First time buying a knife how did I do?

First time buying a knife how did I do?

Hey everyone,

I recently came back from a Japan trip and told myself I would buy some knives for myself and my mom. Not sure if I got taken advantage or not but picked up these two pieces while in takayama at a place called kiwami. The top knife is supposedly silver 3 and the bottom one VG-10. I’m new to knives and cook in my free time as a hobby. Paid around $125 for the vg10 and $159 for the silver 3.

If I made a poor choice what is some advice to look for when shopping for a good quality knife I can start implementing when shopping around?
