best advice, skip the set. go for a quality chef knife 6" 7" or 8" (I like 8" it's versatile). you will need a paring knife, and steak knives. And a decent sharpener that is about all you need. as long as you knives are sharp you can cut bread with them and won't need a bread knife. I had a "Good Cook" brand knife for about 15 years. but that is probably not what you're looking for.

Tip: Don't Ever put your knives in the dishwasher! this will ruin the steel and you will never be a able to get or keep it sharp. after cutting anything acidy, such as lemons, oranges, apples, tomatoes etc.. wash blade right away. the acid will dull the knife.

I don't know what your budge is but here are a few options

Or top of the line for me...

paring knife

these have a pretty high rating and they are not too expensive

and a sharpener. I know some will have a fit. but if you are like me or you just don't know how to use a stone correctly then the electric sharpeners or these little guys can do the job quite well. I have one like this
