    Most of these knives are silly, A chef’s knife will do 99% of all cutting, chopping and slicing tasks in a kitchen. I would go as far as to say that knife sets are a scam.

      You don’t do much in a kitchen, do you? Make bread slices with a bread knife is much easier than with a chef’s knife. Putting butter on a bread is much easier with a butter knife. Also you can’t accidentally cut yourself with it.

      But keep cutting your cheese with a chef’s knife. Everybody chooses their own torture.

        Not to mention some higher quality knives can break cutting some harder cheeses. Would not want that to happen.

        I don’t do much in a kitchen, if I did I’d have a chef’s knife. I’m a weirdo though, so what I do and what I know are best practices frequently don’t line up.

        To counter your examples though:

        Bread? pre-sliced.

        Cheese? pre-shredded.

        Butter? melt and pour it baby.

        So far I didn’t need a knife at all.
