Chef's Knife

Product Description:

This 8-in. all-purpose Chef's Knife is Global's most popular knife. Your top choice for slicing large quantities of vegetables, fruit and meat quickly and effectively.

Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.

The best chef's knife I've tried

Would purchase again

I don't usually write reviews but I felt in this case I had to. I do a lot of cooking and preparing of foods and this knife is simply the best one I've ever used! I will be buying more from this line and getting rid of all of my other "professional" ones.

It's a big step to be willing to pay this much for a knife. But if the price didn't deter you from considering it, this is a FANTASTIC knife.

First - this is my first global, but the handle is fantastic. Made to be held...wonderful feel, nice and light. One of the most common complaints about these is that they are made for small hands....that is actually true. If you have big hands, maybe this actually isn't for you, but if you're female or have small hands, chances are you will long it!

Great balance...my first slice was on a head of cabbage and that was all it took to fall in love. I practically gave it no push at all...it just slid down like the cabbage was not meant to be whole.

*L* the biggest problem I have seems to be not dicing everything. This knife is just such a wonder to use that it's hard NOT to want to use it. I sometimes switch between using it and my Chicago Cutlery (which admittedly I used to think was pretty good...and it is not bad. I keep it sharp. But it is NOT this knife) just so I can remind myself what a wonderful step up.

Blade will take on anything. Meat, vegetables of all measure soft or hard. Food sees this knife coming and almost seems to politely separate itself :)

Seems to be holding an edge well...came sharpened (which is not always true of good knives) so I used it for a number of times before sharpening again. Needs sharpening after maybe every 6-8 meals? That's pretty good compared to some of my knives that need it every time. Cleans nice (do I even have to say it's a hand clean only? If you don't realize this...um, please do learn it before you get entrusted with one of these), no discoloration.

Beautiful, beautiful knife. It was my favorite from the first time I held it in my hand and took that first cut. Rests as a "prize" on the board that holds a couple of Shuns, a MAC, a Henkel, a Victorinox, and a Cutco. Some of the others compare to the cut, but between that and the feel of holding it, this one is the one that I love.

Strongly considering buying an even larger version of this for the few times when 8" just isn't quite enough. *eyes the butternut squash on the table*

What our Kitchen Experts Say

Here's a trick to remember the next time you're cooking with something leafy like cilantro: to quickly separate the leaves from the stems, hold the stems in one hand and shave the leaves off with a super-sharp chef's knife.
