We bought a set of Mundial knives not too long ago. They are working very well. They are sharp and feel good to use - I would recommend them.
My wife and I enjoy home cooking and after watching an episode of Good Eats about knives, this is the set we decided on - relativly cheap, made from the right kind of steel and featuring the selection of various knife-types we were likely to use.

I can't comment much on longevity since we only had them for 6 months - but they feel as sharp now as when we got them.
