  Bread knife would like a word. Chef knife technically works but bread knives are usually longer and work much better at cutting without smooshing.

    Sharpen your knife. If it’s not able to cut bread or tomatoes it needs sharpening.

      I can cut bread and tomatoes. A bread knife does a better job with bread.

        And a filet knife does better with fish. Not my point but that’s ok.

      Bread knives are so much nicer to cut bread with though. But yeah, a chef’s knife and a paring knife are all you “need”.

      I definitely need a bread knife to properly cut good bread, if only for the teeth. The bread I eat is more dense and has a hard crust compared to say American wonderbread. I also like to dry out some of it and then double toast slices for that extra crunchiness. No way a smooth edge can deal with that.

        I was a professional cook (up to sous chef) in fine dining for a decade. Guess I’m just an amateur yet.

    Scissors too. A good pair of kitchen scissors makes slicing small vegetables like green onions much easier.

      Holy shit I never thought about using the scissors on actual food, I’ve only ever used them to open packages containing food

        Also great for cutting a pizza.

  I’d include a santoku in there, and probably some scissors. Sometimes you just need the straight edge of a santoku, instead of the curved edge of a chef’s knife.

  Cleavers are really nice to have for chopping and transferring vegetables though.
