Others say...
"A Great Introduction to Japanese Cutlery" This was my first Global and also my first Japanese knife. Since purchasing this knife Ive gotten deeper into Japanese cutlery and have purchased several more knives from Global, Hattori, Hiromoto and others. Specific to this knife, if this is your first time using Japanese cutlery be prepared, this knife is SHARP! It also holds an edge much longer than European steel. At the reasonable price here, this is a wonderful introduction to the world of Japanese cutlery. "What a great knife!" A friend of my girlfriend came over to cook dinner with us one night and brought her Global knife. After using it to cut vegetables and meat we were very impressed. It is perfectly balanced and very lightweight. The blade is super sharp so the carrots don't go flying off the cutting board while you're chopping them. My girlfriend especially liked the knife so I went on the Amazon and bought her one. Although I have never owned a quality knife before, so I cannot compare, I am very happy with this knife and would like to collect the entire set. "Anthony Bourdain should get a commission." I never forgot that he mentioned this knife brand as a more affordable alternative in Kitchen Confidential. It's still pretty expensive for me but it is the sharpest knife I own and now I can slice ginger thinly so soup making has been a much better experience for me. I like that is is one piece of metal. It's not slippery when wet. I've sliced frozen fish and meat as well as veggies and scallions. This was a positive experience although I still feel like a traitor to frugality for buying it. I really enjoy this knife although I've gotten some pretty bad cuts. I was finally compelled to buy this after success with the recipes in Fuzzy Dunlop's Sichuan cookbook. This price wasn't quite as high as other styles and it was less than ten dollars more than the next smaller size so I thought this one would be good value. It IS so good that it motivated me to buy more cutting boards. This knife IS the only one I reach for and it has made food prep and the cooking experience much easier, less stressful. "Buy it!" I bought the Global veggie knife after reading the raves here on Amazon, and the thing is fantastic. It's wicked sharp, lightweight, comfortable to hold, and just the right size. Makes chopping a pleasure! "A Great Knife" You can't go wrong with this knife. I use it almost as much as I use my 8 inch chef's knife. It holds an edge well, feels light in your hand, and has perfect ballance.

What our customer's say! "Super", One cannot go wrong with any of the Global knives. This one ranks up there for fruits and veggies. Such a breeze to slice. "My new partner in vegetable carnage.", It's high time to replace my Wusthof set and I no longer live near retailers where I can test-drive these knives prior to purchase; so I decided to order both this knife and an equivalent style from the Shun Ken Onion line to gauge their sharpness, ease of use and their feel in my hand before committing to buy several from either line sight unseen. Well, I haven't unwrapped the Shun yet, but this Global had its debut today with some thick, tough broccoli stalks and I was very impressed. This was a completely different experience from holding (or should I say forcefully grasping) a Wusthof. I first had to adjust my expectations, and then my actual grip. The metal handle has a substantial (and surprising) amount of traction and I didn't find it at all slippery. It felt well balanced in my hand and I didn't need to apply a lot of pressure in order to control it. In fact, the gentler the grasp I engaged with it, the smoother and more effective was its action. My grip was firm but light, and the formidable blade slid through the tough broccoli as if it were butter. My previous knives required heavy sawing motions and considerable pressure on my part even when the blades were freshly honed and sharpened; which was very fatiguing and frustrating, and made a tiring, time-consuming chore of an otherwise simple task. The lethal blade on this beast is almost frighteningly sharp and effective, but I felt no imminent slippage or danger while holding it; all of its slicing power stayed centered upon the vegetable and safely away from my hand. I should mention that I'm a 5'8" woman with a medium-large-sized hand. I highly recommend this knife if you do a lot of chopping and need a knife that makes fewer demands on your upper body strength; spend a great deal of time at your computer keyboard and experience any wrist fatigue; or just want to make your prep time in the kitchen a breeze and a pleasure. The Ken Onion will have its day shortly and I'm eager to try it; but in the meantime, this Global is my new partner in vegetable carnage. "Best knife ever...", My husband is a pretty good amateur chef which I highly