The company’s Global 20 cm Cook’s Knife is based on the classic G-2, one of the best-selling Japanese knives. This model features a 20 cm blade, making it perfect for general kitchen tasks like chopping, slicing, and dicing. Full tang: The blade is one solid piece of metal that runs down the full length of the handle. On some knives, the tang is visible and fastened by rivets. A full tang knife is always the best choice, as it usually has better balance and a more robust design. It also means there's no danger of the handle coming loose from the knife blade. They are small rectangular stones, around 20cm by 8cm, with different levels of coarseness. This can range from 0 to 220 (extra coarse) to 5000+ (ultra fine). For most people, one stone with a grain of 1000 and another of 3000 will suffice. Half tang: The blade extends half way along the handle. If too much force is applied, a half tang knife can snap, as only glue is binding the knife and handle.GF and GSF Global kitchen knives are heavier. This European style blade is preferred by a lot of chefs because of this additional weight, and if you want a high-quality kitchen blade that will last for years to come, then the GSF Series is a good choice. From carving up a Sunday roast to finely chopping an onion, we all know how much of a struggle cooking can be when kitchen knives are blunt, or simply not up to scratch. But with our best kitchen knives, you can enjoy easy chopping, slicing and dicing for years to come. Global launched in 1985, as a subsidiary of Yoshida Metal Industry Co Ltd.

How To Sharpen A Global Knife – What Angle?

How we tested

To sharpen knives with whetstones, you need to soak the stones first and keep them wet as you sharpen. All the sets on our list contain at least five knives, which should be ample for most home cooks. Consider the dishes you tend to cook and look for a selection of knives that will prove the most helpful. Vegetarians, for example, are unlikely to need a carving knife. However, for roast devotees, it will be essential. CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel was developed specially for Global. It is a mixture of chromium, (CRO) molybdenum (MO), and vanadium (VA). It is a tough and durable steel that will retain its strength but is soft enough to be able to easily sharpen using a whetstone. This convenient and high quality combination is what makes the pieces in our Global sale such high quality. We would recommend this to a friend who wanted a stunning-looking knife set, though the performance falls a bit short. Using the paring knife was awkward, and the chef's knife was not as sharp as we wanted. We also missed not having a stand.
