What do you use? I have a mix of knives I have collected over the years, Wusthof high carbon, Henkels, Sabatier I have also been collecting antique knives when I go to estate sales but those are for display because of the high carbon steel content, I don't have any good Japanese knives yet but I'm always on the look out.

I still subscribe to the tenet that one good, decent, sharp 8" knife takes care of 90% of what one needs to
accomplish in the kitchen, and a serrated blade covers the rest.
A couple of Henkels covers us here.
A few years back had to finally retire that white handled Henkel you guys used to give me sh!t about!

We should have kicked you out of the kitchen for that. I learned to use the 8" chef at Bucca Giovani any thing longer and you risked finger damage in that small and busy kitchen. The two I use the most are the 8" and a curved boning knife I tend to shy away from serrated after filleting my finger with one, six stitches it took. I remember working in North Beach and guys would come to the back door to sell you knives at a fraction of what they cost, I guess they fell off the back of a truck or something.

yeah, my "pimp" blade!
There were plenty of more obvious reasons I should have been kicked out of kitchens!
Remember showing my brother how to slice salmon steaks with a 12", ancient, sharp as hell
curved blade, the point of which went deep into my left palm. Blood (and booze) flowing like a
MF, stating calmly, "That's how NOT to do it...", wrapped me hand in a towel and hiked the
three blocks to the ER for a couple sticthes.
Amazing I still have all my (physical) parts.
An 8" blade is perfection, over that things get... dicey.

since we bought the total set back in 1975. Nothing else needed here.
I asked the wife if she would like a set of Jap knives, she looked at me kinda puzzled and said that kitchen gamesmanship was not high on her bucket list.
It sounded better in her cracked English!
