quick question... although I know there will be every knife known to man mentioned now, what is the one knife you cannot live without? the reason i ask is because I need a new set. my Kitchen Aid set that we got a few years ago is starting to look pretty rough. i can sharpen them, hone them, etc, no problem. the issue is that i have to do it almost every time I go to cut anything. doesn't matter what I do/say, they get dinged up, dulled, etc. since I know this, I would like to get a set, and only allow myself to touch them... no dishwasher, no "utility" uses, etc. treat them the RIGHT way.
the major issue is as much as i'd like to go drop a grand on a nice set, it ain't happenin'. the first use they would get would be to butcher my ass by my wife, then they'd get thrown in the dishwasher. lol.
so, i simply ask, if you had one knife that would be a good all-purpose blade, what would it be? I am looking for names people! lol. my biggest thing is sharpness and longevity of the blade. second is versatility. third is comfort. I have never come up against a knife, or any other tool for that matter that I havn't been able to get a feel for pretty quick... "get a good tool and learn to work with it". granted, a good tool should work with YOU, but i'm not as picky as some people. lol
my number one use for this knife will be for slicing and dicing after the meat is cooked. i have found that my hunting knife works best for cleaning and prep'ing so far. maybe a 8" or 10" chef's knife? I am honestly at a loss here.
we have a couple good stores around here for professional cooking supplies. I plan on going around to them after the holidays to see what they have. talk with them, see what they can get in, recommend, etc.
thanks for the input guys! pics are always nice too.

Andy
