Global2 Piece Knife Set, 2.3, Silver

I use this knife every day for cutting and chopping, mostly vegetables. We have another kitchen knife set, but this is the knife that I go to when I cook. By far, the best chef's knife I have every used.I hand wash it to keep it sharp and clean. It has accidentally been through the dishwasher a few times over the years, but that has not affected the quality. It stays sharp easily, and rarely needs sharpening.

Excellent sharpness and quality as expected from Global. Packaged nicely. Love the sizes and shapes of these, slim and precise. Handles are comfortable, but I wish the paring knife handle was a little wider. Still, I prefer a knife from one piece as opposed to a bolster any day of the week. Once you use global knives it’s hard to use anything else. A cut above, in my opinion.

Absolutely love these knives. Incredible sharpness and so versatile. We have a variety of knives, from sashimi to deba to cleaver, but these two are now pretty much the only ones we use.

My mom has a Global knife I've loved using for years when I visit. I finally got my own, and wished I hadn't waited! Slices everything from tough veggies to raw chicken so easily. Really worth the $ given I use it multiple times a day.

Love the Global brand knives. Very lightweight but quality made! A greta knife for a chef or home cook.

Love these knives that are now a part of our collection.

I literally just took this out of the box washed it and tried it on a grape tomato and did paper thin slices. I like the size (7 in) of the knife and I didnt have tomatoes sticking to the blade. It feels good to handle and the weight feels just right. The mid range knives recommended by the culinary school is ginormous and felt cumbersome. This one feels like an extension of my hand. This was recommended by one of the chef instructors. The paring knife also felt easier to use. felt like a sharp butter knife without a bulky handle. glided over the apple easily.So far, happy with purchase. Will update down the road. Would be nice if it came with knife guards.

Nice balance and feel but the edge profile is terrible out of the box. Either these knives were used before or global has poor quality control. Bought a set of wusthof knives before and the quality is much higher. That said I love the feel and blade thickness of the global
