Global 7 in. Deba Knife (Left Handed) G-7L Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This knife is of high quality and very sharp. Unfortunately the blade is also delicate and is easily damaged. I think the blade is thinner than European knives because it is only sharpened on one side, and after a couple years of use my blade edge was full of large nicks and dings. After having the edge repaired I now only use it for delicate foods like fruit and sushi. I have found my Henkels chefs knife has held up much better during daily use and is much easier to maintain.

Global 5-1/4Inch Hollow Ground Santoku Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This knife is amazing. It seems like gravity itself carries the knife to the cutting board, gently cutting anything in its path. Chopping chili or bell peppers is made so easy with the sharp blade and well-designed weight of the knife. I was informed when researching Globals for my own use that they are balanced perfectly and designed in the manner of Japanese samurai swords. The handles are forged with the blades, but dimpled for an interesting and comfortable grip. All Global knives are made with the same consideration and engineering.
If you are hesitant to order such an expensive knife online without checking the grip out for yourself, visit a Sur La Table or Williams-Sonoma store to see Global knives in person. One benefit to order knives online, especially as a wedding gift is that they do not have to be transported via commercial airplane.
These knives are worth the extra work it is to hand wash and dry.

Global G-4 7-Inch Oriental Chef's Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first Global knife, and I've since bought four more. After three years of daily use it's still as sharp as ever, with only a few passes over a diamond steel occasionally. (If you are going to use Global knives, bite the bullet and get a diamond steel.)Global knives are frightenly sharp when they are new, even the serrated knives like the bread knife, which appear more benign. Be careful with these things until you get used to them, even if you've had good German knives before. (No, you won't cut your fingers,you'll be naturally cautious about that, you'll nick an arm or a wrist by brushing the blade, something I never even knew could happen until I got my 10 inch Global chef.)
The eight inch Oriental chef is a great little chopper and slicer, and the very wide blade is nice for lifting slices, but do think about the traditional 8 inch Global chef as your mainstay knife if you're only getting one. This one is balanced for a "push" stroke, rather than the pull stroke that most Western cooks use, the handle is a little high for a good rocker chop -- at least until you get used to it, and the back of the blade is curved, so if you're used to scraping your cutting board with the spine of your blade, this one won't do the trick. Your veggies will escape under the curve. The blade is hollow ground (beveled on both sides) not single sided like the denba, so you don't have to worry about being left or right handed.
None of this makes the knife a bad one, but it does take some getting used to and frankly, I'm more comfortable with the 8 inch chef as my mainstay knife. (The 10 inch chef is a bit of a monster for most tasks. Great for cutting a pizza all the way across in a single rock, but, well... I guess I shouldn't admit I use my good knives on pizza, huh?) You won't go wrong with a Global knife, it's just a question of which one feels right for you.
One more thing: these knives look like modern art, if that sort of thing matters to you. You can see the quality in them as well as feel it.

This 7-in. Asian Chef's Knife has a sharp upward curve and thicker "belly" than a traditional cook's knife. Great all purpose knife for cooks that like to chop or rock against the cutting board.Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook.The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor.The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip.Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue.Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps.Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.
