Will probably be thrown out of LFGSS knife club for this, but I've got a few of the IKEA 365+ kitchen knifes (£10-20 a piece) and have been really surprised by how good they are.
Decent ergonomic shape, even my fat hands can wield them, has a large flat tail on them. Dishwasher safe (what isn't!?). Only had to sharpen the more regular used one (pictured above, veg knife type size) a few times in the year I've had them (get used every day), vs. my old knifes (some expensive (but shit) arty farty ones from that expensive street in Glasgow (were about £120 for 6)).
IKEA also do a higher quality range, obv more expensive than the 365 offerings, but the quality is about as high as I've ever seen.
But yeah, can thoroughly recommend them, and this comes from someone who is fussy about everything.
As for 'now this is a knife' time, somewhere I have a Japanese officers sword & dagger that my great grandfather took from said officer, never taken a picture of it, probably should for insurance purposes and 'now this is a knife time' on lfgss.
