It's not a set, but Victorinox makes great knives at not very much money. These are all in America's Test Kitchen's a la carte knife set as the "best buys":
• Victorinox Fibrox 8-inch Chef's Knife: $29.95
• Victorinox Fibrox Paring Knife: $4.95
• Victorinox 10-1/4-inch Fibrox Serrated (Wavy/Curvy) Bread Knife: $49.95
• Victorinox Fibrox 6-inch Straight Boning Knife: Flexible: $19.95
I personally don't think there's anything else you need, but if you want a big slicer or kitchen shears, this completes ATK's set:
• Victorinox Fibrox 12-Inch Granton Edge Slicing Knife: $49.95
• J. A. Henckels International Kitchen Shears—Take Apart: $14.95
And a universal block:
• Bodum Bistro Universal Knife Block: $44.95

Thanks!
How often do you sharpen?
