What is your budget? Are you able to sharpen your own knives? A best of for one of us may be different than you.
NY Times d## a review of their top picks among affordable kitchen knives which was a pretty good read if you have access. You may not have to spend big $ to get a good performer. Their picks: Mac Mighty MTH-80 and second Tojiro DP F-808.
I've been pleased with the VG 10 steels here. They sharpen easily, hold an edge well and for most intents this is a good m## tier knife in the kitchen.
