Knives for cooking

I'm looking into buying some decent knives because the one knife we have is shocking!

I've heard Global knives are good so had a quick look and found this set which seems pretty good as it is on offer.

Are there any other knives worth looking at?

Cheers.

Budget is around the £300 mark.

The reason I was thinking of buying a set is mainly because of the knife holder. I don't want to put expensive knives in the drawer and have them knock around/rub against things and have them ruined.

Ahh yes! I forgot there was such as thing as a magnetic knife strip. Ideal

I think I'm leaning towards those Kasumi Damascus knives. I just watched a video about knife sharpening technique and he was using one and if they're good enough for Ramsay then they're good enough for me!

I will probably buy three of those plus a magnetic strip and a sharpener. Is any old sharpener good to use or should I buy a more specific type?
