I have an 8" chefs knife that I got from...... You know what, I don't remember where. Doesn't matter.

I want some new knives. Mainly a chefs knife, around 8" I guess? Good for slicing bigger cuts of meat and chopping veggi s like carrots, potatoes, broccoli, etc. Also a small knife that makes it easy to cut smaller cuts of meat meat. Is that a paring knife? Is there a 3 or 4" chefs knife? Also, suggestions on a sharpener? I have one of those cheapo pull through ones now. Does OK, but I'm. Sure it could be better

Can you expand a bit on the meat cutting you are describing? Also, what's your budget?

General meat cutting/trimming as well as chopping up veggies/garlic for cooking. I ended up getting 2 chefs knives and 2 thinner knives for fine meat work from Sam's Club a while after this post. They have both been working well for my use case.
