Work House Knife

So I own a few Japanese knives, and I notice I'm quite delicate and careful with how I preform with them. I would like to get something in the more German category, and get more of a work horse knife. I want something that I can sort of bump around and not be so careful and care for a lot, but still have a nice knife as well. I've been looking at some of the Wusthof's and Victorinox's but perhaps there's better options you may conceive of. Some of my desires are as followed. Greatly appreciated!
