I have a $50 gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond. I want a good chef's knife. Is this the one I should get? I don't want to spend more than the gift card.
I like 10 inches:

If you end up going 8", you can just get this one, it's 20 dollars cheaper than the one with the divots:

Not sure why you're cutting so hard into avocado pits anyways... is there a movement I'm not aware of? I always thought sliding all the way around with a paring knife was the easiest move.

You cut around, thwack the knife into the pit, twist to remove, and pinch the pit into the trash.
Got it, makes sense now. I always get my fingers dirty scraping all the green out of the skins so I've just been using my fingats but that sounds cool.

wooden knife seems bad because it will get grimy and have a lot of friction between wood and food

stubby knife seems totally pointless and you're buying a totally unproven product at best
