Global G-46 7-Inch Santoku Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In Anthoney Bourdain's book "Kitchen Confidential" he talks about how in a real kitchen the chefs don't use Henkle or Wustoff knives, they use Global. Cat Cora of "American Iron Chef" also uses Global knives. I needed a good knife in my kitchen so I decided to check out Global as well.
First of all, it's incredibly light. If I'm chopping a LOT of onions for a french onion soup or making a big batch of mirepoix for some beef stock I notice that lightness.
Then there's the balance. See that notch where the blade meets the handle? Pick the knife up by that notch and it balanced exactly level. Try that with a standard knife and you'll see how handle heavy they are.
Finaly, the edge. These knives are insanely sharp. They cut like a dream. I just went to a knife sharpening clinic by Wustoff and they suggest honeing your knife with 5 or 6 stroks on a steel before every meal that you cook. I've found that this keeps the edge razor sharp. However, you should realize that the edge on these knives is at 15 degrees, not 20 degrees. So adjust the angle you use to hone the edge.
Overall, it's an amazing knife. Take care of it and it will serve you as a professional quality tool for a long time.

Global G-2 8-Inch 20cm Cook's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the first global knives I bought. I loved it the first time I held it in my hands. What impressed me most was the perfect balance, the lightweight, and the sharpness. However, what may be perfect for me may not be perfect for you. I'd recommend anyone who is shopping for cutlery to go to a store and try how the knife feels in your hands before buying. And if you can borrow from a friend to try, that's even better.
Having used this knife for several years now, my initial impressions haven't changed. This is still my favorite knife for most tasks. I maintain it regularly with a steel and it is as sharp as it ever was. I have found though that for certain tasks like cutting slits into an onion for dicing or cutting root vegetables, I do prefer a heavier knife (that's why I bought another forged global knife), but that is just personal preference. All in all, a great general purpose kitchen knife.

Global G-5 7-Inch Vegetable Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Cuts like a Samurai blade quality, and doesn't need to steel as frequent as the Henckels/ Wusthof knives. It has excellent weight for a medium sized hand. However, the handles get quite slippery when wet, so keep your hands clean and dry while using this knife for safety. Also, if you plan on saving money on getting a cheaper steel, DON'T, because this Global blade is much harder than the Henckels/Wusthof blades; a qood quality Diamond coated or ceramic steel is a must, or if you really like the steel design, get the Global steel which can cost quite a bit. Overall, this is a good quality knife with proper care and attention needed, just like a Samurai would do to get use to his sword.
