I would definitely go with the larger. You can always cut a smaller thing with the larger, but there will be some time you will wish you had a larger one, if you get the smaller one.

I have a couple Ken Onion Shun's and I love them. They are extremely sharp and also love the handles. The regular Shun handles are too slippery for me.

I have a Ken Onion chef's knife, and like it very much. I also have a Shun paring knife with the same handle as the sashimi knife I'm looking at. I love that paring knife, but did pause to think if I'd also like it in a long knife.

I'm buying the 9 1/2" and we'll see...

Let us know!

I'm such an impossible shopper...

I googled the Shun knife and found it for $60 less on Amazon (yes, only $40 less when you factor in my professional WS discount, but still, substantially cheaper). So, I ordered the knife from Amazon, and began to use my credit with WS on some Alpico dinnerware to round out what I've got. I bought four more of these bowls, (the one on the bottom left) although I had to call a number of stores before I found them in stock. And, they were on sale! So with my discount, they were dang cheap, relatively speaking.

Now, I've still got $150 to use at WS. Suggestions?

Ohh, very nice bowls. Let us know how the knife is!

I thought this looked pretty cool.

Jean,

I saw that but given I've got a stereo in the room (my kitchen is part of a great room), not something I really need. Keep the good ideas coming!

Amy, I love their tablecloths, especially the Provence and Marseille. Nice big napkins, too. If you can hang them on the line, they hardly need ironing. Great for patio, porch and picnics

I was thinking it would be good for online recipe viewing more so than as a speaker. I'd probably have a movie or something playing to keep me company.
