I have a 12" Victorinox that I like. It's easy to hone back into shape and is well balanced. They make the same model in 14".

I have 2 of these, one with a wood handle and the other with the plastic handle exactly like the one above, really like them...

Another fan of Victorinox, They make really nice knives for the money.

After pulling out a measuring tape, I think a 12" cimeter will suffice. Thanks for the suggestions fellas.

I will check our local restaurant supply store. If they have one, I'll buy local.

I always try to support the local businesses when possible. That, and if I want something, I want it now. I don't care if I can get it cheaper by ordering it online, and mainly do that if it's something I can't go to town and buy.

My 14' is missing. I know- how in the F!!! do your (almost adult) kids lose a knife in a 1300 sq ft house..... Mine is/was a Victorinox from the 80's with a nice wooden handle. Had great hand feel. I suspect it was left in a disposable foil pan that my son tossed out straight into the city can when he cleaned up after I made a pulled pork a few weeks ago.

If it doesn't show up soon I'm going to replace it with a 12" Victorinox from the 20's

If I was still cutting up lots of beef primals I'd go a heavy 14 again. But I don't so I think maybe one of the 'plastique' handled ones might be the way I go.

I have the 14" Victorinox with Fibrox handle & it's big. I find it unwieldy at times, but boy does it cut a nice clean steak from a whole rib eye roast! Most other times, I wish it was smaller so I think the 12" may be a great decision.

IDS, I use a 12 inch Russell for steaking up rumps on moose. It holds an edge and is fairly inexpensive.
