Thought I'd try get some recommendations for my first chef knife. I'm moving out of my parents house, so I'll be losing access to their collection. I'd like to get a good quality chef knife to start off before adding in different types of knives.  

  

I don't have a great deal of specifications in mind, but i'd love to preview some good recommendations which fit the broad criteria that i've provided.  

  

Thanks in advance!
