Eight-Inch French Knife
The French knife is going to be your workhorse, so consider quality above everything else when picking one. You can use this knife for your vegetable cutting and every other task you need it for in the kitchen.
Serrated Knife
A serrated knife is great for cutting bread and peeling fruits. Its jagged edge can grip and penetrate exteriors with ease, making it an ideal choice for cutting cake layers as well.
Eight-Inch Slicer
An eight-inch slicer is great to have for carving your turkeys, and other roasted meats. It’s equally amazing at creating fine slices in vegetables and filleting a fish.
Seven-Inch Boning Knife
A boning knife is great to have for just deboning a chicken and other utilitarian needs. It gives you the flexibility to not just separate meat from bone but also slice through joints and cartilage.
Paring Knife
Good for delicate tasks, a paring knife comes in handy when coring tomatoes, peeling onions or trimming vegetables.
