    I looked at the Victorinox knife you mentioned and noticed that they sell a sharpener they say is easy to use and perfect for keeping their knives in good condition so if you do buy that knife get the sharpener as well. I have a Victorinox Rex Peeler which is incredibly sharp and have also used their knives at a cookery class and they are very good so I think it would be a worthwhile purchase. 
    Mercer Millenia range of knives are similar to Victorinox but half the cost.
    Not sure if there's a difference in quality.
    Considering the 8" chef's knife:

    I can't see any prices on that link.
