Knives are a cook's best friend.  You don't have to spend a fortune for a good set of knives.  I bought a Wolfgang Puck set of 4 santoku knives at Sam's club for a bout $40.  They are great knives, I love them. 
Dull knives are a bad thing.  Always keep your knives sharp.  I have a hand sharpener with 2 ceramic rods.  Before every use I run the knife thru the sharpener about 10 times, then I use a knife steel on it.
Don't put your knives in the dish washer, the heat is a bad thing, and they can get tossed around and damage their edge.  I hand wash mine.
Over time, they will need to be resharpened by a professional.  I just sent out 6 knives to Accurate Sharpening and Cutlery Sales in Tempe, AZ.  I have never used them before.  The average cost was about $5.50 per knife plus shipping charge.
I will let you know how it goes.
See Ya
