Worse case I'll leave it in the package until I find a long term solution.

I keep the boning knives at the restaurant. Probably have six or seven of them. But at home, no real need for one most of the time. This bread knife is fantastic for a lot more than bread. Like slicing ribs, brisket, roasts, etc.

I buy the Sam's club bakers choice brand. They have 2 pack of santoku for around $16, 2 pack w/8" and 10" chef for about the same price. And 2 pack of boning knives. Hit them on a steel before you use them and they cut very well.

I want to get a magnetic holder but were renting where we're at and the people who own the home don't want holes in the walls of the kitchen.

This is gonna sound crazy, but... The white handle knives they sell at Sam's Club are actually pretty terrific. They are inexpensive and the steel is pretty good. I have purchased the chef's knives, the double pack of Santuko knives, and the paring knives. I did buy a good quality steel at a restaurant supply company, and give any of my knives a couple of licks each time before I use them. I have used those knives for quite a few years and still love them. I recently took a tip to Puerto Rico and rented a small condo for a week, and was dismayed to discover they had nothing but a couple of cheap steak knives to cook with. I actually found a Sam's Club out there, and purchased a set of the Santuko knives there to use. Left one behind for the next user and took the other one home for a spare.

Simply Victorinox. I have had mine for a year, it is in need of a real sharpening I have used my 10" chefs for breaking down spares, slicing, chopping, mincing, basically everything except opening cans I have some junk ones for that I also have a bread knife because my chefs knife can not do crusty home made bread.
The blade is thin and it will slice you bad if you do not handle it respectfully. Not as thin as Shun not as heavy as Wusthof so it is a balance. It is a great all around knife. Plus the knife is less than 35$. It is worth every penny and if you drop it, it gets stolen or you use it as a pry bar, you won't cry like you broke a Shun or gets stolen like a Wusthof. I also have a Chinese Henkles set of utility knifes (didn't have to pay shipping.) like 4 of em for 15$ and they are great knifes. My bread knife was bought at GFS for like 15-16$ (worth every penny). Honestly I like Victorinox and consider them the very best value to quality ratio you can buy. You can buy better knifes, you can always buy better, but price to quality nothing in this world is close.

Well, here's an update. I had ordered the 10" Victorniox chefs knife from DVOR along with a 3 piece set consisting of 2 pairing knives and a utility knife. They were all listed as shipping in 1-2 days. This past Thursday a box came in and I eagerly expected my knives. I opened it up to find just the 3-piece set. WTF?
So, I leave the next day for drill and get back Sunday night. No word from DVOR about the knife. I get on to check my account the next day and it shows it still hasn't shipped. At this point I decide to cut my losses and cancel the order so first thing yesterday I did just that. Now what to do. I finally decide to just go with what I want and get a Henckels. I head over go Bed Bath and Beyond and pick up J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star ii 8" Chefs Knife. Worked out well for me since I used a 20% off coupon and they had a deal for a free small cutting board and trivet.

I meant the victorinox chef, but if you are happy with the henckels, that's all that matters.
