How good is good? Do you want the best or are you happy with good enough?
Japanese knives are amazing, but you'll pay for that quality. Similar to McClaren, Ferrari, etc.
German knives, such as Wustof and Henkel are very good and offer a variety of quality. Those are the Porsches and BMWs.
If you're happy with Honda and Toyota, get a Victornox chef's knife. It is about $40 and is actually really good. It has consistently won the knife tests at America's Test Kitchen. That is my everyday knife. I save my good knives for other days.
