A good chef knife
Also makes and excellent chrismas/birthday present
What makes a good chef knife good? What to look for and to avoid?
If you don't know, find the closest restaurant supply or head to amazon and just buy the Victorinox standard that is in basically every commercial kitchen everywhere. It's probably about $20-30 and will hold up nicely. Outside of that, I found a well reviewed amazon thing for around $35-40 probably about 5 years ago, and it's been great.
I'm going to add a little and say that almost every kitchen should have a honing steel and a basic set of sharpening stones. No knife is going to stay sharp forever.
If I had kitchen that didn't have these things, that is how I'd spend my $100.
