If you want beautiful, affordable knives that hold an edge well, check out the IKEA SLITBAR series (terrible name). The handles are olive wood and I forget the steel type but it's harder than most inexpensive knives and keeps a nice edge.
The lineup.
Best bang-for-the-buck is the 6" chef's knife at $19.99.
If you want to invest in wonderful daily-use knives that will last you decades, I recommend the [Global 3-piece starter set]http://www.amazon.com/Global-Piece-Knife-Set-G-257/dp/B00012EVVQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421303671&sr=8-1&keywords=global+G-257&pebp=1421303673122&peasin=B00012EVVQ).
Yes, they're expensive, but what's nice is there aren't any throwaways in here. Lots of 3-piece starter sets include one piece that's filler, like a honing steel or a serrated bread knife. This set has 3 extremely useful knives. The 8" chef's knife is your main tool, the paring knife is for detail work, and the "utility blade" is really just a chef's knife with the last few inches chopped off. It's great for when you have a friend helping you prep veggies, and it's good for smaller people or those who are intimidated by huge-ass kitchen knives. I own an older version of this set, and it's one of my favorite things in the kitchen.
The grind is convex (DO NOT run it through a motorized blade-grinder sharpener) so it holds an edge for a long-ass time, not to mention it's made of great steel.
I know you didn't ask for knife recommendations, but I got excited when I imagined pretty and high-quality knives up on your beautiful magnetic board.
