One good chef knife
If you only buy one blade, make it the 8-inch chef knife. It handles onions, herbs, chicken and potatoes without asking for a second tool.

Buy the knife you will actually use.
Most kitchens need a chef knife, a paring knife and a board. A set makes sense if you are starting from nothing or replacing a drawer of blades that no longer hold an edge.
A set, if the drawer is a mess
The 14-piece set covers the standard rotation and gives every knife a slot. It is the set most people settle on after comparing three.
