Knives are very personal and we all have our perferences; some light, some heavier, some longer and some shorter.  I personally like an 8" chef but my mom and sister both prefer a 6".  They said the longer blade was uncomfortable and felt they had better control over this one.  Keep that in mind if you're buying for a family member or friend.

Of course, Pro S is an awesome line of knives forged from high carbon German steel and made in Germany. Guaranteed to last a lifetime.
