I prefer Forged low carbon steel they are relatively inexpensive but hold an edge well and sharpen easily at home and a steel works wonders on their edge between sharpening.ed

Look around at flea markets. I found mine in one.
Kitchen knives are individual, you must feel it in your hand before you know if it will work out for you or not.
Chicago cutlery is an old company that I've had a 8 inch chef's knife for almost 30 years.
Stainless steel is the only way to go, IMO, because while you can get the low carbon blades sharper, they just tarnish too easily in my kitchen.
Watch out for Japanese knives, they grind the edge different and they don't work for left handed people.

Good to know, since I'm left handed.
I found one I liked at Kohls the other weekend, part of the Food Network guide of stuff. Had a nice heft to it, fit my hand nice, seemed solid. Alas, couldn't actually test it lol.

For some odd reason, I'll spend a fortune on my cookware, but seem to have issues buying nice knives and cuttlery (sp?).
$50 is probably all I'll be able to buy at the moment w/o cringing.

nothing really good in that price range, you'll have to be willing to get closer to $100 if you want an actual decent knife
