There are many ways to work around not having a knife. I have lots of suggestions if you can’t get one.
But a general purpose chefs knife is the best one to get if you can. It does almost everything with one item from slicing and dicing to crushing fresh garlic.
A serrated knife is also good for slicing delicate things without flattening them, like soft cake or a tomato. Bread knife, steak knife, I’m not too educated but I use whatever works.
A paring knife is less essential if you have a peeler but can still be useful for cutting up fruit or cheese.
Try and get a knife block too. Maybe a steel. I threw my knives carelessly into a drawer and now they’re blunt af…
Only kmart for now. One day (again when the budget allows), I’ll get some of those higher end knives. Probably good to start with cheapies while I’m still getting my head around the whole cooking thing anyways!
House is always having a sale when the budget can stretch more. I have some of their Baccarat knives and they feel like they’re worth the original price, not the markdown

Yeah mine are Colesworth or Daiso. IKEA also look to have ok options.
I’ve still never been to Daiso, at least I don’t think so
E: saw your edits in your first comment, thanks for the info and help! I’m still figuring it all out haha
I’m thoroughly enjoying watching you blossom into a grown up. You’re doing great
