You just have to get what feels right in your hand.

I have larger mitts and the Victorinox feels less likely to slip.

I have a very small Wusthoff parer that gets disproportionate use,
despite having diminutive size.

Each one has a commonality, very thin but sharp blades, a wee bit of
flex where needed.
