PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 
 The chef's knife is the multipurpose workhorse of the kitchen. Perfect for mincing, cutting, chopping, slicing and prep work. The "workhorse" of the kitchen is perfect for cutting, chopping, slicing and prep work. 

 AMAZON.COM 
 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 also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 8-inch chef's knife is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. 

 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

The Global 8" chef knife is crafted from a single piece of stainless steel, giving it a distinctive look and feel. It has one of the thinner heels of any of the rockered blades we tested, and the entire length of the blade stays thin, which aided performance when slicing, mincing, and chiffonading. Its minimal rocker lets it perform almost as equally as well at chopping and dicing. 
We don't have too many complaints about this chef knife, but we will note that the handle was a bit small for our larger-handed testers. This made it difficult to obtain significant amounts of leverage while trying to cut through tough squashes. However, the short handle might just make it a perfect choice for those with smaller hands looking for an eight-inch rockered blade. The Global 8" is a great all arounder at an affordable price, perfect for putting through the wringer of everyday use either at home or in a professional kitchen.

 Make sure you keep it sharp and treat it like family, and this knife will treat you better than any knife I have used, and I own Shun, Whustof, Henckels 5-star, Sabatier, and other various brands. I am sold on global.

 I left mine at work for about 4 days whilst I was gone, and the head chef (who readily agrees it is the sharpest knife in the kitchen) used it heavily, disregarding his wuhstof collection. I came back and he had not honed the edge, so it had deteriorated well beyond repair to its original condition. Make sure you keep it sharp and treat it like family, and this knife will treat you better than any knife I have used, and I own Shun, Whustof, Henckels 5-star, Sabatier, and other various brands.

Excellent

 I was really disappointed because I was hoping to finally have a decent chefs knife and this is not it. Next step is getting a knife sharpening kit because this thing is as dull as heck and I can’t return it now 😑. Spend a little extra more money and get a true chefs knife

Got dull pretty quick

Good knife. Sharp out of the box.

 I mean that. SCARY sharp. Don't let anyone near the darned thing!  I then tried the knife on this product:  https://www.amazon

 (Which themselves are sharper than my older 8".) And I don't mean by just a little. It's night and day compared to the other three I just received. I almost cannot feel the Global blade as it slices through the red onions, bell peppers, and so on, today

 They were all received within a few days ago and I used them all for prepping vegetables, today.  This 'Global' knife is head-and-shoulders sharper than all three of the others. (Which themselves are sharper than my older 8".) And I don't mean by just a little

Very very sharp!

I suspect 99% of these reviews were written within one month of owning this knife, because it is pure garbage outside that time.

  To be considered a 'good' knife it should: -Be correctly balanced - Have a full tang (or something similar). NOT bonded. - Have metal that can be sharpened to the point where it shaves arm-hair. - Retain its edge assuming regular knife-steel use

 I have actually grown to prefer the weight of the G-2. After a TON of vegetable chopping, the light weight of the G-2 is a godsend.  The steel is not obnoxiously hard (HRC) unlike some other japanese knives, so any decent steel will do wonders on it.  In conclusion, this is hands down the best general Chef's knife I have ever owned

 - Have metal that can be sharpened to the point where it shaves arm-hair. - Retain its edge assuming regular knife-steel use. - Not stain (only applies to stainless steel knives)  The Global G-2 easily exceeds these standards. It's a 'good' knife

 They use the stamping technique in order to make the knife much lighter. There's a forged version (the GF-33) but it's heavier and has a solid handle. I have actually grown to prefer the weight of the G-2. After a TON of vegetable chopping, the light weight of the G-2 is a godsend

Absolute Perfection in a Knife

 So I sharpen my knives at least once or twice a week with the proper whetstones(plural). A flattening stone to assure the stone is straight, one rough to remove excess damage, medium grit to repair and a superfine to polish the edge. I have 5 global knives the g-2, g-21, gf-34, gs-3, and the gs-38. They are all excellent and serve their purpose

 So it must be sharpened regularly depending on how often its used. As a professional chef I use my knives almost everyday. So I sharpen my knives at least once or twice a week with the proper whetstones(plural). A flattening stone to assure the stone is straight, one rough to remove excess damage, medium grit to repair and a superfine to polish the edge

 Anything you have and cherish especially a knife(on the topic)takes time and dedication. I remember when I first used this knife, I was working on a cruise ship and this particular knife(the Global g-2)was one of its kind on the entire ship. For the entire year I worked on the ship this knife remarkably held its edge. It was used by more cooks and chefs than I can count and it still held its edge

 For the entire year I worked on the ship this knife remarkably held its edge. It was used by more cooks and chefs than I can count and it still held its edge. It never chipped or broke in half. It was only as good as I say because the plp using it knew how to handle and take care of it

Educate yourself on knife skills.

Sharp, nimble, incredible

Feels luxurious, very sharp, very thin and light.

 It shouldn't interfere with cooking at all. It's probably safer if anything because you can't really stab yourself or cause any accidental harm when you are cleaning it.  Sharpness-It comes sharp and it stays sharp for a long time. But how it keeps its edge really depends on how well you maintain it

 However it's sharp so you can use it to get better control when peeling veggies so you don't have to switch to your paring knife for small jobs.  Lightweight-Much lighter than traditional chef knives due to the design for the handle but it is still very well balanced. But if you're used to traditional knives, make sure you hold the Global at least once to get a feel for the weight before buying.  Point-The point is slightly rounded

  Sharpness-It comes sharp and it stays sharp for a long time. But how it keeps its edge really depends on how well you maintain it.

... a year in and this knife is still the best knife I've ever used
