      I've had Henkels professional for the last couple of years but am hankering after some Japanese chef knives. I still have rather a few sabatier professional ( it's what I got duringmy chef course), the boning knife is really good.

      To be honest don't splurge unless you're a serious cook, get summat good and sharpen it every time you use it. Certain veg and fruit will blunt it really quickly. Two knives are enough.

          I've got a set of WMF knives that I picked up for cheap and are still going strong after 15 years. Just sharpen them when they get used. Saying that I've got a couple of old plastic handled Kitchen Devil knives that are even older and still take a good edge when you sharpen them.

          and a vegetable knife



          will do pretty much everything you need between them.

          In fact I use the chefs knife almost to the exclusion of anything else unless it's a fiddly job like boning a chicken or something. I actually find the larger knife easier to handle.
