I was going to say, definitely try and get a test of different lengths. I also have relatively small hands and started with a 160mm and have now sized down to a edit: 120
140mm (I think)which I find much more comfortable although I still use the 160 for chopping cabbage etc etc. Can't imagine ever being comfortable with a 240 for home cooking.Also would definitely recommend stainless. I'm sure Carbon steel is objectively better but I know for a fact that I'd ruin it at some point by leaving it damp or with lemon juice on or something. The peace of mind of stainless is much more practical IMO
