Wusthof and Henckels are both excellent knife manufacturers. Be certain that you DO NOT get Henckels International -- they are cheaper but are not of good quality.

Look at Henckels Four Star, Five Star and Pro S lines.

Kyocera ceramic. Metal is for losers.

Henckels, Calphalon and Wusthof are all pretty good. Every brand has a cheap line that's not as good, so watch out. You at least want forged blades instead of stamped. For under $80 you could get one or two really nice knives or a set of cheapish knives.
