+1 for the Victorinox fibrox series. They're not pretty, they're not designed, they're not cool, they're not the sharpest, and they're not cheap.

But they're certainly not expensive, and they're just 100% utilitarian. Ergonomic, sharp, easy to sharpen, and you can throw them in the dishwasher no problem.

If you want to optimize for value-for-money and ease-of-maintenance, these are it.

Victorinox can take very nice edge. If you are good on the stones. The steel doesn't feel gummy at all.
