• A chef's knife is a must-have. This knife is mid-sized with a blade of 7 or 9 inches and nicely balanced handle to make multiple daily uses as comfortable and simple as possible. This knife gets a lot of use, so it's worth it to get a Messermeister.
• For a variant on the basic chef's knife, look into a santoku. This knife features a sheep's foot tip instead of a spear tip, so that you can chop with finesse.
• A bread knife rounds out any collection, so that you can make sandwiches that have them wishing for more or slice off some fresh bread for French toast. You can also use a serrated blade for tomatoes and tough rinds, like watermelon.
• For holidays, special occasions or a Sunday roast, consider a 2-piece set that includes a carving knife and fork.
