This is what I use with a magnetic knife holder. They are ersatz steak knives and what I use for all kitchen tasks. I got a 6 pack.
The only other knife I have is a big chef's knife by Victorinox Forschner that has been in the family for ~75 years. We also have one Kmart bread knife that is used once every year or so.
The BuyItForLife hive mind is sets of knives is super dumb. Buy individuals and use a magnetic holder for storage. If you aren't Sharpening Bob....look on faceplace or google and you can find someone local who will do knives for $1/inch...there's a local to me that has a 1 day turn around and uses the Wicked Edge system and returns lasers back to me....even my lawn mower blade drew blood.
$100 - Wusthof 8" Chefs Knife
$40 - J.A. Henckels 8" Chefs Knife
$35 - Victorinox Fibrox (If you want the Victorinox but don't like the handle, get the rosewood version for a couple bucks more)
Then get their corresponding utility/paring knives for smaller/finer work. Personally, I went with the Henckels I listed mainly for aesthetics and value and got a Tojiro DP Petty Knife, mainly because I'm used to heavy western chef knives but I also wanted to try out a Japanese style kitchen knife. Learn to handle a knife properly, get a good cutting board (end-grain wood boards ideally), and they should last you for life.
well you could just Amazon a Tojiro instead if thats better.
Probably get one of these
