Solution knives are a great value priced line of knives that are perfect for a starter kitchen.  Stamped from a single sheet of high quality stainless steel they are light weight and corrosion resistant.  A full tang of steel running through the handle makes them stable and sturdy.  I like the way the handle is high on the bolster because it provides a comfortable area for my pinch grip.  The Prep Knife blade feels nice and sharp.  This is a great size for smaller quantities where you don't need the reach of a longer blade and with a slightly curved tip you can use the rocking motion you are used to using with your larger chef's knife.
