America's Test Kitchen recommends the Victorinox knives for every skill level and budget, including professional chefs. It's just a damn good knife, and it happens to be cheap at around $50. Go with this rather than Ikea if it's in the budget :)

Fantastic starter knives, otherwise spend 150-200 on a Japanese gato/r/chefsknives has good recommendations.

The mass market knife block sets are actually worse than the victronix and cost more.

My first Sous Chef gave me his Victorinox from when he went to Culinary Institute of America. I still use it even though I've since bought a Wusthof. I like how it is thinner, it holds an edge well and has good ergonomics.
