Is it this one? Looks lovely, and it's close to the price point I'm looking at. I'll consider it, thanks.
Ceramic knives are generally not recommended. They are never as sharp as a quality steel knife, they chip and break very easily, and when they eventually go dull, they are an absolute bitch to sharpen. If you do decide on ceramic knives, buy them from a reputable brand like Kyocera.
Assuming that you want to spend $50-$80 and want a set of decent inexpensive knives, I would suggest this set: chef, utility, paring, bread (kinda optional), honing rod. Get a nice large wooden or plastic board if you don't have one.
Arcos is a Spanish brand that makes excellent knifes at a very reasonable price. Here and here you can see two of them.
Unless your knifes are chipped or cracked most of the knife's width they are fine. Here you can see a rusty knife being re polished, and here a chipped one. As you see the method is nearly the same, get stones, rub knife, repeat until knife cuts.
