Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm looking for a new chef's knife. What are some essential knives I should have in my kitchen?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A chef's knife is a great start. You'll also want a paring knife for small tasks and a serrated knife for cutting through tough foods like bread.<|im_end|>

That sounds good. What's the difference between a chef's knife and a paring knife?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
A chef's knife is typically larger, around 8 inches, and used for chopping and slicing larger ingredients. A paring knife is smaller, around 3-4 inches, and used for peeling and coring fruits and vegetables.<|im_end|>

Okay, got it. Where should I store my new knives to keep them sharp?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Store your knives in a dry place, like a knife block or on a magnetic strip. Avoid storing them in a drawer where they can get damaged or dull.<|im_end|>
