I love 'Furi' knives, my fiance, who is a chef, bought some for work, and we loved them so much we bought a Furi knife block for home as well!.
From the website, these are the reasons I like Furi:
Füri handle shape: unique ‘reverse wedge’ handle shape developed to resist hand slip toward the blade!. This innovation greatly reduces hand fatigue for working chefs, because less slip means less squeezing is required to do the same work!.
‘Coppertail’: innovation allowing cooks to rebalance their knives as the blade wears down!.
Diamond Fingers sharpening/honing method; Tech Edge sharpening system; Ozitech sharpener/honer: world-first sharpening/honing tools that replicate the honing action of a traditional chef’s Steel, but eliminate all human angle error to allow everyone to quickly achieve edges that are both perfectly shaped, and perfectly honed!.
FX, Forged eXoskeleton manufacturing method: pioneered by Füritechnics to manufacture stronger and more hygienic professional knives!. With this method, the blade, bolster, and the bottom half of the handle are forged from one piece of alloy – instead of forging a tang through the centre and adding handle pieces, we forge the tang into the shape of the handle!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

While Hienkles are great knives they do not tend to hold their edge!. Globals are pretty and have and hold a great edge and wusthofs (sorry for the spelling) are also a good knife!. Basically it needs to feel good in your hand!.

Japanese companies have come to be know as the best knife makers!. This is because they mastered the technology over 600 years ago!. I have a lot of Henckels and they are terrific, but I bought a Japanese knife 20 years ago and like it still and recently bought another!. Try this web site:
