Probably just my chef knife. But that's an obvious and boring answer.
My choice would be my hand blender. I use it for making any dips, many sauces (it is made out of metal) and it also got a blender attachment for shredding vegetables. One of the best investments I made for my kitchen.
Yeah, I love my chef's knife too. I recently received a hand blender secondhand but I am yet to use it!
I second the hand blender. It's just so versatile. I'll add soups and mayo to your list too.
Chef's knife is definitely not boring and may not be as obvious as you think. I come from a family that has only ever used cheap paring knives for everything that have never even been in the same room as a sharpener. Meanwhile, I haven't made a single dish without my Henckels since I bought it 5 years ago. My GIR silicone turner is a close second
Maybe obvious to some of us, but I see so many people that just won't use a chef's knife or something similar because they never learned how. Or, in the case of my own parents, for some reason they just... didn't have one?
It really makes a lot of prep work so much easier. Definitely one of the first rolls I'd recommend for any new kitchen (Along with a sharpening stone and training lol!)
