Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global G-2 - 8 inch, 20cm Chef's Knife
Customer Review: didn't resist
Summary: 4 Stars
This was $70 on a Friday Sale and I went for it instead of paying half as much for a dishwasher safe Victorinox. Tsk, tsk.
Although Victorinox is cheaper, dishwasher-able, rated as the best by Cook's Illustrated, the seamlessness of Global satisfies my neurosis.
Customer Review: frighteningly sharp
Summary: 5 Stars
amazing. it will be a long time before i have to buy a chef's knife again. and it will be a long time before i buy a piece of cutlery that isn't global as well. i am a full on convert, this is the best knife i've ever used.Customer Review: so far, well worth the $$$
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, this is a great product. Nicely balanced -- feels great in the hand. The advantage of this knife is that it's supposed to hold an edge longer than other kinds of steel -- not supposed to be able to roll the edge. So far so good, but it's only been 3 weeks.Customer Review: superior knife
Summary: 5 Stars
As a professional cook, I don't like to waste time with gadgets or gimmicks at work. I was tired of the the dull, poor quality knives that my company supplies. I had the opportunity to try a Wusthoff knife during a busy shift. While it was better than the company knives,the weight made delicate tasks difficult. I held the Global at a cutlery shop and immediately noticed the balance and light weight it possesed. I purchased it on the spot. The knife is the best I have ever used. Global was able to produce a superior knife and it has proven itself day in and day out by handling everything from cutting frozen beef to slicing through tomatoes with ease. I will never go back to another brand, the knife is THAT good.Customer Review: wonderful, high quality knife
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently acquired one of these from a local store. The clerk highly recommended it for it's ease of sharpening and retention. The knife is wonderful! I've never used a knife so sharp, and this is factory sharpened, not even professionally done. The knife is light weight, so it is more about precession than power. It balances wonderfully, and the grip is great. All together a wonderful piece for any kitchen. I plan on acquiring a whole set as my budget allows.
