I swore that this holiday season I wasn't going to get people crappy gifts that they would just throw in a corner or re-gift for someone else. So, I think I'm going to get my parents a new set of kitchen knives as the ones they're using now they got as a wedding gift.

Does anyone have any brand and series suggestions? I was going to narrow my choices to either Henckels or Wusthofs but I don't know what the differences are between the different series. I'm looking for a 10 piece set with knife block, and preferably below $400. Thanks for the help. I looked a little on my own but they all look the same to me.
