Review of Global 8-Inch Heavyweight Vegetable Knife

The first time I used this knife, I knew from that second that this would beone of the most treasured items in my kitchen.I LOVE it.I have Henckels & Wusthof knives, but this knife is by far the best.When I prepare a meal, my favorite part is when I get to use my knife.I cannot possibly express to you how truly wonderful this knife really is.Buy it!Buy it!BUY IT!You won't be sorry (except when you aren't paying attention and cut yourself)!I only wish I had the money to purchase a whole set; I will one day...

Update: I also purchased the "Global 10-Inch Diamond Sharpening Steel" and WOW - it's amazing.If your knife is a little on the dull side, run it over the sharpener a few times, and BAM!It's as sharp as it was when you bought it.Simply amazing.

Product Description
From Global comes this 8-in. Forged Vegetable Knife. GLOBAL 8-in. Forged Vegetable KnifeThe two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. The most important feature of any knife is its edge and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife. Global knives are made from the finest high carbon stainless steel available for producing professional quality kitchen knives. Yoshikin uses its own proprietary stainless steel which it calls CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to keep their edge for a long time but soft enough so that it is not too difficult to sharpen the knives. The CRO in CROMOVA 18 stands for chromium and the 18 is the percentage of chromium in the steel. This high percentage of chromium contributes to Global's good stain resistance. Care should be taken to keep your Global knives stain and rust free. The MO and VA in CROMOVA 18 stand for molybdenum and vanadium. These two elements give a knife good edge retention.
