Shun, MAC or something else?

For me, all of the higher end knives have awesome blades. From an actual "cutting stuff up" function, they are all pretty equal.

The difference, IMHO, is the handle. Does it fit my larger-than-average hand well? Do I like the texture? Do I like the angle? Do I like the balance? To get my chef's knives...I went to a store that had all the brands I was looking at...and the variations of them....and had them hand them to me with my eyes closed.

I went with Wusthof. Love them. Shun was my second choice. MAC just didn't "feel" right for me. Your mileage WILL vary. Take your time...go for "feel" over sexy.
