Global GF-31-6 1/4" Heavyweight Boning Knife

These knives are the best I’ve ever used in my 63 years of cooking. They are perfectly balanced and sharper than an ex wife’s tongue. No seriously, they are wicked sharp and cut through vegetables and meats effortlessly. Yes, they are expensive but they are a tool; a tool used every single day. You can spend just as much on a series of cheap knives needing replacement every few years, so what have you saved?Global knives were recommended by Anthony Bourdain so who am I to argue.My philosophy developed over decades of being an experienced human is: Buy the best first and you’ll save money in the long run.

This is a great knife. Replacement for one that I lost and this is even a bit better. Great feel in the hand, nice balance and a perfect flexible blade.

Easy to handle. Well designed. Light.

This is really a great knife and was an excellent addition to my growing collection of globals. i opted for the heavyweight instead of the flexible because i thought the rigid blade would allow me to steer it better. I have a friend with the flexible so i have tried both and i prefer the heavier, non-flexible blade.

This would have been my second Global. I love my 8" chef's knife. I bought this to replace a 30-year old Wüsthof Grand Prix. I'm small and this knife was too heavy and the blade too thick for my preference. I also found it to be quite dull in places on the blade out of the box. I'm returning it.

This has been another addition to the Global knives for my Husband. He is starting cooking school soon and we are hoping that he can use these knives. If not we enjoy them in our home anyway. The order was prompt and the packaging was very sound.Thank You!

Good quality

Lets start out with the fact I'm a professional meat cutter. I use boning knives everyday and went looking for a top notch, high quality knife. After extensive research I decided with this product. I am disappointed.My twenty dollar victorinox came with a better edge, not only that, it STILL has a better edge after two years of daily use. My second complaint is that it doesn't have a decent point to it. Has this knife already been jammed into a steel? For $140 (After tax and shipping) this is ridiculous.I suppose it's a good hunk of stainless steel, BUT is NOT usable out of box. First thing I have to do with this knife is sharpen it, and put a good point on it.Bottom line, go with victorinox over global. I haven't put this knife to the true test, but only years of work will determine that.
