for slicing, chopping at home maybe 165mm Bunka is perfect. good knuckle clearance for chopping.
for 150mm petty/ Utility knife, Takamura Migaki SG2 Utility knife (Thin blade) around $130. Good recommendation by @M1k3 there. If you can find any knife store near you, I recommend you come and take a look yourself. You will be able to hold the knife and feel it.
