Hands down quality kitchen knives at a low cost are Phillipe Richard.
King Arthur's knives
I used to sell knives and Cutco is BEYOND awesome!! They are handsdown the most awesome knives in the world. They also have a lifetime sharpness warranty. Anytime they dull just send them in to the factory and they re-sharpen them for you. If they can't be sharpened they will replace them at no cost. This is for the life of the knives as well, not the life of you. Meaning you can pass them down generation to generation.

Wusthof by far
I love my Henckels. I find the handle weighting and range of blade options is just perfect for the way I cook. I am hard on knives, I don't take care of them as well as I should, but mine have held up for 20 years and will probably last a lifetime. This is like buying a mattress... the fit is different for everyone based on their physical size and working style. Don't just buy blind based on prestige or reputation, you gotta go actually try them out.
I've been cooking professionally for 10 years and I've had many different knives. If money is no option, then you might think about buying a custom made japanese knove taylored to you needs. The best come from seki city japan. If you're looking for a cheap workhorse that lives about 1-1.5 years and is cheap, then buy a forschner. It is a stamped blade, but you can afford to buy a new one every couple of years. Check out www.japanese-knife.com. Depending on what you need, you can find quality knives made with vanadium for anywhere from 200 to 15000 dollars. A few good western knives are Mac, kershaw-shun, messermeister (san moritz elite), and Hattori
In the US it is Chicago Cutlery hands down. Well balanced and hold their sharpness forever. We have been using ours for 50 years and they are still sharp.
