Thank you everyone for all thoughtful and useful advice.
I even learned that a kiwi knife is a Brand lol !
I love my new Mercer 8 inch Chef’s knife and even though I already stabbed myself because I’m use to using my Santoku knife which also happens to be a little shorter.
I like that it is light weight and also like the feel in my hands totally agree that your hands must be completely dry or the grip slips.
P.S.
For me, the deal was too good to pass up at 70% off a Genesis that way it’s not a regretful purchase.
I will report back once I’ve had more time to spend with it.
P.P.S.
When Jacques Pepin was asked which knife he uses his response was “the sharp one”.
Gordon Ramsay prefers Wüsthof and other Chef’s probably have their favourite.
Wonder what @JustCharlie would recommend?
