Chinese cleaver (\$15)\

\
Victorinox Fibrox Pro Knife, 8-Inch Chef\'s FFP, 8 Inch, Black (\$45)\

\
Victorinox Swiss Army Cutlery Fibrox Pro Boning Knife, Flexible Blade, 6-Inch (\$35)\

\
The Chinese cleaver sees a lot of use for cutting veggies, since I can scoop up the cut veggies with the blade and transfer them to a pan or bowl.\
\
The chef\'s knife is a great general purpose knife, good for cutting everything from veggies to steak.\
\
The boning knife is good for breaking down a whole chicken or turkey.\
\
I like the fact that all of them are inexpensive, so if I lose one or a guest damages one, no big deal. The Victorinox blades can also be sterilized. All of the above blades are commonplace in commercial kitchens.\
\
My next knife will likely be this Mercer Culinary 7 inch Nakiri knife(\$15) :\
