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.

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.

A butter knife could cut them all too.

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.

Well good for you, i guess you cooking anecdotally in fine dining invalidates my experience entirely. All of a sudden the bread parts itself on my chef knife like the red sea for moses.
