There is one knife I find absolutely essential that is missing:
Bec Oiseau. Sometimes also known as a sheep’s foot knife.
It’s a paring knife, but one where the blade is absolutely straight and it’s the spine that curves over near the tip. It works far better than any curved paring knife at cutting apart small items in the hand, like fruits.

Bec oiseau (bird’s beak) knifes have a curved blade…

Not all of them. Sabatier (with the elephant mark) made a Bec Oiseau with a straight blade. It was marketed with that knife-type name in Canada, specifically through Lee Valley, for a good two-plus decades.
