Knives - out

I use three brands of knives...
Cutco. Simply great knives.
Chicago Cutlery. Got a couple of old chef's knives that I really like.
Old Hickory. I've had four or five of those for forty years. They take more care, but they are easy to get a good edge.
For sharpening, I use these:

Not quite two years, but wondering on your feedback on these knifes.
I am looking to get a good set of kitchen knifes.
"Page Not Found"...but I remember the knives. She's happy.
I just go with the Amazon Basic - good enough for me, and when I can't sharpen them any more, I pitch 'em.

THoughts?
I'd say it depends on whether you clean your knives in the dishwasher or by hand.
If it is the dishwasher, I'd definitely go with the cheapo set. Knives look terrible after a few years of dishwasher. If you clean by hand, then I'd go with the expensive knives - but learn how to sharpen them!
I'm a big fan of knifes that are not stainless steel. Yes, they look ugly and rusty after a while, but their big upside is that they can be made razor-sharp again in a few seconds.
edit: uh, I see that this is from two years ago!

Why not put knives in the dishwasher?
It ruins the handle, especially if it is wooden.
It ruins the blade and makes it dull very quickly.

That's what husbands are for, to sharpen the knives.
I see now it's good I came back to the forum in time to reveal these truths.

I subcontracted that out to my father in law when he visited. He did a wonderful job.

Some folks are better than others. Some steel is better to work with than others.
Years ago, we were hunting in Canada and we noticed all the guides carried Shrade Sharpfingers. Those used to be (Chinese steel nowadays) great knives. They weren't stainless, so you could get a very sharp edge on them pretty fast, but they had enough carbon in them that they didn't dull by the third cut, either.
Can't find knives like that anymore.
