This is my knife opinion, hence nothing more than that. Firstly I'm not sure that buying knives off the internet is a good idea. A knife that feels nicely balanced in your hand makes cooking a more pleasant experience. Think if buying from the internet you need to look at how different brands and models you have tried feel.
But then I could be over thinking it, I do that alot. Also go through phase, have a chinese cash and carry meat cleaver that is brilliant when I'm in that mood. Had to buy 3 fat bottom woks the other day have gone back to the meat cleaver while I stir fry everything to get the woks to a good non stick. Bought a cheap sanktou and that is going back as the blade is pitted from corrosion. Friend bought a kiwi, kom kom and java recently:

He is raving about these at the moment as they reminded him of travelling i thailand in his youth and are currently being raved about in some circles. They are cheap so no idea what they are like as I haven't seen or used them.
EDIT @owl I do like my opinel, but suspect I am a fanboi so would recomend feeling how one fits your hand.
