You don't have to spend much to get a decent knife set.
I did a lot of research , and even though the much touted knife by victorinox is a really good knife, it is a bit pricey for my taste. Mind you, kitchen minimalists usually say that all you need is a chef's knife, a paring knife, and a good bread knife.
I purchased this set of chicago cutlery for $15 and some change. (edit) Amazon is now running a 4-for-3 promotion, so this means you buy four items that qualify for this promotion, and you get the lowest priced one free. Not a bad deal at all.
I then purchased this chicago cutlery bread knife for another $15
lastly i purchased a chicago cutlery steel to keep all the knives honed.
So, altogether it tallies up to about $42 (free shipping since it is more than $25). Keep in mind that these items all qualify for the 4-for3 promotion, so you could pick these up, and maybe buy some kitchen shears, and get them free or what not.
So far i am more than happy with my purchase. Could the Victorinox have been a better chef's knife than that Chicago Cultery? probably so. Is it that much better that i need to pay for 1 knife what i paid for almost the whole set? NO.
Just make sure you use some mineral oil on the wood handles. These knives are extremely well built, and have a good heft to them. I sharpened them with the steel, and they cut like a razor.
If you are really set on using all wood knives, then get the chicago cultery steak knife set as well. NOTE: these do not qualify for the 4-for3 promotion.
I purchased the Miu steak knives instead, note that they qualify for the 4-for3 promotion as well.

Hope this helps.
I'd personally go with non-serrated knives. I like food to be sliced like a razor, not rough sawed. Some people don't mind this nuance, or care to do the upkeep necessary to have straight bladed steak knives that work properly. These knives are supposed to be very good, and are just around your price range. These are a bit cheaper and should be just fine for your purposes, however the handle is reported to be a little rough. Both sets can be sharpened easily as well.
