I might buy this one and see how it goes as it's not a whole lot of
money and is longer than my 8" workhorse.


I figure I can always use an extra inch!

Since you are looking to change knives, have you thought about trying a
santoku? I bought two and my wife won't use anything else now. Ours are
both Furi.
