Default Good knife set

Last night while cooking dinner I realized my knives seem to be getting dull. Theyre cheap farberware knives so thats probably why. I want to get a good set to use for cooking but I dont want anything thats really expensive. Do the hyundai aftermarket chefs have any suggestions on something thats good but is cheap? Is this a good set to buy?

I have a set of KitchenAid knives from Walmart. 19 piece for about $50 if I recall correctly.

Do yourself a favor and spend a bit more. This is a good idea for a home set that will last you (more than likely) the rest of your life. They're about 3 times what you want to spend, but worth it in the long run, and still pretty cheap compared to what you could pay.

You don't need anything as nice as Shun, but companies like Wusthof and Henckels do make some basic sets. Here's a nice set for under $200:

I wouldn't buy any knives made in China or Taiwan. That pretty much rules out all of the under $100 sets at department stores like Target, Walmart, JC Penny, etc...

Also, learn how to properly use the hone and buy a decent sharpener.
