Get thee to a cooking store where you can handle the knives. Find ones
that you like in your hand. Start with:

Chef's knife - often 8", so people like a 10"
paring knife - 2-3"
steel
serrated bread knife

After those, pick the more specialized knives for what you like to do,
e.g., boning, fillet, cleaver, long slicer (maybe with a Granton edge), etc.
