The right tool for the right job

It is really amazing how easier life is when you have the right "tools" for the job.  We lived in HK for 2 year, and I had 2 knives that I used to cook with.  Here, I have about 6 to choose from, depending on what I'm cutting up.  Today, I was making garlic bread, and wouldn't you know it, cutting bread with a serrated bread knife makes it much easier!   But with so many choices, do you really NEED 6 different knives at your disposal when you cook? I guess I really know the answer ...
