How much do you want to spend? Knives, in my view, are the most important tool in the kitchen, and don't let anyone tell you different. Mrs. dL was all set to divorce me when I bought a $500 set of
Wusthof Grand Prix knives, but then she used them (no, not on me, Bobbitt stylie).
These knives, if kept sharp, will last a lifetime.
eta: Don't feel compelled to buy a 10-piece set or similar. I find that a 8" chef's, a 4" pairing, a 10" santoku, and a 6" utility are really all you will need. A serrated bread knife is a nice touch as well. We have a magnetic strip built into our kirchen wall, which saves space (no need for a block). Most important, buy her a steel and make sure that she learns how to use it.
