How broke are you? You can get these two knives made by Victorinox or Mercer, very inexpensively. MY mom wanted a new chef knife, but we've been cutting back our spending on gifts in our family. I gave her this one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6ZS8FH?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0&th=1 It was a lot less expensive than that four years ago. :/ Here's another one I bought a while back.
