I like Henckels International Classics. The handles are a good fit for my smaller hands, but they still have a good bit of weight to them. My Chef's Knife has a lot of heft to it and is well balanced. The handle on my Paring Knife is a bit heavier than the blade, but I prefer that. I find it easier to use that way. For anyone who doesn't have at least 1 quality knife in their kitchen, you should get one. They are much easier to work with. The first thing I ever cut with my Chef's Knife was a ham. With cheaper knives, I always had to "saw" back and forth to slice it. Not this one. I didn't have to move the knife back and forth at all .. just some downward pressure and it sliced the ham easily. At the time, I was like "whoa". :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
