Get this set. It will handle all the basics and fancy cooking too.

The 8" chef is the go-to knife. The serrated utility handles tender tomatoes and sub sandwich and the paring knife will clean a strawberry and peel an apple with ease.

And they come with the quality of the Pro line. The steel will hold up for a lifetime. The innovative angled bolster is easy to grip, keeping the thumb and forefinger in the correct position for maximum control. 

Can't go wrong with these knives.
