That's because I was speaking in high quality knife terms.
A good chef knife will do the work of a whole block of shitty knives. They are also easier to work with and much safer.
I would take a good chef knife and a paring knife over a set of 1000 infomercial knives.
If you to any decent amount of knife work your much better off with a good knife that 10 ok knives

Here is a good German steel mercer knife for 40 dollars. Mercer is considered pretty low end to chefs but a knife like this is many times better than what most people use.
Mercer 10" forged chef knife
I've used this brand before, decent enough. Mundial also makes a serviceable cheap knife, but is a tiny bit pricier, but still maybe in your price range.

A lot of people I have let use it cut themselves pretty fast.
I'd skip the Gourmet one. It's stamped, and Victorinox makes a sharper better handling stamped knife IMHO.
The other knives are forged, meaning they will be heavier. The wide chef is shorter and taller. It's probably heavier and will do the cutting by gravity. However, it'll be tougher to leverage. If you like that, you should try out Chinese cleavers. On the other hand, the 8 inch Classic is a reliable cutter with decent balance. The bolster is quite big, which will make sharpening annoying, but that's the only downside.
There are 10 inch knives to also consider since they can improve how much you can chop at once and improves leverage as well; though they can be expensive when forged, this Mercer (which I use) notwithstanding.
