I bought an expensive Wusthof knife block set and they are pretty nice. However after getting a relatively inexpensive Victorinox Fibrox chefs knife I fell in love. They are really high quality knifes for a fraction of the price for name brands. Also the handles are perfect, non slip, thick, perfect curves
I mostly use a large chefs knife or santuko, a smaller utility knife and a bread knife.
Heres a great starter set:

Buy a block and add knifes as you get some more money.

You can buy a knife block separately, or a magnetic wall-mounted knife holder, or if you do store them in a drawer, get a set of these guys
First of all, never buy a matching set of knives. Instead, buy a generic knife storage block, and fill it out as you need it. I have this one from Amazon and like it a lot.
For chef's knives, I'm really happy with the Kiwi knives I got from the Wok Shop. They're certainly no Henkels or Wusthof, but they're absolutely fantastic for the price. They see daily use in my kitchen, right alongside my $100 Global santoku. Get a real whetstone (like this) and learn how to use it, and you can get a really nice edge on them too.
Are you sure your friend can mount a magnetic strip? I for once wish I could but my kitchen setup prevents me from doing so. In case it helps I actually have this knife block and am quite happy with it.
