Kitchen Knives

What knives are considered essential for a kitchen set?
My family has started purchasing nice knives for me as part of my Christmas each year. So far I have a 6" utility knife, 5 1/2" chef's knife and two paring knives. These things are $$$ so while I will only get one or two a year I don't want to waste a year on a knife that isn't going to see use.
TIA for any information.

8" chef's knife
Fillet knife
Other items that may be very useful if you clean/dress whole fish or poultry are a good serrated blade and a good set of shears.

Right on, I use a Chefs knife for 90% of my cutting work and a 5-6" boning knife for about everything else. Maybe its just me and what I cook but I never seem to use a paring knife..

I scored the 6" Chef, paring and carving Wusthof's for Christmas. They must be a grade above the classic since they have walnut handles. By far the best gifts I received this year and will be used often. The wifey must have a dirty little secret because I know she dropped a pretty penny on them.

Just buy it and ask no questions.
Mine is 45 years old. My mom and dad have the same knife 60+ years old.
Carbon steel. I have a thousand dollars in knives including many recommended in this thread. This is my favorite for cutting a chicken, deboning, trimming meat, whatever.

No telling how many times I've used this one in 45
years.

I fully expected to hear it when I was typing it out.
But yeah, every kitchen needs a 6" stiff, curved boner.

I absolutely love my cleaver, and use it more than most of my knives
Posted on 12/28/12 at 12:32 pm to Tommy Patel
I have mine hanging the other way. I've got the blade tip pointing to the ground.

When did the OT posters decide to invade the genteel F&D board?

Thanks for the replies so far. My kids have purchased Shun knives for me so I'll be sticking with that brand. I'm ordering a honing rod so I'll have it around when it is needed.
I know I want the carving set. I do use a carving knife several times a year. It seems from the responses that I should be looking at general all purpose knives.
Thanks again.

+1, it is nice to have a long, sharp blade for carving. It doesn't get used that often, but very useful when I need it...

Good Deal on some Shun Knives today only on Woot.
I've seen that deal pop up a time or two now. I've nearly squeezed the trigger a few times. That's $30 lower than you'll find the same set on Amazon. I just dont see the utility in that smaller serrated knife.
