As someone has already said, knives are a very personal thing. I say follow the suggestion to take her to Williams-Sonoma and have her try out the knives. I have very small hands so I find it harder to get a good grip on a larger knife. I would definitely get her to pick out something she likes, though, because if she doesn't like the way it feels when she uses it, chances are it will never be used. A knife that feels ill-fitting can also be dangerous for the user. So let her pick out her own if you can.
