i bought the little lady an 8" Victorinox/Forschner chef's knife, and she's quite fond of it. thick blade, nice edge (and retention), and it slices very well. best of all is the handle, made of some silly material that Vic calls Fibrox, but it's very grippy, even when one's hands become wet or greasy. best of all, it's dishwasher safe, which is nice for us because neither i nor my wife would remember to wash a more delicate or expensive knife by hand right away.

we also picked up a nice 3-knife set, which i'd read about on these forums, and they came highly recommended: a paring knife, utility knife and peeling/something-or-other knife also from Vic/Fors and they work excellent. my wife is especially fond of the paring knife, and uses it for all sorts of small kitchen tasks.

I use all sorts of knives in the kitchen, none of which are "kitchen" knives.

Here's a few I'm using currently:

Camillus CUDA Maxx
Puukko and Leuku Combination
Mora 2000
