What are the best kitchen knives for meat cutting?
My hubby loves to cook and all of our knives are dull and he fusses all the time about them. Since he has a birthday coming up, please tell me the best knives to use in the kitchen for meat cutting, vegtable & fruit cutting.
How many knives do you want to buy and what's the budget?
Anyway, chef's knife is the most universal from western knives and it's ok for meat and veggies. Length depends on your husband's preferences. You can peel fruits with it too, but not too convenient.
If you are planing on more than one then:
For meat specifically - Boning knives are used to work with meat that has bones. Ribs, chicken, etc. like this - http://www.zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/global/glogf31.shtml
Global, Wusthof, Henckel they're all ok for this, since this knife is meant to work in contact with the bone, you don't have to worry about too delicate edges.
For soft meat, slicers are used, you can use typical slicer or yanagi:

Yanagi - http://www.zknives.com/knives/knimgtmpl.shtml?/images/knives/kitchen/aritsugu/artsgaokoyng07.jpg
Mac cutlery makes good slicers for example. So does Shun, but can get pricey.
For vegetables and general kitchen cutting Chef's knives (Japanese Gyuto) are the best, here are reviews of several of them - http://www.zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/indexbyst.shtml?Gyuto
For fruits and small items ideally you need a 3-4" paring (also referred as fruit) knife, several of them are reviewed here - http://www.zknives.com/knives/kitchen/ktknv/indexbyst.shtml?Paring
Considering what you said, i.e. your husband complains about dull knives, obviously he doesn't sharpen them. Unless he starts sharpening knives, doesn't matter how good of a knife yo buy, it will get dull in a month or a few, depends on the use.
So, if that's the case I wouldn't advice buying very expensive pieces, anyway that's very personal, so it's up to you.
