Description

The chef's knife is the multipurpose workhorse of the kitchen. Perfect for mincing, cutting, chopping, slicing and prep work. The "workhorse" of the kitchen is perfect for cutting, chopping, slicing and prep work. High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 8-inch chef's knife is an example-- have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack

    • Very very sharp!
Size: 8 Inch
I just purchased a set of four knives quite similar to each other as an experiment. (My older 8" knife was uninspiring.) All of them were 8". Two are made in Taiwan. Two in Japan. The other Japanese manufactured one I purchased was a MAC hollow edge. They were all received within a few days ago and I used them all for prepping vegetables, today. This 'Global' knife is head-and-shoulders sharper than all three of the others. (Which themselves are sharper than my older 8".) And I don't mean by just a little. It's night and day compared to the other three I just received. I almost cannot feel the Global blade as it slices through the red onions, bell peppers, and so on, today. If I had to guess (I do), the other brand new knives are about 4-6 times more 'draggy' as I slice. And they are already pretty sharp. I tested the Global last. Not for any reason than chance, in my case. But when I started using it, I was completely taken aback. I could tell I was actually cutting. It was like cutting through air, almost. It's scary sharp. I mean that. SCARY sharp. Don't let anyone near the darned thing! I then tried the knife on this product: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006J32A0 It's a rawhide chew for dogs that is made from thick, rolled up rawhide and dried and very hard. The knife was able to breeze through the hide. I was able to quickly turn a heavy rollup into a bunch of long slices. Seriously, I didn't need to push hard at all. Just sliced through the dried rawhide with far more ease than I like to consider. So it's sharper than any cooking knife I've encountered before. This is my first time trying Global. And I've no idea if I will be able to maintain the edge over time with a two-sided stone. But out of the box it is way way too easy when cutting. So much so that I'm keeping it locked away, for now. (I have children and grandchildren living with me.) I'm not a cook. But I've been in training at home, since we largely shifted away from processed foods to where I'm spending a few hours each day prepping the mise en place before cooking or otherwise making a fresh, cold dish. The reason, these last two years, for prepping and cooking from scratch and buying as little processed food as possible (oils and vinegars, for example) is because my daughter suffers from grand mal seizures. There are other reasons, but we've also identified a specific chemical that is commonly used in food today -- propylene glycol, aka 1,2 propanediol, aka propane-1,2-diol, which isn't natural at all and yet is allowed to be listed under "natural flavors" by the FDA rule changes in the summer of 1982, despite that it has to be made in vats and isn't found in nature. (1-3, propanediol is found in nature, so don't be confused.) This was patented in 1982 by Coca Cola for drinks (first applied to apple juice) and other uses and is now a growing industry for processed foods. Unfortunately, it also causes immediate (same day) seizures in my daughter. So by eliminating the sources of this chemical we've greatly reduced the seizure events (gone from as much as 2 or 3 per day to only a few per year, now -- it's a shocking change.) I'm enjoying, very much, learning how to cook again. And a good knife helps a lot. But these Global knives are nothing to play with. Be careful with them. I'd be saying that for my other knives -- the other Japanese MAC knife, for example, and the Mercer Taiwanese ones. But they don't even compare. The Global is just plain scary dangerous. Works very nice. But frightens me far more than the others (which are already scary enough), as well. I'll be trying out their other products where I find what they offer matches something I do a lot of. But I'll also be buying a case of some kind to keep these devices out of the hands of those who may forget just how dangerous they are. I'm darned happy with this knife. But scared, too. I will be using it with the utmost care. ... show more

    • Excellent Knife
Size: 8 Inch
This knife is razor sharp and lives up to all the positive reviews. Easy to use, well balanced and comfortable. My only wish is that it came with a sheath.

    • Maybe not as sharp as I was expecting?
Size: 8 Inch
Idk if it's just my expectations were wrong but it does struggle with some harder vegetables. Still waaaayyy better than my old knives though. I did almost immediately stab myself (my fault for being clumsy) and it felt pretty sharp in that moment at least.

    • Japanese knife
Size: 8 Inch
I had a previous Global knife and was satisfied with it. Thus, when this knife went on sale, I jumped on it and bought it, knowing it to be a great company. This is made in Japan. Beware of many advertised knives that is made in China, not in Japan, but advertised as Japanese knives.

    • Great gift.
Size: 8 Inch
This was a gift for son for birthday. He was really pleased to get a great quality chef knife. I'm not the only using it so only gave 4 stars on some categories, but I think it was a good purchase.
