I really want to be a culinary artist and I'm looking for chef knives. There are just so many out on the market I have no idea. Shun, Kershaw, etc. I need something reasonably priced being a college student and all, great quality, will last a long time, and looks good. I would prefer a kit (I would think it to be cheaper so I wouldn't have to by all the knives separately) with a bag, not a case. The only brand I really don't like esp look wise is Carbon. Which brand should I get and why?

Nothing ceramic either I heard they chip very easily

A chef friend of mine turned me onto Global knives. I love them. They are light and balanced. The handle is one piece with the blade, which aids in the light weight and comfort and also makes them extremely easy to clean.
The link is just the first link I found. If you aren't familiar with these you should check them out.
Oh and I just realized you wanted them to look good. You'll love these, especially the handles on the shorter ones.

You should try the ceramic knives that Chef Ming Tsai uses...They are supposed to be extremely good.

Kershaw-my stepdad left me some of his knives. He had quite a collection and Kershaws were his favorite. Now they are my pick.
