Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global GF-36 - 8 inch, 20cm Heavyweight Vegetable Knife

Customer Review: I LOVE THIS KNIFE
Summary: 5 Stars

The first time I used this knife, I knew from that second that this would be one of the most treasured items in my kitchen. I LOVE it. I have Henckels & Wusthof knives, but this knife is by far the best. When I prepare a meal, my favorite part is when I get to use my knife. I cannot possibly express to you how truly wonderful this knife really is. Buy it! Buy it! BUY IT! You won't be sorry (except when you aren't paying attention and cut yourself)! I only wish I had the money to purchase a whole set; I will one day...

Update: I also purchased the "Global 10-Inch Diamond Sharpening Steel" and WOW - it's amazing. If your knife is a little on the dull side, run it over the sharpener a few times, and BAM! It's as sharp as it was when you bought it. Simply amazing.

Description of Global GF-36 - 8 inch, 20cm Heavyweight Vegetable 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 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
