You can't really go wrong with the Victorinox Fibrox knives. They are affordable, hold a sharp edge and are comfortable to use. For about $35, you can get their 10" bread knife on Amazon.

Hahaha. I guess I could have clarified better. This is the book
A stone or a steel are great, better than the various baguette gadgets than exist IMO. So much of breadmaking is about managing heat and the thermal mass of a stone means I don't mind leaving my oven open a bit while I rotate or spray or whatever I need to do.
I also am a weirdo that likes to stick a thermometer in my bread while it's baking, so that I can precisely control how it's baked. I use a relatively cheap grill thermometer for this (one with the wire probe and separate readout). This has made for very consistent loaves, and I've experience no noticeable negative effects (other than the occasional burn from touching the hot probe with my forearm.
A bread lame is a nice thing to have, but honestly I still just use the bare razor blades a lot because they're very convenient.
If you're into croissant making (which I highly recommend trying, it's not hard, and just takes good planning), a pizza cutter (rolling is fine, but I like the ones that are the large curved ones like this (not an affiliate link or anything). Great for getting a nice straight cut.
Cooler (like for camping) for insulation--that forms the box.
Thermostat from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000E7NYY8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Some short electrical cable, with plug, light fixture, and a 15w light bulb for heat source.
Attach the plug to the short electrical cable, and attach the cable to the light fixture, and screw in the lightbulb.
​
Use a flat extension cord to run power from the wall to the thermostat. Plug your lightbulb into the front of the thermostat, set the thermostat where you want it, put the whole thing into the cooler, and shut the top. If your basement is 62 like mine, it'll take about an hour or two to reach 76 degrees and keeps it there within one degree. Not elegant, but it works damn well!
