Global 8″ Chef’s Knife

This knife amazed me when I took it out of the box. I lightly dragged my thumb across the edge and felt some of my skin shave off, and looked closely at the edge to see flakes of my skin on either side of the blade. I tested it out on a tomato eagerly and it fell through it like falling through air....

After using the knife maybe five times cutting onions zucchini cucumber and one pineapple it started to get pretty dull. Tried cutting some steak and it definitely wasn’t easy at all. I was really disappointed because I was hoping to finally have a decent chefs knife and this is not it. Next step is...

Only thing that I didn’t like is that usually when you buy high end knives they come with a tip protector during shipping, I’ve bought knives from Chef knives to go and they all have come with some sort of knife tip protectors. This one arrived with the tip slightly bent. For $100 knife purchased I ...

I just purchased a set of four knives quite similar to each other as an experiment. (My older 8" knife was uninspiring.) All of them were 8". Two are made in Taiwan. Two in Japan. The other Japanese manufactured one I purchased was a MAC hollow edge. They were all received within a few days ago and ...

EDIT: As an interesting side note because someone did suggest that perhaps I got a counterfeit. I bought this knife here on amazon for just over 60 dollars (see verified purchase), it's now well over double that. So it's not in the realm of impossibility that Amazon received an order of cheaper knoc...

If you're reading this review, clearly you're in the market for a professional grade chef's knife. You've probably also considered offerings by Shun, Wusthof, and Henckels. Truth is, you really can't go wrong with the German knives. Nor can you go wrong with one of the Shun Elite knives. But that do...

Global knives are excellent. Global knives are creditable for a very good reason and the g-2 is one of the main reasons why. This is one of Global's first knives. This particular series of global is lightweight and thin, at the same time the steel holds a good edge but like any knife nothing is inde...

I’ve had this knife for over 2 years now and just love it. It came super sharp out of the box and changed the way I view the importance of having a high quality chef’s knife, like the Global G-2. This knife glides through vegetables like you were cutting soft butter, so it’s easy to cut razor thin s...

- Very light, about as light as a standard steak knife in the hand. That being said it doesn't handle things like potatoes or yams well, there's just not enough weight and width to the blade to split those things easily, a German style knife like a Mac or the Victorinox would be much easier to cut t...

Almost a year in and this knife is still the best knife I've ever used. I'm sure there are other reviews and comparisons with other brands but here are the main points that I think makes this knife stand out. Skinny handle-Great for people with smaller hands and it has dimples to increase grip. The ...
