"Best Knives I Have Ever Used"
These are by far the best knives I've ever purchased. My wife has had one of the knives for over ten years hasn't been sharpened once and it's still sharp as ever.

"The best single knife "
I just bought this knife for Christmas Holiday cooking, I have done so much research and visited numerous stores before purchasing this product. I do have good knives at home, but compared to Global, oh my gosh this is the best and only thing I will be using. I never expected knife to be soo sharp and precise. I had to choose between Wusthof vs Global santoku and I liked the contour new look and ease of cleaning part. I enjoy cooking, but now I love it!!!

"Most used knife already"
This knife is the most used knife in the kitchen.
I have other Global's, but this is a better handling and cutting knife.
Sharpness out of the box is excellent, but you have to maintain it.
No problem. Every knife has to be maintained.

"This blade deserves your respect (not a review for the squeamish)"
I've had this knife for a few weeks now, and it has made chopping onions, peppers, and fresh herbs (my main digs) an absolute pleasure. It glides through everything that I put under it. I hone the knife every time I take it out of the drawer, and it's still as sharp as the day I got it. I'm planning on a professional sharpening after about six months of use, considering how much I use it.

***Fair warning-- this review contains a description of an injury sustained while cooking. If you stop here, though, just know that this knife is FANTASTIC.***

About a week and a half ago, I was slicing an onion parallel to the cutting board (for a fine dice) and I underestimated its sharpness-- I put a little to much pressure behind it, and it slipped into my finger, including quite a bit of fingernail. Ouch. The cutting, however, was still brilliantly sharp. When I went to the emergency room, the nurse and attending both commented on the cleanness of the cut and asked me what kind of knife it was. I told them, and they both seemed impressed. I figure those are some professionals who know the work of a good blade when they see it.

Highly recommended--- just don't underestimate it. This blade deserves your respect.

"The best knife I have every purchased!"
I own many of the best rated kitchen knifes, whether they be made in France, Germany or Japan. This however, is the best most fun knife I've yet to purchase. It is very sharp, the angle is fabulous and it feels perfectly designed for standing and doing a lot of knife work. The weight is just the best for me. I find myself using this knife instead of most of the others, even when a smaller or larger one is called for. In time, I hope to replace all of the others with other Global knifes. The price offered at Amazon beat every other source I checked out.

What our customer's say!

"Fantastic knife", Fantastic knife - extremely sharp and nicely balanced. I've been using various Wusthof and Henckels knives over the years and wanted to try the Global. I am impressed and will get one or two more. The 7 in size is great for cutting and slicing...a little small and light for dicing and chopping.

"Best Knife Ever!!", we are now global fans for life.
this knife is the best all purpose knife ever.

"Global knife", All I can say is, "WOW"! I truly love this knife. It's sharp, easy to handle, easy to clean, lovely to use.

"beautiful knife - extremely sharp! a dream to use", I was in the market for a 6 to 7 inch hollow ground santoku...my budget was $100 or less. I narrowed it down to 2 knives: the global and the mac. I loved both - but I liked how the global was all stainless - and i liked how it felt.

I actually have the Kitchenaid Santoku - which was around $17. It cuts nicely, but the global is oh so much sharper and just feels so much better.

Unlike the other reviewer, it does NOT feel slippery to me....i love the grip - i love how it feels - and it slices/chops/dieces like a DREAM.

Seriously though - you have to have some respect for this knife. It is incredibly sharp so please be careful. You will wonder how long you were able to survive w/out it - and it will make chopping onions...herbs....veggies etc. seem like you are cutting into butter. It is just so smooth and it is a complete joy to use this knife. i LOVE this knife.

"Wish it had the tapered handle", I haven't purchased the 7" Santoku but I've tried it out. I own a 5" Utility from Global and LOVE it. The handle is not slippery. It is all one piece so easy to keep clean and very durable. I'm not so concerned about how sharp a knife is when I get it because I send them to our local bladesmith. It does hold an edge relatively well though and cuts through meat and vegetables with ease when sharp. The reason I can't give this Santoku a 5 star rating is it doesn't have the tapered handle like the one I own and my hand tires more easily with this knife than those with the tapered handles, which is extremely important to me, especially when I have a lot of prep work to do.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"I'm Very Disappointed", I find the handles slippery and the knives are not that sharp. I bought these knives because of a friend's recommendation. I really regret my purchase. They simply are not sharp. I guess the popularity of these knives and increased sales has gotten in the way of good quality control.

I wish I had read Consumer Reports and other reviews before purchasing these knives.

I think there are some people who approach customer reviews solely to confirm their pre-conceived purchasing decisions.

My knives are not very sharp and the handles are slippery

"Sharp!", this hollowground is great. Global really sends out knives that dont need to be re-sharpenend out of the box. It slices easily through meat and vegetables, even fish bones (when i cut the seabass in half the other day) Hence the name Santoku, It does all of it's 3 jobs very well. I'm waiting to see how sharp it will remain after a few more weeks. I'm not sure how the hollow grounds work, because cutting big pieces of onions and chicken still stick to the blade, but not other things. smaller pieces may not stick but it's a hollow ground santoku dammit! it's supposed to cut everything without sticking!

"The best knife I ever have owned", I don't know why the others -- including other hollow-ground santokus -- are still in the house. They don't get any use anymore; this is not an exaggeration. The edge this holds is phenomenal. It requires a touch up in the sharpener far less often and, after weeks at a time of heavy use, it still out-performs anything else freshly sharpened. And no other knife has been this easy to hold onto; the "dimpled" grip simply does not allow for any slipping around.

The result of all this is that this ordinary middle-aged, middling cook has seen her knife skills increase to a level I never thought possible. I have always viewed chopping, dicing, slicing, and anything else that required me to pick up a knife as a particular kind of dangerous drudgery. No more. Where formerly I hauled a larger or smaller food processor out to handle things, I now confidently and happily pick up this knife, including for cups and cups at a time of finely diced vegetables. It has literally revolutionized the way I feel about food preparation. I use it seven days a week to prep for at least one meal a day.

And the thing is just lovely to look at. It is a beautiful object, one that makes me happy that I have a magnetic bar to display it.

One cautionary note: I agree with a previous reviewer that food does not seem much less likely to stick to the hollow-ground blade than to ordinary blade. But I absolutely love this knife and that is why, even with this caveat, it gets five big gold stars from me.

"Good, but not quite as I expected", The knife cuts very well and is just the right length for your average meal prep. The only complaint is the hollow-ground "fluted" blade does little to reduce food sticking to it.

"I am in love with this knife", This knife is superior in every way.

It is SO sharp - much sharper than my Henckels Pro S knives. It literally glides through onions and other veg.

It is lightweight and easy to hold. I thought the grip might be slippery, but it is not at all. Even with wet hands, I get a firm, comfortable grip and it's secure.

This knife makes me want to replace all of my Henckels with Global knives.
