Different strokes. I use my 8 inch chef's knife for practically
everything.

I disagree. Most people only need one knife of
each type. For me, 95% of knife work uses a
paring knife, a boning knife, a large (12"?)
chef's knife and a small (8"?) chef's knife.
Oh, I forgot the bread knife.

I suppose in your house everyone shares one steak knife, or does your
mommy cut up your steak ?
