So if things, if there's a coating on here that can flick off, you don't wanna be eating that. So getting something that has a stainless steel surface is one thing.

You can get a chef's knife for like $20, but you definitely want a chef knife, a hairy knife, and a serrated knife. 'cause those are really, um, important. Um, and you can do most everything in the kitchen with just those three types of knives.
