I should see if I can get a feel for them at House of Knifes or something. In terms of the blade it would make sense that Japanese 17 degree is sharper than German 23 degree. But thinner maybe less durable too?

What about serrated blade?

Cutco has pretty BAD reputation it seem, about their company. Who owns Cutco and has compared with other big brands?


LOL
From what I've found

Lighter blade, heavy handle = Good for use at a professional level. Less Fatigue, more agile.
Heavy blade, light handle = Less "work" needed to cut since the weight of the blade is cutting.
