Look at Victorinox by Forschner, model 40811. Good size handle. I believe this is a favorite of Americas Best Kitchens; and ours as well. We bought ours from Cutlery and More.com.

I agree with the 8" chef's or Sankotu. Most people don't give much thought to the handle. Try to get a solid handle and stay away from ones with rivets. The holes in the handles are nothing but breeding ground for bacteria.

Wustof Classic Trident. Any size or type you like. I got my first in Germany about 25 years ago and am still using it. Added others and now have 2 sets, one for the RV and one for the house.

For me it would be a chefs knife and a boning knife.

I'll second the vote for Victorinox by Forschner. I have these knives at home and a second set in the camper.
8" chiefs knife #40520
7" santoku # 41529
8" cimetar breaking butcher knife #40537
(I LOVE this knife and have been using the same knife for just about 30 years.)
If you can find the little birds beak paring knife pick up 4 or 5 .... they are wonderful!
I have bought (on line) from the same man for several years and if you are interested in his contact information just send me a PM.
I also have cutco knives (a drawer full) but find I only use the bread knife out of that set.

Check out your local restaurant supply company, not the ones that sell food items but instead sell the equipment. I've got a bazallion knives but these have been the best, and are by far less expensive than "name" brands.

When I graduated from culinary school my sister gave me a chinese cleaver, I use that most often at home. In the trailer I use an 8" chefs knife. Both are 30 years old.

40 year old wood handle 7" chefs knife, and a couple Mundial 7.5" Chef's as they are the closest I could find to the wood handled favorite. I do like my Kuhn paring knife when doing a lot of apples or potatoes. I found the Mundial knives at Tuesday Morning for a good price. Mundial has always been my favorite scissor brand, and the knives seem good as well.

Two different "foodie" magazine tests tout the Victorinox Fibrox 8" Chef's knife for $23 and Chef Cutlery Legend Santoku for $30
