The Lee Valley French Peasant Chef's Knife: https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/kitchen/knives-and-cutlery/knives/kitchen-knives/52770-peasant-chefs-knife?item=45K3646

We love ours so much that we bought a second because we would steal it back and forth while prepping dinner. It is comfortable for both my smol ladyhands and my husband's meatmitts simultaneously which is rare in a tool! Takes a good edge and sharpens easily. I recommend picking up a set of King waterstones at the same time.

The only other knife we really use near daily is a breadknife. Rather than a set, we just have a universal knifeblock with the two identical chef knives, a breadknife, a cleaver (we only really use this for butchery - it makes certain disassembly tasks easier....and does an oddly satisfying job cutting pizzas), and our steakknives.
