Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global GF-33 - 8 1/4 inch, 21cm Heavyweight Chef's Knife
Customer Review: Amazing knife
Summary: 5 Stars
Invest in this knife (and a good sharpening stone) and it'll serve you for decades. It is heavy but with experience, that's a god thing. "Let the knife do the work" and all that. I got used to the weight quite quickly, despite being on the small side. However, smaller ladies might want to try it before ordering online.
Description of Global GF-33 - 8 1/4 inch, 21cm Heavyweight Chef's Knife
Global knives are crafted of CROMOVA 18 stainless steel for the perfect combination of chromium, molybdenum and vanadium to maximize edge retention and stain resistance. Their light weight seamless construction and razor sharp edges make Global knives a popular cutlery favorite. Made in Niigata, Japan. Lifetime guarantee from Global with normal use and proper care. Hand wash with non-acidic dish washing soap and dry thoroughly before storing.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 European-style heavyweight line for cooks who prefer hefty cutlery--like this 8-1/4-inch chef's knife, whose broad blade is as thick as a traditional European knife's. 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 the seamless construction between handle and blade is more sanitary. This knife's wedge-shaped handle is particularly well engineered for grasping securely with a relaxed hand. 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 set 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
