Best multipurpose knife?

Get an 8 inch Forschner Chef Knife.

I like the wood handle ones but plastic is ok too.

They last a lifetime and the knife used most in a kitchen is the Chef Knife. 8 inch the most common size

>don't have space for a knife block
I've lived in some small ass apartments, but damn dude, that's a closet.

Either way, go for a chef's knife of some sort.

I use an 8 inch chefs knife for 90% of things. It's also nice to have a paring knife sometimes and a victorinox/forschner one is like $5

Those little paring knifes they sell for 5 bucks are awesome, I have a bunch of them both Straight edge and some wavy edge for tomato also.

Ive had mine for many years.

Get one from a blacksmith, better than cast steel that's for sure.

A big serrated knife is only good for one job, cutting bread for making sandwiches.

A chef knife sucks for that but can do most other jobs.

The only other job a chef knife sucks at is slicing a big roast or boning out small birds.

You can skin salmon with one, but it wont be good to fillet small fish.

A chefs knife is pretty much your generic cooking knife. Everything else is specialized for different uses, but you can use a chefs knife for most stuff.

Only other two knives you may want to get are a paring knife (for small stuff) and a serrated knife (dunno what people use these for besides bread, but cutting bread with anything else is hard).

On a budget?
Get a Mora Clipper. There isn't a SINGLE kitchen task it cannot perform.

>>7137567

A mora is a good knife for bushcraft, skinning deer and camp tasks.

But has practical purpose in a kitchen.

Working with it would only slow you down.

You would get alot more done alot faster with a Chef Knife.

The Chef knife gets its speed from the rocking motion, which you wont be able to do right with the mora.

I have to of them, in my camping gear.

You can do almost any kitchen task with any blade, but not necessarily well or easily.

Those are great knives to take camping, but I wouldn't want to dice up a stalk of celery with one..

You are telling the truth, but you are drunk.

Right?

Cheapest chef's knife you can find. Cheap knifes are a bit shit, but as a student odds are you're in shared accommodation and someone else is going to fuck up anything remotely expensive you buy.

Ok so I think I'm going to go for a chef's knife because that is what most people are suggesting

Which one should I go for? Is it worth investing in a good one or should I just go for the cheapest? I don't want something completely ineffective, as I might be cooking quite a lot.

8 inch is the best size, you want one with a wide blade and made of good metal at a fair price.

This is the one i have owned for over 20 years.
