Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global G-16 - 10 inch, 24cm Chef's Knife
Customer Review: Bought another
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so impressed with the 10" that I bought a 7" santuko. It is so nice to work with quality tools.Customer Review: A wonderful tool
Summary: 4 Stars
The Global 10" is a great knife that comes with a very sharp edge. It is rather light (at least for a 10" knife) and is well balanced. It is well situated for both slicing meats and cutting and dicing vegetables, as it is easy to hold the knife forward towards its blade for a quick and balanced wrist action. The only reason I gave this knife 4 stars and not five is due to the handle. While it is dimpled it can still get slippery when cutting fatty meat. I would prefer a synthetic handle covering, but otherwise this is a well designed tool -- perhaps the best chef's knife available now.Customer Review: Cashy, but very comfortable to use
Summary: 4 Stars
Very well made, but for the money, I would expect more attention to removing machine marks and burrs. I took one star away for the finish-I spent a little time polishing burrs and deep tool marks off of the spine. Otherwise the knife is sharp, well balanced, and handles very easily. The blade profile is a bit different, but it works well. I have no problems with the handle being slippery-the knife is light, balanced and sharp-you don't need much grip pressure to stay in control.Customer Review: Expensive, pretty and not easy to sharpen
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know what it is about this particular knife. I have no trouble sharpening my other Global knives. I also do a fine job with my Wusthof, F. Dick and others. I think the weight of this knife is also a bit light for a chef's knife. I love the santoku and the next size down from there. They are a great weight and balance. I would not highly recommend this particular knife. Globals are great for me, just not this one.
