Beautiful knife ... for very small hands!

The blades are of the material quality was undisputed as good as described by the other reviewers - but I have a problem with the size. As early as the packaging they look quite small, but the length is so in the product description read - so far so good. BUT: the handle length is described there with 10 cm. In reality, this is the measure from the handle end to the beginning of the blade. The actual length of the handle to the beginning of the hand guard (which is the point at which the index finger rests on the blade) is only 9 cm.

I have pretty small for a man's hands, the width of the palm of the hand varies somewhat between right and left in a good 8 to just 8.5 cm: but this knife feels itself in my hand as part of a children's set to. I've looked at for comparison my other, "normal" cutlery knife and found that the relationship between blade and handle is usually about 50:50; in some of the grip is even slightly longer than the cutting. This is how you can already see in the photos, not the case here, and so far I feel the statement that the knife is perfectly balanced, as something inappropriate. Feels like I'm missing "at the back" just about two centimeters.

Since the cutting with the perfectly cut knives is still a pleasure, I get rid of this a) do not return, and it is sufficient here b) still for three stars. But from the other reviewers so far apparently not perceived circumstance may be a decision-making tool for all those who are just also depends on how the knife is in his hand.
