We have had the 8" for a couple years. I don't feel like I have good control over it. Yes, I realize that it's a matter of practice, but I purchased this last week and I am already so much more comfortable with this. The 6" is perfect for me as a 5'4" woman with relatively "normal" sized hands.
I have a victronox 10-in chef's knife that I got about 3 years ago that has really lost its sharpness. Am I just better off buying new ones every couple of years or having these professionally sharpened? It worked amazingly for about 2 years with honing. But now it has definitely lost its sharpness. I feel like these are so cheap I should just buy a new one every couple of years.

I wondered the same thing with my paring knives, but I'd say it makes more sense to have a knife sharpened than getting rid of it. In addition to less waste, a moderately skilled local knife sharpener is likely to only be $5-10 per blade.
You can also get a zero-skill sharpening system like the Work Sharp Precision Adjust[amazon.com] for $60. I have messed up multiple blades trying to sharpen on whetstones, but I took my 6 inch Victorinox from dangerously dull to push cutting paper in under 5 minutes on the first attempt. There are other systems that also reportedly work well, this one was just the sweet spot of price vs performance for me.
It's not super cheap, but it's cheaper than replacing multiple knives. Additionally, having a way to do it yourself means that you are more likely to sharpen when they start to get dull rather than waiting to replace or send out for sharpening.

There is a two-sided king whetstone for roughly 20 bucks on Amazon. If you figure out how to use this, it will save you money the more knives you sharpen.

I appreciate the deadpan honest comment in the midst of innuendo.

My wife needed one or two sharp smaller knives, so I got her these ones: Victorinox Fibrox Pro 3-Piece Paring Knife Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001DFRW5W

6 inches is on the small side
