When you consider purchasing quality knives, which two would you start with if you had a limited budget?

Answer by  koolmom (291)

I would choose a chef's knife and a pairing knife. These two knives can perform all cutting tasks in the kitchen. I would buy the best knives I could afford. I would look for knives with stainless steel blades and three tangs in the handles.

Two practical knives to have would be a carving knife and a paring knife for chopping vegetables and cutting meats.

The two most basic knives every cook needs are the paring knife and the chef's knife. Those would be the two to purchase if you cannot afford a whole set.
