All you need is a high quality chef knife and a paring knife. That will take care of 99% of your needs. No need to get a good serrated blade since sharpening them is a pain. I've had a Mac MTH-80 and a Mac paring knife for years. They make fantastic knives. Hold an edge great and sharp as hell

I would argue for a good bread knife. If you bake bread at all, even one in moderate shape will cut a loaf better than the sharpest chef knife.

Came here to say this! I actually like my serrated tho, I have a victornox offset that I’ve had ten years and never sharpened still cuts the shit out of some crusty bread

Holy trinity of knives, chef knife 8", pairing, and bread knife! Edit: trained chef here :)
