Product Description


Amazon.com 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's original knives have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives, Global also makes a heavier-weight line for cooks who prefer hefty cutlery--like this 8-inch vegetable knife, whose broad blade is as thick as a traditional European knife's and is ideal for precisely slicing and chopping vegetables. Global also dispensed with bolsters on most of its knives, including this one. Most Global knives have hollow handles, but the handle on this knife is solid. 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

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I was given this knife as a birthday gift six months ago. It is absolutely wonderful! Perfectly balanced, sharp, and nice to look at. The fact that it is so well balanced makes it extremely easy to use. Slicing watermelon or cutting sweet potatoes requires hardly any effort any more! All I have to do is let the knife do the work. Chopping vegetables for a tomato sauce is a cinch with this knife. I have a large family and it is not unusual that I have to prepare dinner for 12 to 15 people and this knife has made it easy for me. I intend to get a full set of these knives eventually. In my opinion, there is no comparison to my Sabatier chef's knife.
