Well, since I drunkenly lost my everyday knife a few days ago, I decided to buy a new one. I wanted to buy the same knife I lost, but the quality of it was just terrible. The knife I lost was a cheap POS, but it kept a good edge and was a nice size. That knife was:

The rivets came out and the magnetism kept getting lost, took some lodestoning of the big handle than held the blade in place. It wouldn't stay on the knife rack otherwise. Do not buy this knife unless you want a cheap good for a few months knife.
The new knife I ended up settling on was a Henckels.

She looks nice, has the all-black handle that I am used too. I don't like the narrow handle, but I will get used to it. I am aware that its still a cheap ass knife, but I do tend to lose shit.

Knife day?
True, a decent chefs knife can do 95% of the work in the kitchen.
Maybe not for filéing a fish, but then again what do i know...
Hokay there, fangleberry, the knife you chose is the same make as my veg knife, so it must be good.:hai: I agree with Cypher, mostly, and as soon as a new cook walks into a kitchen with a knife kit the size of a sleeping bag, I know he probably thinks he is better than he is. I have 5, in a nice little roll with a steel, a paring knife, a fillet knife, a veg knife like the one above, a scallop bladed veg knife for cutting potatoes and other things that might stick to the blade, and a big heavy french knife with a bevel blade that I use for butcher work.

I have to get one of those, the intimidation factor alone would be awesome. My kitchen is in full view of the customers, and whacking apart some ribs or a chicken with that number would make the fuckers think twice about complaining that the fucking soup isn't hot enough.
