As Ed says, there seems to be a trend twords the Asian style kitchen knives. I know I like them! I no longer cook as a profession, but did for some time. I like a wider blade 2.5 to 3.5 wide. I do not do a lot of heavy chopping, so I like a thinner 1/8, 3/32 spine with a flat ground blade. I like a finer edge. I understand that it is much more delicate, but with care it isnt a problem. 10 to 12 inches seems to be a good size, althought I prefer a 10 there is sometimes a need for the length.

Just my $0.02 worth.

God Bless
Mike
