    I use most all my knives, but do find a serrated bread
    knife does a wonderful job of slicing tomatoes. It
    goes through the skin like a hot knife through butter.
    The good old stand by chefs knife gets a good workout
    as well on preparing meats to be cooked. The slicing
    knife jumps in does its' duty slicing cooked meats.

    Serrated is great for those uses. I also have a ceramic paring knife.
    It is incredibly sharp and has been for about 10 years. For cutting
    smaller stuff, it is fantastic.

    I imagine most of us already have a favorite for some uses.

    In addition to the knives you mention, I find my little, curved, 'bird
    s beak' paring knife very useful.
