Fallkniven make some good knives. The A1 and F1 are their most popular models, the A1 being a bigger knife. They both use laminated VG10 steel, which means that a super hard steel (good edge retention) is sandwiched between two softer steels for extra strength and flexibility. They come with a convex edge which offers good cutting abilities as well as a strong edge, but isn't sharpened the traditional way, you need to strop it (youtube is your friend).
