My two favorites are my Wusthof Classic 8" chef and 6" santoku. I use those two the most, but I also have a Wusthof paring knife that see's a lot of use. My only advice is don't buy a "set". Purchase quality knives that feel good to you.

I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.
