Hard questions to answer, as like a razor, it all comes down to personal choice. I would in reality, just get one paring knife with a 10cm blade in a shape best described here, as a smile. Brand would be a personal choice. I prefer a sheffield made blade myself. Actually, I would more than likely just make my own using RWL 34 S/Steel and some nice Australian Western Myall timber. Again it's personal choice.
