I am in the market for a new knife set. Looking for value and quality (hopefully not mutually exclusive!). Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What kind of knife set are you referring to? Kitchen cutlery?

Yes, Steve - kitchen cutlery.

We have mostly Henckels, and I like them. There are other brands, like some Japanese knives of Damascus steel that are scary sharp - at least when new. But then you're talking two or three times the price, and I'm not sure that they are better kitchen tools over the long haul. One of my daughters has a few that her husband brought back from a business trip to Japan, and now, a few years later, they're not appreciably different from the Henckels.

Thanks for the recommendation Steve.

If you find a good set I can do a product review on my channel bro. I will get some good video footage and we can get prostaffed.
