When you buy a knife set, how do you know what knife is for what?

I bought a knife set in the butcher block, and I really don’t know which knife is for what. There are no instructions, and I’m clueless.

The smaller ones are probably steak knives. The big one with the pointy tip is probably for carving, the similarly big one with the blunt tip is probably a bread knife. I know what you mean though. My general plan is, if the one I pick up is cutting whatever it is I’m trying to cut, it’s good.
