not
cheap, by any means, but they are pretty good.

Here's the address to their website:

Happy Holidays!

According to Norman Weinstein, a nationally recognized knife skills
instructor who's taught since 1995 at the Institute of Culinary
Education that would be a big mistake. The Baltimore Sun came out
with an article on kitchen knives that is a good read, you should
