I recommend Wüsthof Classic Ikon which I purchased to replace some starter Henckels we had for a long time. I started with the Classic Ikon steak knives and then added a 7-piece block set and a couple of individual knives. They are expensive, but a lifetime purchase.

Don’t get a giant set. Figure out the knives you will use and find a smaller set or buy individual of what you want. You can always add more. Spend the money on quality not quantity.
