Customer Reviews

Is Japan Better than Germany?
This knife is by far the best knife I have ever used. As the 'workhorse' of any kitchen this chef's knife is versatile. Both form and function are exquisite. If you can, try out this knife first at your local culinary store... some may not like the feel of the handle.

I cook 3-4 times a week and have not had to sharpen this knife in over one year. The blade is increadible. Make sure that you maintain it with a few swipes on a steel before each use. I have Wustof, Schaff, Henkel (all german), and Sabatier carbon steel (French) and prefer this knife over all of them. That is surprising considering the quality of those knives. This particular knife is part of the Global forged line. I really appreciate the weight and balance of these knives. It would take a little for me to get used to some of their other (lighter)knives, but from what I know, the blade performance in the additional lines is equally unmatched.

Global knives are a bit more expensive than most other brands, but in my opinion their ability in the kitchen makes up for the extra cost. Go for it... you will enjoy your purchase no doubt.
