If you cook and don't have a good knife, get a Victorinox Fibrox chef knife, preferably 7"ish, and an inexpensive whetstone. I use the back of a coarse leveling whetstone and a 1000/3000 grit combo whetstone. Neither should be above $20ish on Amazon. Use the knife especially to prepare vegetables and mince garlic and ginger.

A standard chef's knife is 8" and I think the fibrox only comes in 8" and 10"

There's the 6" which is also very good and not expensive at all. I'd get the 8" over the 10" as a shorter blade means you have to do less sharpening.
