A food processor is a better option, but still won't give you consistency. This is what they're after... https://www.webstaurantstore.com/50129/dicers.html

Reply to comment by ConfusedNegi in Best set of chef knives ? by MatineHen
Near Tualatin is Carter knives (Hillsboro, iirc). Handmade right there. Shuns can be had anywhere and sharpened anywhere for $5 or less (if unable to at home). I'm a professional chef, and I stay away from VG10 steel. I've had microchips in my Shuns, and I've seen many coworkers' be "tipped" easily. They were popular in upscale kitchens 10-15 years ago, but that was before specialty kitchen knife shops started opening in the states. Shun's heat treat is brittle. My favorite right now for everyday use is my Ashi Ginga 240mm gyuto. Check out Portland Knife House to see the whole world of kitchen knives.

Others have said All-Clad. They're having a sale on factory 2nds and damaged packaging for the next 2 days... https://homeandcooksales.com/ Edit: the 5 piece D3 set is a great start. Tramontina is great for the money.

I don't like shopping, so I'd rather do it once. And wasting stuff bugs me.

Weston Pro. I've used them in a commercial environment, and they're built better than Food Saver.

The answer is always restaurant supply stores, although your budget may not get bifl.

Matching leather is nice. Not from the US, but Canada, Popov Leather makes belts with Horween Chromexel, which many shoes use. I have one and like it a lot. https://www.popovleather.com/collections/leather-belts

For watches, Hamilton and Tissot. At times they go on deep discount, more than I've seen elsewhere. I picked up a Gevril watch for ~$200, which I really like. It sells elsewhere for $1,200.

Kuhn Rikon peelers are where it's at. Ambidextrous. I'm speaking from 20 years of professional kitchen experience, and I'm a lefty. Edit: not BIFL, you can't sharpen them, but they're ~$3.

Reply to Recommendation for BIFL chef's knife? by notproudortired
I'm a professional chef, and this is my favorite of the ~30 chef knives I've used. I have "better" carbon steel knives, but this is the trusty, durable go-to. It's sold out and has been for a while, but there are similar knives (240mm, ginsan/ginsanko/silver 3 stainless steel, the handle type doesn't matter).