encourage. I bought him this knife for Christmas and he loves it so much he is looking for excuses to chop up vegetables! We have never eaten better. I am going to buy several more sizes so he will have a complete set. He goes on and on about how great it is and how it feels so natural, slices so thinly and accurately, etc... "great knife as commonly reviewed, take note of sharpening..", there's not much to be said about this knfie that hasn't already been said except maybe its sharpening. Global knives, unlike german knives, have a convex edge. German/euro knives have a 'V' shaped edge, for comparison. The convex edge cuts very well, as you might have experienced, and it last a VERY LONG time. Sharpening convex edges requires a different action/angle than 'V' edges. Common pull-through sharpeners are designed to put a 'V' shaped edge on knives and if you use one on your global you will trash the edge. Unless you use it until you obliterate the convex edge and put a 'V' edge on your global. Global recommends against using a sharpening steel, not because of the edge, because of the material. Instead they recommend using a whetstone. Now, most people are not going to buy a whetstone and spend considerable time learning to properly use one. BTW the clips global sells to help you maintain the right angle while using a stone suck, and scratch up your knife. Fortunately, global sells a pull through sharpener specifically designed for their knives called the minosharp.. Unfortunately, it cost $45. Fortunately it works very well. I use a whetstone for my knives and other tools, and I can put the same edge on my global as the minosharp but it takes me 15 minutes instead of 45 seconds. After trying a friend's minosharp I had to buy one because it puts a factory edge back on my favorite knife in no time. "A very insane knife!", I have 3 Global knives. They are the best knives I have ever used. I love that they are 1 single piece of steel (except for the sand inside the handle). I really love this on in particular. It is light, has a great feel, fun to use and ridiculously sharp! I was gently wiping some water off of it with my thumb one day, and the blade slid against my thumb leaving a nice gash about 1/8" thick. Lucky it was at an angle and not perpendicular with my thumb, otherwise I would have bled a lot more. I highly recommend buying any Global knife, and this one is smaller and perfect for most chopping and cutting needs. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Holy Crap, that's a good knife.", This knife has made me eat more vegetables, just because it's so much fun to chop carrots. I was a little concerned with the handle at first, but it's very comfortable, and isn't slick at all, even in soapy water. I also worried that maybe I should have gotten the bigger version of this knife. Again, my fears were unfounded, as this was the perfect size for vegetable preparation. You can't really describe the feeling of using the best tool for the job... but if you've ever had that feeling, you already know how you'll feel using a Global. When I slice carrots for snacks, they come out as perfect, translucent discs. Any vegetable I've cut has been a joy. "Super sharp, great medium size knife", I really like this knife for making thin slices of small to medium size veggies. However, I think this knife is a bit small for mincing onions and the side is too short for scooping like a cleaver (which is bad for your knife anyway). I still usually grab for this knife because its insanely sharp, light, and versatile because of its size. I can use it as to slice tomatoes, shred lettuce, and then dip it in the mayo jar. Perfect for making gourmet sandwiches. Great knife, worth every penny. I plan on getting a 7 1/2 inch Global vegetable cleaver/knife and a Shun 10" chef's as well. "Great knife, but be very careful with it ", This knife is NOT for beginners!!! While trying to free my new global vegetable knife from the plastic tie, the unsheathed, razor sharp knife slipped out of my hand, due to it's wedge-like, smooth handle, and I wound up severing a tendon in my ring finger. I am typing all this out with one hand as I just got out of surgery a few hours ago. Be very careful when you extract this knife from the packaging, as the packaging is not safe. Also, there is no protective sheath for this knife, so do not throw it in a knife drawer. Unless you have used pro-knives like these before, you should avoid. "A Great Compromise", I truley adore my global vegetable kife. My husband grew up only using a giant meat cleaver in his family kitchen. So he believed that you only needed one knife in the kitchen of all uses. So for him to actually pick up this knife to use for normal day to day use is a major accomplishment. Great balance, Beautiful design, keeps its edge, and a lot less intimidating then a giant meat cleaver. |
