You can't go wrong with Henckels classic.  I love to cook and want knives that are durable, sharp and are going to stay sharp, but buget friendly.  That's exactly what you get with classic.  They have the same weight and feel of the German made knives, but they're made in Spain so they're more affordable.
This little 5" santoku is perfect for chopping onions and nothing sticks to the blade.  The parer is perfect for all the little things, like apples and potatoes.  It's just a great combo.
