I have a set of steel knives. They all have different weights. Most of my
cooking at home is for 2-4 people, so I never have to use the knife that balance
is going to be a problem. My ceramic knives are light, but for the things I use
them for, they are fine, Their keen edge makes up for any balance problem.
