Visit your local home store and check out their knife display. Most of the knives are locked up but you can probably find a salesperson and explain to them your needs. They’ll let you hold them so you can judge how they feel.

Don’t buy a knife just because it is expensive, however. The grip and balance may not be what you need. Test out knives that are in all different price ranges. There is nothing wrong with buying something inexpensive, as long as it feels good.
Buying online is not only a safer way to purchase (you don’t have to give your credit card to a person who then takes it into the back room to run it- as in restaurants – you don’t have to show it to anyone!), but shopping online is also very convenient.
If you don’t need that knife tonight, then online shopping is the way to go.
And while you’re shopping, don’t forget the Chef’s best tool of all… the knife sharpener:
