I bought a set of Wusthof classics when I was ~20. 30 years later they are still used daily. I straighten them regularly, and don't abuse them. They're probably on the expensive side.

The first knife that most people recommend you buy is a Chef's knife. Most everything can be done with one.

A good budget-friendly chef's knife is the Victorinox Fibrox Pro Chef's Knife, 8-Inch at around 50 bucks (the wood handle is about 10 bucks cheaper). If I were just starting out and bought one knife, it would be this.

That's wild... We did some genealogy work in my family, and my dad's uncle was actually his brother.

Apparently my grandmother got knocked up as a young woman, and her parents raised her son as her brother. Pretty sure it's because they didn't think she'd be able to get a husband back then.

Eventually she married, and had 5 more kids.

My dad passed away young, never even knowing he had a brother. Wild stuff!
