Isn't a chef's/gyuto knife, a paring and a bread knife the recommended first three knife purchases? If so I'd think that would sell. Dave, what profiles are your biggest sellers? Are the basic profiles popular or do you sell more of the specialty-type knives?
I've used a lot of bread knives over the years and this style: https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Serrated-Fibrox-Handle/dp/B00093090Y?ref_=ast_sto_dp is by far my fav. The length and the curve is what does it for me. IMO.
So if you keep the length and the curve, and then make the rest of the blade profile and the handle your own you might have something. Just my two cents.
