Start with one great knife.
Most cooks reach for two or three knives and leave the rest in the block. A santoku or chef knife is the right first blade for most kitchens; add a paring knife later.
The pros love our knives too

Chefs who use Santoku knives
Keep the edge for life.
A whetstone is the only proper way to sharpen hard Japanese steel. Two double-sided stones take you from repair to mirror polish.
