To the first part definitely not, you get what you pay for and pretty much every cook I know jerks off to knives. A good knife has a much higher grade steel that keeps an edge for much much longer than a mediocre knife. I used a $15 knife with good results all throughout college, I just had to sharpen it frequently. But now that I have a $170 knife, that I think is the best performing knife I have ever used, I pretty much dread using anyone else's knives.
If you have money to put into a knife, do it. Cutting into a skirt steak with a nice knife is as rewarding as taking a tight turn in a sports car.
As for size, I always go smaller. A smaller chef's knife is more versatile. I find that past 7" the extra length is just in the way. Here is the knife I use. The knife you choose really has a lot to do with your style of cooking, but I personally prefer Japanese brands particularly Global because I like solid metal construction. Also the ergonomics on this knife are brilliant and the grip is very controlled in spite of not being wood.
As for bread knives, don't spend on those. They don't ever require sharpening so buying a nicer bread knife is almost purely an investment in cosmetics. Best bread knife I've ever used.
This knife would be pretty awesome, as I'm trying to rebuild my kitchen knife collection. I can't see if shipping makes it more than $15, but if so, I would love any of the knives on my kitchen stuff WL.
Something interesting about me is that once a day, at a random time, I hiccup once. I don't know why, and I am not sure when it started, but a friend pointed it out a few years ago, and since then I've noticed that it is legitimately every single day. Weird. Hahaha
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Birthday Bot!
In the short term, you'll just have to make do with what's around. Steak knives work. In the longer term, you can get a fairly nice bread knife off amazon for like $10.
Here is my fave bread knife. A modern take on that serration pattern, thing cuts like you wouldn’t believe

Wow, I had no idea Ginsu made anything but that cheap stamped stuff from the 80's.
If someone gets this set, I recommend the Pure Komachi Bread knife: http://www.amazon.com/Pure-Komachi-8-Inch-Bread-Knife/dp/B0029XBUKK/
It's only $10 and I've never sharpened it in about 6 years. Still slices through bread like nothing.
