After extensive researching on the internet and deciding that I really wanted stainless, I chose Wusthof. I have a set of white culinar. They're very nice. Its only a 5 piece set, 8" chef, 6" utility, 4" paring, & 6" santoku. Covers about everything I need good quality knives for. I also have a grand prix 10" and a global paring. The global is nice. I must say, Global is right up there with Wusthof in terms of mass manufacturers.

Can't beat custom though. Theres no way I could afford the Japanese/Mastro knives. Not yet anyway....
