Product Review

Loved by professional chefs, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The razor sharp blades are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel, which holds its edge longer than any other steel. Global knives are sharpened further up the edge of the blade than German-style knives, creating a straight edge- in fact two or three times more surface area is sharpened on a Global knife. Lightweight in your hand, the knives offer superior control and precision. Inspired by the crafting of ancient samurai swords, each knife is carefully weighted for perfect balance and comfort. The smooth contours and seamless construction prevent food and dirt particles from collecting on the knife. Gorgeous modern design includes a textured handle for a secure grip. These knives have remarkably sharp, flexible blades that have been ice-tempered and hardened to meet stringent standards - perfect for slicing bread, carving meat or peeling vegetables. Each one holds its razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion. Set Includes: 4-in. Paring Knife 5-in. Utility Knife 8.25-in. Carving Knife 8-in. Chef's Knife 8.75-in. Bread Knife Drawer Storage Tray.

Amazon.com Review

Many professional chefs are replacing their traditional heavy German knives with lighter Japanese-made cutlery. Manufactured from a hard grade of stainless steel, the blades on these knives are face-ground with a long taper and at an acute angle to produce long-lasting razor-sharpness. The stainless-steel handles are seamlessly constructed to the blade and indented with a dimpled pattern to make them slip-free. Metal or sand fills the handle to provide the proper balance for cutting and slicing.

This full set includes an 8-inch chef’s knife, an 8-1/4-inch carving knife, an 8-3/4-inch bread knife, a 5-inch chef’s utility knife, and a 4-inch paring knife. All cutlery safely fits in the included stainless-steel storage dock, which rests horizontally for in-drawer storage. All Global knives are covered by a lifetime warranty against breakage and manufacturing defects. --Cristina Vaamonde

These have got to be the sweetest knives I have ever used. I used to use a Henckle chef knife, but it doesn't hold a candle to the Global.I only have two beefs with these knives:1) They are so sharp that they can leave deep gouges in your cutting board if you are careless (especially the serrated while cutting bread).2) The knive handle is more difficult to dry because its dimples like to retain water. When it is wet it can create an unusual tactile sensation in your hand.These are minor things though. The bottom line is that the knives make cutting and chopping a pleasure.And they look cool too!

I purchased a Global knife approximately 1 year ago. It is the best knife I have ever purchased. The balance in the knife when cutting is exceptional. It is almost like cutting air. The dimpled surface of the knife makes it easy to grip.
Over all an exceptional knife.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiercely sharp, yet light and elegant, December 26, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Global G-88/555ST - 5 Piece Knife Set with Storage Dock (Kitchen)
The Global 5 knife set features the standard lightweight, ultra sharp knives which make the Global name famous. The addition of a knife dock/rack makes storing your knives even easier. The set starts with the basic 8 inch chef knife with a slighly flexible blade that can be used to chop vegetables or fillet a fish. The set contains a number of additional blades from a bread knife to utility and paring knives. The first thing you'll do when you get these knives is test out making paper thin slices of everything in your kitchen. Pretty amazing. The one thing some people have rightly pointed out, is that for people who want a heavier blade, or a larger handle, look for the thicker blades such as the 8 1/4" forged chef knife. However, if you want to make all your cutting, chopping and prep work go quickly and easily, this is a wonderful knife set.
