I am looking for 2 good kitchen knives One a Chef'e knife 10-12 inches and one 6-8 inches preferably in 44 steel or another good cheap steel.
 
Your steel preference got truncated down to "44", I assume that you meant some grade of 440 (440A, 440B, or 440C). Since you said cheap I'm guessing a 440A equivalent is adequate. I would look at Forschener Victorinox knives. You can get them with rosewood handles or in a commercial kitchen plastic handle model. The alloy seems a lot like 440A to me. It is a little harder than a lot of the US commercial kitchen brands. I would say around 56RC while some other commercial grade knives are 52-54.

If you can live without a point on your chef's knives I would also look at MAC Knives original series. They are a much better alloy for not a lot of money.

I also agree with the idea of getting Forschener Victorinox. I have three, the Fibrox ones, and they are comfortable and hold an edge reasonably well. They do not compare to my Wusthof Trident or Messermeister forged knives, but in this price range they are hard to beat.
