Professional kitchen cutlery will have a Full Tang:

A tang is the metal part of the knife that extends from the blade and goes into the handle. A full tang means that the metal goes all the way through the handle. The metal should be able to be seen as a continuous line through the surface of the handle of the knife.

Professional kitchen cutlery will have Metal Rivets:

The best will have three metal rivets throughout the handle of the knife. This helps to hold the blade in place. The fewer rivets, the looser the blade.

Professional kitchen cutlery Handle Material:

Handle material really does make a difference. Wooden handles easily collect things in the spaces like loose food particles, dust, and splinters from the kitchen. Plastic handles are ok, but they tend to break. A higher quality plastic is sometimes available. The problem people have with plastic handles is that they get slippery when they are wet. Some of the better knife handles are made out of the same material as the inside of a dishwasher.

Professional kitchen cutlery Blades:

First, know that the blade is not just the cutting surface but the whole part outside of the handle.
Straight edges blades are just that, completely straight. There are no teeth in them, even if the knife is in the shape of a curve. If knives lose their sharpness quickly, they are not high quality.

Serrated edges have the teeth. These blades are nice for a sawing type of action. However, they cannot be sharpened due to the fact that they have those teeth.
