Global Carving 21cm Knife

I've wanted to try a Global chef knife since reading Anthony Bourdain's endorsement in Kitchen Confidential, and it does not disappoint. The Massdrop price made it a no brainier. My wife has even taken to it. I've been trying to get her to use full size knives forever, but she's always preferred dinky little paring knives. Now the Global is the first one she grabs.

In the words of a culinary instructor I lived with for a time: "If I were going to work as a professional cook in some restaurant starting Monday, I'd get a set of Globals. They're great if you want a good knife that doesn't need to be babied."Spot on. My wife and I got a couple from our wedding registry, and I bought a few more when this sale went live. Some people don't like the dimpled steel handles because they can get a little slippery compared to wood, but that's the only downside I can think of for these things.

It was a Christmas gift for my brother, who loves to cook. The first time he used it, chopping the carrots and parsnips for the big dinner, he yelled out: "boy this knive really makes it easy!" Last Sat, my Bae cleaned it and put it in the drain board tip down. He brought it in to her to illustrate how she was supposed to handle it.It is his first professional knife and he loves it! Great buy!

Firstly Global knives for me are the just the best.. well balanced, sharp, light and good looking. If you have never used before you will fall in love instantly.As for this knife, I bought a great set of 6 Global knives and block from Amazon, however the set was missing a carving knife.... so of course had to remedy that. This was the one I chose, and it, as expected, was great. Makes short work of your Sunday roast without ripping your carefully cooked meat Completes the set perfectly... dont dishwasher though... take care

I've had this knife now for almost a year and it's my go to for cutting vegetables and fine prep work. Blade is angled very sharply which allows for accurate cuts without mashing delicate vegetables or fruits. Main critique is that it does not have enough support on the top of the knife if I am cutting through thicker cuts of meat or hard root vegetables.

Best Tip design Utility

The Wüsthof utility knife, critical in breakfast prep and lunch sandwich de-crusting, disappeared and needed to be replaced asap. The weakness with that knife was that the serrations started too far back, forcing the tip to do most of the work making it less than ideal for de-crusting.My knives of choice are the Shun Fuji and I was planning on buying the Fuji utility. But with my wife being the primary user of this knife I was worried that it was a little too sharp and the tip a little fragile for her style based on the reviews. After closely reviewing the full WS utility selection, the Global made the most sense for the intended uses.The Global has passed the grueling morning routine. The serrations starting close to the tip make it the superior crust cutter. ... MoreThe Wüsthof utility knife, critical in breakfast prep and lunch sandwich de-crusting, disappeared and needed to be replaced asap.

This knife is well balanced and has great craftsmanship. It also has enough weight on it. It feels good to cut with and I am a lefty so it is hard to find a knife that suits me.
