1. Which is the most popular knife(among chef's) and why?

2. What are the 5 most common knives?

I was thinking of Chef's knife for the first one(because of the name ) but I need a confirmed answer.

Help is gladly appreciated .
1. There is no universal answer, it's very personal to the individual.
I recall one Chef's favorite knife was "the pink one from Target that no one else will touch".

2. Again, goes more towards the indiviual and what they do.
For me, it's a chefs/cooks knife, 8"-10" depending on what I'm doing, a nice reverse serrated, a paring knife, a flexible filet or boning knife, and a scimitar.
My current favorite is a 9" F. Dick.
Everyone needs a 9" dick.
