If you don't do a lot of cutting prep regularly, or don't want to spend the money for something like this, the Victorinox line of knives are very affordable and well regarded.
If you do decide you want to get into something more like these, the Chef's knife and Paring knife are usually used the most in food prep, so those are often the two that folks are willing to spend more on to get good utility out of their purchase.
What's also great about Shun is the lifetime free sharpening. I haven't used it yet, I use a whetstone every 6-9 months if needed, but it's good to know I can get a factory perfect finish at any time (only pay shipping costs). If you're on the fence, then go to a Williams Sonoma and try out the knife. Once you try it, you'll probably love it.
If you're on a budget, then just go with Mercer Genesis or Renaissance series.

If it's possible for you, you get something on sale or even some Kanehides or whatever steel/style you like. Wash & dry them, roll them in a knife roll and take them with you/hide them when you're not using them.

I'm in the knife business and I don't think I've ever come across a set of Shun knives that weren't damaged.
Brands is no matter, good material and quality is matter for me.
Shun Classic gets chip easily, and Shun Kaji is no where at Williams Sonoma.
love tojiro- the fit can be a lil spotty on them as they're as barebones as a decent japanese knife can get, but you can just sand whatever bit is off flush if there's any issues.

You could get a nakiri, plenty of lots of options other then shun also. (kanhide, tojiro, Tsunehisa, and there is even one on woot right now) I love mine, it's fun to use. My favorite and most used knives are my nakiri and a petty.
I might pick up a clever in the future for bigger veggies. (squash, etc)
Some prefer a santoku, or gyuto (with a good profile) Lots of good brand options there also for as good, or better price/value.
