There are multiple types of Knives including Chef Knife, Utility Knife, Paring Knives etc. But if you are looking to cut the cooked steak dishes even chicken then my recommendation is to use steak knife. I purchased a Steak Knife from Amushome that is UK Based Company for providing a Best Steak Knifes and I have a positive review for them.

I don't ger why people hone knives themselves I mean why are there who do it professionally. There are knife manufacturer for this and people really shouldn't be doing it personally. But I guess its more of a habit.
