Basic knife skills is something I'm often almost shocked by. I had a housemate last year who'd bought herself a decent Sabatier chef's knife (like this) but the way she cut veg, she may as well have been using a sharpened bit of moss. All the gear and no idea. Thankfully she forgot to take it with her or something when she moved out so it's my knife now.
I would also add knowing how to sharpen a knife on a stone and never using the knife-blunteners that come prebuilt into knife blocks these days.
