Maybe a nice 6-7’ish Santoku for when the Gyuto is too large and the petty knife too small.
A decent paring knife.
The Wusthof I have is excellent and gets used a lot

You’re actually missing one of the holy trinity there - there’s no serrated bread knife. Per se in a kitchen I can do everything between a chef’s, a pairing and a bread knife, everything after that is optimisation. Foo is also completely pointless with bread knives. I recommend the Victorinox pastry knife with the rounded end.
If you’ve got a bread knife hiding elsewhere, a properly small pairing knife for doing work in the hand is where I’d go. I’ve got a 90mm Tokiro Flash “sheep’s foot” style one that works well - the fact that the edge is completely straight is quite handy for in the hand work I find:

There are definitely cheaper options available, if you can even find the Flash series these days as they are discontinued.

Victorinox is a really good shout.
By far my most used knife is their scalloped Santoku -
I even managed to find one with an orange handle

Ah, have a zwilling bread-er which is fine, and half an eye on a Tojiro for when it needs replacing one day
Pairing seems the right choice - can’t say I’ve ever felt I had need for one, TBH, but as someone mentioned above, there’s need and there’s NEED
You only need one paring knife

Pairing now ordered (just the one)
Dunno what’s going on with Tojiro prices over here, but the Mac Pro was cheaper than the Tojiro DP

Somebody has tried to make a pairing knife.

Save your pennies unless it’s for aesthetic reasons, there’s nothing to be gained from a fancy breadknife imho
Hopes dashed but thankfully salvaged by a newfound craving for “sheep’s foot”.

His is a very good idea.
Their santoku is quite lovely too.
Not sure if this is genuine but popped up in a search
£26 for the tojiro nakiri basic is a bargain

It seems ‘if it needs cutting JPMman makes a knife for it’. For years I’ve chopped down boxes for shipping with a trusty £4 bread knife. I expect the finesse of this blade added to customers delight… what could possibly be better …?
Voila, JPNman makes a cardboard cutting knife - the tiny serrations produce a very fine cut - The non stick coating makes going through tape or other gummed gunk a joy - Once again Japanman delivers
