I'm assuming that your talking about the one's with the heel that is like 4 inchs from top to bottom ?. I don't like those at all, I use the narrowest chef's knife I can find at work, and only one with an 8 inch blade.

I use 10" wide chef's knife. I like the extra knuckle clearance it gives me since my hands ain't dainty. I have an 8" as well buty mostly use the big one.
At weddings, my Aunts would poke me in the ribs and cackle "You're next!". They stopped when I started doing the same to them at funerals.

Kuan - When I put it on my counter, I have to do it at an angle :)

I'm a big fan of 'knuckle clearence'. I prefer my vegetable cleaver over just about any of my other knives (except my fancy chef's knife). I have been using a clever for 5+ years; won't give it up for all the bok choy in China! :) The 4" width allows for high-velocity knife handling.

Invention, my dear friends, is ninety-three percent perspiration, six percent electricity, four percent evaporation, and two percent butterscotch ripple
