Product Description:
This 8-in. Bread Knife has a sharp, serrated blade to slice through even the hardest artisan bread crusts.This serrated knife is also a good choice for breaking up bulk chocolate for melting and baking.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.
Amazon.com Review:
High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knives--of which this 8-3/4-inch bread knife, with a scalloped edge for slicing crusty loaves, is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety.
Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack

Rating: - It's a serrated knife...
Most serrated knives will cut the same as they are far different from a standard blade. I personally love Global, I use a Global 10" chef knife (24cm) for my Culinary Classes as well as the 3.5 inch western style paring knife but a serrated knife you can settle with a much cheaper one and get similar performance like the one from "F Dick" F Dick 7" Offset Bread Knife which is nice because it has an offset handle as well. I give this item 5 stars just because it is a quality bread knife, there is ... Read More

- Looks Great, Average Knife
I purchased this knife several months ago to finish off a new set of Global knives.It replaces a bread knife I bought at the grocery store when I was a student.Like all Global knives, it looks great, feels good in my small hand, and cuts nicely.I was surprised, however, to read all the other ecstatic reviews about this knife because I find its performance to be average, not significantly better than my 20-year-old grocery store bread knife.Don't get me wrong:I like the knife, I'm glad I ...

Rating: - Global Knives are the beset
I have tried a wide variety of knives out there.I quickly learned that Japanese knives are the way to go.After trying several Japanese brands, Global really stood out.I would recommend not only this knife but any Global knife to anyone looking for a quality knife.
Rating: - Great
It is by far the best bread knife money can buy.You will not go wrong.
Rating: - Another excellent Global knife
Buy this knife if for no other reason than it makes minimal crumbs when slicing baked products, less mess to clean.Also does an excellent job chopping chocolate.
