So my lady is not so gentle on her knives. I came home tonight and found our 9 year old set from Henkles thrown out because the wooden base's paint was flaking and two of the steak knives had chips. >.> <.<. The challenges of being a married man.
So now I need to purchase a new set to prevent this $35 abomination set of garbage and rubber from Ross from taking up living space in my kitchen. Whatever knives I get will most assuredly be put through the dishwasher with no care as to their placement or what kind of dishwasher detergent gets used. I'm looking to spend around $300, however I am tempted to splurge on $600 worth of Cutco simply for the fact that I've seen them take the kind of abuse the lady can throw out and seem inclined to replace damaged knives. I've seen Cutco get a lot of poor reviews on this site and am open to suggestions.
What would you get someone who you know isn't going to take care of their knives? Particularly when you are going to be forced to put up with using them too... I've tried having a his/hers set - and that just gets me damaged knives.
I've been thinking of:

Her being very dishwasher happy really makes my choices feel limited.
Does anyone have any better recommendations?
