I have used Global knives professionally as a Chef/Restauranteur and at Home for many years. I still have the first Global I ever bought the 11" Forged Chefs Knife it has done alot of serious cutting and still looks new. I have many more now but that was my first Global and what a knife it is.

The ergonomics and looks alone would sell these knives but couple that with their edge holding and incredible sharpness and they are truly the Ferrari of knives. They offer a perfect nonslip grip for any size hand and the balance and light weight make using them a a breeze. Also the metal storage block not only looks cool but will not dull your knives like a wood block does. BONUS.

Considering that you will be passing on these knives from generation to generation the cost should not be a serious concern. There are no handles or bolsters to break (or gather germs) they are one piece of perfectly balanced steel. If you take reasonably good care of these knives they will last you a lifetime of hard use and your kids lifetime too. My Globals have chopped, peeled and sliced for literally hundreds of thousands of people. I seriously doubt most of you will put them through that. But it is good to know that they will take it in stride.

I even take mine on vacation with me, not all of them just the basic kit I refuse to cook without them. We take long vacations and know we eat better at the rented home or villa than at most of the restaurants in what ever area we are in. One of the perks of being a Chef, don't worry we still give the finer eateries a spin it is a vacation after all. The locals have to eat too!

You will thank yourself everytime you use these knives, if you know a foodie you really care for get them at least a starter set as a gift. They will love you for it and you will get more great food out of them too.

Life is too short to use cheesy knives! You know the ones.

I love these knives they are so sharp and well balanced, highly recommended for anyone that spends much time in the kitchen

Holds an edge, well balanced, beautiful design, and a very good choice for anyone that requires quality. Worth every penny!

This is a great set, very sleek and "sharp". However, we have had a bit of trouble with spotting on some of the knives even though we wash and thuroughly dry them every time.

Global knives are amazing, and worth the cost!Not only is the design innovative, edgy and slick, the blades are the best! They hold an dedge and cut smoothly! I recommend these to anyone who appreciates the best!
