Review of Global 10-Inch Chef's Knife

I own both wusthof-trident and henckels sets but this is my favorite knife.I wasn't sure if a 10 inch was too large and unwieldy but this knife is beautifully balanced and so light weight that I have had no problem.Another great featuere isthe fact that it is one solid piece so there is no yucky gunk that gets trapped in the haft or hinge area.

It sharpens very easily on a hardware store whetstone and for the finicky there are cheap knife guides available from the manufacturer to guarantee that you have the correct angle when grinding and sharpening.

If you want light weight with a very nice edge in combination with easy maintenace I would choose Global over either Wusthof or Henckels.For the style conscious -- it is very cool looking indeed.

Product Description
This 10-in. Chef's Knife is the perfect all purpose knife for those like a longer blade or for slicing large ingredients. 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.
