Hi:

My daughter has only one class left before starting her internship with
Keiser University's Capital Culinary Institute. She was required to
purchase a chef's kit that included Chef Cutlery by Mercer. For Christmas
she requested a set of better knives.

What cutlery brands and models should I look at that would be superior to
the Chef Cutlery by Mercer that she already has. I'm not rich, and need to
avoid spending an arm & a leg (pun intended). I figured I would get her one
to three knives for the holidays. I was planing to hold off getting her the
ceramic knives till her graduation.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John
