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.
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 like hefty knives, its original knives--of which this one is an example--have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. This 10-inch chef's knife, however, is intended for large-handed cooks and is relatively heavy. 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: - Works like an extension of your hand
Sometimes you run into a tool that just balances and handles beautifully, when you pick it up it seems to know what to do. This knife is one of those tools.
Coming from 18 years of using French style knives in institutional feeding operations I was apprehensive of the lightweight and narrow bevel at first but daily use proved that my worries were misplaced. This knife and the two other pieces I have of the same brand displaced my cherished Sabatiers as my go to knives. The lighter weight ... Read More
Rating: - the best knife on the market ... ( for this price ...)
I use the Global 10" is for meat cuts , of large steaks ,in only one pass,and also of course , for general use ( she is wonderful making slices of salmon )
The Global 8" is also great , but not for cutting steaks , in ONE pass .
If you have a large hand , the 10" is the best .
Rating: - Go Big--you won't regret it.
If you buy this knife, it will be your most-used kitchen implement. There are tasks that require a smaller knife, and you will need the right tools for those tasks as well. But the very first high quality knife you should buy is this one, right here.
It excels at the wide range of tasks normally assigned to the big chef's knife.
You'll use it more than you use all your others. Stuff you used to use your serrated utility knife for, you'll find yourself reaching for this one now. ... Read More

- Cashy, but very comfortable to use
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.
Rating: - The Global Flagship
This and a paring knife will easily get the casual cook through any task that might confront them, though it is quite sizable and likely to frighten the burgeoning crowds of soccer mom sommeliers looking to duplicate something they saw on Paula Deen this week. Like all Globals, it arrives razor sharp out of the box, but if you're handy with a water stone you can get it even sharper with just a few seconds' work. A lot of people like to complain about the handles, claiming they're too slip prone, but I've ... Read More
