I prefer the chef's knife. It feels better in my hand than anything else.

In general I find that people's preference on knives has a lot to do with just how it feels and how it moves.

My Santoku as well. Second is my bread knife, it's either a henckels or Wusthof, and I dont just use it for bread!

My favorites are my utility knives. I suppose you'd classify them as paring knives, but.... they were marked utility. 4 for $2 at dollar general. woohooo. I paid $100 for my knife set and my dollar general knives are the only ones that wont squoosh a tomato or loaf of bread. So sad....

I love my chef's knife. I have so many knives and this is about the only one I use. I guess I just wasted my money becasue half the knives I have never get used.

I just got 2 Calphalon santoku knives (5" & 7") and I don't know how I lived without them.

Also, the paring knives from Pampered Chef - they're the best $1 knives ever!
