may not be the best place to ask, but it's probably the most appropriate.

looking for a knife set as mine is old and dull.

Not sure about a set, but the Forschner Victorinox line of knives are probably the most bang for your buck. I have all kinds of knives, but usually use about three for almost everything. I use an 8 inch chef's knife, 8 inch santoku (my favorite by far) and a 6 inch flexible boning knife. I also use a 12 inch meat slicer on occasion. Those would probably be the only four knives I would ever need.

depends on what you cook. you should probably be spending around $100, probably over on a chef's knife.....otherwise you can find solid pairing knives for $10-$15. if you are into boning poultry or other meats and breaking down fish, then go a step further with those sorts, but really you can mess with those still with a chef/pairing knife if you had to

One idea would be to replace the pieces of the set you have that you use the most with quality knives. Probably start with an 8" chef's knife, a 5" utility/vegetable knife, etc. Replace more as you go as you identify the ones you need.

I have had this set for about 10 years: Tramontina Professional.

For a mid-range price, they are great.
