Hi..I am looking for a large butchers knife with a longer blade..I am cutting up tons of cabbage for sauerkraut and what I have is doing the trick but I want bigger. Any suggestions? doesn't have to be expensive either. My bade is 8", am thinking 12" would be great. I think I want the carbon steel unless someone has a better idea..I want a hefty knife. Thanks in advance guys. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
