Hi, I'm a pizza maker from Italy
I need a chefs knife 8 or 10 inches more or less. I'm right hand. my hands are quite large (that's a problem because I like use a massive pinch grip and with some knifes my knuckles touch the cutting board). I don't care the kind of the handle. I would prefer the hard stainless for don't sharp so often, but it's not very important, because it's more important for me to find a cheap knife: I can spend less than 55 dollars (shipping cost included). I want a chef knife for learn to do Rocking Motion in the right way (I fell good do that with the "fat german" geometry like dick chef 8-inches 1905 series. for example with the french sabatier I can't feel the curve of the round blade)
I chop and slice a lot of vegetables (eggplant, tomatoes, onions, peppers) and a lot of big cylinders made of thick mozzarella for pizza. Actually I use a 7-Inch zwilling santoku motion (it's not a 4 strars. check there http://www.tesco.pl/zwilling/images/knife/7f.jpg), but it doesn't work very well with this ingredients (ok, maybe it's my fault because I haven't bought yet the right tools for sharpening)
I saw some cheap knife and I would like an advice. what do you think?
