Sharpener is https://www.onbuy.com/gb/pro-sharp-twist-n-sharp-black~c13443~p13072392/
Definitely going to get Santoku plus assorted knives as you suggest. Good news is I’m left handed so going to be a £££ option as a treat.

Don’t use that sharpener on any good knives.
Also, I’m left handed too, left handed knives are not worth it. Some single bevel or uneven bevel knifes exist, but unlikely to be knives for general use.
Also that sharpener will completely ruin any knives that are good enough to have a left hand specific bevel.

What sharpener do you have?
Blade angles are different depending on different types.
If I was doing things again, I'd go for a santoku (or chinese cleaver if you get on with them), a good bread knife and a petty knife.
And a 3 pack of Victorinox paring knives for £15.
