Get one big chef's knife. It doesn't have to cost much, just be comfortable in your hand.

Between these 2 pieces of advice, lean toward the latter. Most people use knives that are too small - even for "little" jobs, bigger knives usually work better. For example, for chopping garlic, it would seem you want a little 5" knife. Garlic is small, right? But a 10" knife is a lot easier to manage.
