Yeah, the Henckel Zwilling knives are definitely good ones! A good knife i easy to get sharp and will stay that way for longer. You’ll know one when you’ve owned one ;-)
I can also highly recommend Victorinox (yep, it’s the swiss pocket knive people). Excellent steel and very nice wooden handles. They also do plastic handle versions. I guess the blades are the same – but the plastic is cheap looking, so I’ve never tried them.
Likewise Global seems to have gotten the steel right – however the handles are not to my liking… To small – and I suspect design over function ;-)

We have two brands of knives on the magnet -- J.A. Henckels and Wolfgang Puck. We got the Puck knives as a Christmas gift. I was initially impressed with them, as they looked and felt as good as the Henckels. But after months over the stove, the Puck knives are starting to get rust spots and the black handles have faded to gray. Plus, the steel doesn't keep an edge nearly as good as the more expensive Henckels knives. On the other hand, the Henckels have held up fine. They sometimes get some little spots on the steel, but it comes off after we wash them. I guess you really do get what you pay for.

i love using magnetic bars to store my kitchen knives. got mine from IKEA. i do find the placement of your knives curious. how are they holding up to the steam, oil and food splatters? do you find that you need to clean your knives more often?
