I am extremely partial to Forscshner knives, too. They just seem to fit
my hand and their "heft" is perfect for me. That said, I think each cook
needs to feel a knife to make sure it fits their hand and is comfortable
for their personal use. There are some great knives out there that I
won't use because they aren't comfortable. I have small hands.

BTW, I usually purchase my Forschner knives at Cutlery and More

http://www.cutleryandmore.com/

I have never had a problem with them and they usually throw some neat
freebee in with my order.

I have my eye on the Fibrox 12" slicer which was rated the best by ATK
