My wife wanted a new (and sharper) knife for slicing vegetables, so I got her this for Christmas. All I can say is...SHE LOVES IT! I dare not touch it or she'll say "THAT'S MY KNIFE!" She has let me use it though, and yes, it's sharp and cuts veggies very well and effortlessly. We haven't had it long enough to rate how long it holds an edge, but I suspect with regular "honing" it will perform well. It's well balanced and she likes the way it feels in her hand. Can't really say much about rust resistance as we always wash it by hand and dry immediately. It's probably versatile enough for slicing smaller cuts of meat, but we have other knives for that, so it's mostly relegated for veggie slicing. This knife comes highly recommended by me..and, I think it safe to say, by my wife, too. Read more

So light. So sharp. So precise. So well balanced--I can hold it by the handle or hold it by neck where the blade and handle meet. This knife is like a dream. Cuts through vegetables so easily whether chopping, slicing, julienning. Makes prep work go by quickly (and enjoyably). And it is really affordable compared to other knives I was looking at like Shun, Kyocera, etc. This knife out of the box was sharper than my ceramic knives. And I since it's made of metal and not brittle ceramic, I didn't have a second thought when I pounded some garlic with it. I thought the handle was going to be awkward or slippery when wet. It's neither. The handle is very comfortable and I had not problem with grip. I'm not a professional chef, I just like to cook at home and have the right tools for the job. I love my new knife!!! The size 5 1/2" is perfect and probably the one I will use most often. But now that I like this so much, I am going to get the GS5-7inch too for bigger jobs. And I think I will pick up a set for my mom as well. These knives have so many great reviews. I don't know why I was so skeptical before. Love!!! Read more

Really love this knife. I’d chop tons of vegetables almost every day and this really gets the job done. It feels good in your hand. It sharpens really nicely – make sure you get a knife sharpener as it dulls pretty quickly. It works as well as the day I got it, and still looks perfect. No scratches, no dings.Highly recommend if you need a real workhorse in the kitchen. Read more

I happen to like a wider bladed knife like this one, as they track well through large hard vegetables as compared with a skinnier bladed knife. The stainless steel alloy used in Global knives is far superior to most stainless alloys, which are notoriously difficult to put a really good edge on. This knife sharpens nicely and relatively easily, and holds an edge well, though not as well as Japanese high carbon steels such as Blue and White (referring to the color paper the steel bolts come wrapped in). Those steel alloys are easier to sharpen and hold their edge longer, but have the disadvantage of developing rust if not thoroughly dried and lightly oiled after each use, which makes them impractical for most American kitchens where homemakers just want to throw everything in the dish washer. But for a stainless knife, this is very close to good Japanese alloys, and has won numerous awards for design and sharpness. Read more

I am a chef and have been looking for my new favorite knife. I have found three and An happy to share my spot for favorite. This knife from global is perfect for chopping vegetables. It is very comfortable to hold, razor sharp, light weight, and slices vegetables with ease. It’s not great for meat. Something heavier like a wusthof Is my preference for meat. Victorinox has some very good, very affordable knives that are a little more versatile yet with a less interesting design. I’m hoping I won’t have to buy one again, soon, but not if I do, I will absolutely spend money for this knife. Read more
