The perfect knife for multi-purposes
Just a warning, this review will contain some graphical descriptions of injuries. Definitely not for the squeamish people.
The knife may have some additional desires, but overall, it's the best set you can sink your teeth into, and of course, blow a few hundreds on. I paid a total of $90 at Bed Bath and Beyond, but worth every penny. Here's why:
Looks and Feel:
To most people, a knife is just a knife. To those who actually use knives on a daily basis, a knife is a blade designed for specific tasks, and not any knife will act as a universal knife for all tasks.

Another quality Global knife

The balance of the knife in my small hand is ideal, it is easy to grip, and the one-piece construction makes it easy to clean thoroughly. I even put it in the dishwasher without ill effect. The edge right out of the box was phenomenally sharp--I'll leave the gory descriptions to other reviewers--but it is a bit disappointing that I have not been able to re-hone the edge to that level of sharpness even with the recommended sharpener, which I also purchased. Food sticks to this hollow-ground knife just as much as it stuck to my old Henkels chef's knife. Overall, I would say that this is a good knife that is easy to use and clean with above average performance.
Fantastic knife
Fantastic knife - extremely sharp and nicely balanced. I've been using various Wusthof and Henckels knives over the years and wanted to try the Global. I am impressed and will get one or two more. The 7 in size is great for cutting and slicing...a little small and light for dicing and chopping.
Best Knife Ever!!
we are now global fans for life.
this knife is the best all purpose knife ever.
