I have big hands also (wear xxl gloves) and I bought a Rat4 because my Rat3 seemed small. The 4 was ok but was looking for Rat6 for more handle. I bought the Izula which fit my hand just fine (like my favorite paring knife), afterwards went and played with Rat3 again and found it not so bad. Morale is play with the knife for awhile and you will get used to it and be able to all your chores well. Like Diz said play with a big knife for awhile and every thing else is small.
