I recently bought the Global 8-Inch Chef's Knife, and it's been a game-changer in my kitchen. The first thing I noticed was its sleek design – it's not just a knife, it's a piece of art. But more importantly, it performs exceptionally well.
The knife is incredibly sharp, making slicing and dicing a breeze. I've used it on everything from tough root vegetables to delicate herbs, and it handles each task with precision. The balance is just right, making it comfortable to hold and use, even during longer cooking sessions.
What really sets this knife apart for me is its lightweight feel, combined with its durability. It's made from high-quality stainless steel, and after several uses, it still looks and performs like new. The edge retention is impressive, reducing the need for frequent sharpening.
Cleaning it is easy too, just a quick hand wash and it's good as new – I appreciate that it's low maintenance. Overall, the Global 8-Inch Chef's Knife is a stellar kitchen tool – sharp, durable, and beautifully designed. It's definitely worth the investment for anyone who enjoys cooking.

Razor Sharp EdgeThe 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, just like Western style knives. However, their edges are ground steeply to a point as illustrated in Fig. 1, and to an acute angle. This is in contrast to Western or European knives that use a beveled edge, Fig. 2. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge on a GLOBAL knife is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter of an inch or more up from the tip of the knife. |
Cromova 18 Stainless SteelCROMOVA 18 is a steel, with a special mixture of molybdenum, vanadium and chromium. The exact combination is our trade secret, but the steel is made to be hard enough so that the knives retain their sharpness, yet soft enough to sharpen with a whetstone. The high chromium content gives the knives excellent resistance to rust and staining. |
Functional Design Steeped In TraditionFrom its modest inception, GLOBAL has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, GLOBAL knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. GLOBAL has attracted much acclaim over the years and received numerous awards. |
Used By Home and Professional ChefsUsed by home and professional , Global knives are lightweight, yet razor sharp that help reduce hand fatigue. Global knives retain their edge longer than any other major brand on the market |

The first knife seems to be a real Global, but the second one is definitely different, and not a Global. Make sure you get what you ordered.
