Was looking for a few knives a couple years ago, a chef's knife at least, and the reviews for good cheap ones kept pointing to an 8 inch Victorinox. I use one of their swiss army knives for pretty much everything, figured they had the whole knife thing down pretty well, so gave it a shot. First non-serrated edge knife I really ever used in the kitchen, but I use it for everything now that isn't bread. Like in everything else, the better tool always makes the job easier. 20-30 bucks.

I actually have a knife service, I bring my knifes in to a shop every 2 weeks and they give me a sharp set and then 2 weeks after i do the same and get the other set back sharpened, and I just keep rotating the two sets, costs me 15.00 a month, best money I spend monthly
