I am a hobby cook. I have had a set of tramontina for years, they were okay. I used advice here to upgrade, but not exactly as most people here do...
I bought the Victornoix paring knife and bread knife for cheap on Amazon. The only issue is the paring knife is so cheap my wife uses it as a utility knife. Great and cheap, easily replaceable.
I got a Kershaw cheap ($15 then, $17.86 prime now) santoku from amazon. Love it. Easy and fast for most things. Easy to sharpen. So handy a friend got one, too.
My wife took a knife skills class at a local trendy grocery store, and wanted a great knife. We got her a Tojiro DP Gyuto. She likes it, I don't find it as fast as my cheap Kershaw santoku.My cheap one is just quick.
Down side is needing to pass it through the manual sharpener every two or three weeks.
Anyone else find the cheaper knives fit them better?
