I've definitely used all sorts of knives. If you are needing to do volume, there's nothing like the $10-$20 chef knives from a restaurant supply. Bang them around, throw them in the dish washer, and you don't have to worry about having an expensive knife.

I've got a small set of Wusthof Grand Prix and a small set of Global. I like the Wusthof for the general purpose. Holds edge really nicely, really comfortably, fully forged and full tang. Not a big fan of the bolster though.

The Global is extremely sharp. I use it for more fine slice. It isn't as durable as the Wusthof, but sharper. No bolster, one piece, looks great, but a little uncomfortable to use for long durations.

Op if I may make a suggestion If you have a "Restaurant Depot" nearby call em up and use your ssi as your tax # just tell em your a caterer or something You can pick up a restaurant quality knife that is well within your budget. Not to mention having a Depot card can come in very very handy.

If you're working with it all day, be sure to find something thats comfortable in your hand. You'll get calluses soon and all will be well.
