My Global has been slicing bread for three years now and guests still comment that it's "a really sharp knife". A low-carb disbeliever, and living near Seattle bakeries that are serious about their product, I eat lots of bread. Much mileage on the knife and it still melts through hard-crust Toscano Loaves like they were Wonderbread. Two more of these knives have been purchased for wedding gifts. Followup shows that the newlywed recipients didn't know that there were special knives just for cutting bread and are using this wonderful knife for cutting up everything. And love it.

Global knives are really awesome. This knife is amazingly sharp. Due to my own carelessness, I have actually cut my finger twice with this knife. I can assure you it goes through bread and finger with ease.

More seriously, because it is one peice, it is easy to clean and looks awesome. The feel is great in my hand and the knife is balanced.

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.

This was the second Global knife I ever bought. I've had it for many years, and the serrated blade keeps it cutting like the day I first took it out of the package.

Besides cutting bread, which it handles in a Godly fashion, this has always been my knife of choice when cutting large roasts, turkeys, meatloaf, and even cakes. The serrated blade helps grip the meat as it slices, allowing for a perfectly thin piece every time. And with the meatloaf (as well as pates and terrines if you're savvy with the culinary lingo), it's the best tool to use without worry of the meat crumbling as you make each slice. I love using it for cake and even cheese cake because the long thin blade allows you to cut from end to end in one long slice rather than hacking at it with smaller knives that just weren't meant for the job.

So whether you're looking for a specific knife for your bread or roast cutting needs, or just another pretty knife to add to your collection, this is the knife for you.

I have been using Global knives for about 12 years and love them all. Just picked up the G-9 Bread Knife and it is top quality like the others I have. If the price is in your budget I would recommend these for the quality, balance and the styling.

I love Global knives. They are very sharp and cut thru everything like butter. I am not sure that the bread knife can be sharpened but mine isn't in need of that yet. The weight is great and the grip comfortable. The price is worth it. Store them safely or you will hurt yourself and ruin the knife.

This knife is sharp! Great knife to have and it looks great with the rest of the global knives. I would recommend this for all households.

At first I was worried about the knife design being just for show. All metal with little dots on the handle for gripping was hard to grasp as functional. Once I got it and it never felt slippery or awkward in my hand I was sold. I just bought 2 more, 3 1/2" pairing and 8" cooks knife. Of course they're sharp but all knives are when you first buy them. What I really like is how balanced they feel in my hand. They're not cheap so I'll slowly replace a lot of my other knives and eventually we'll have a full block of Globals.

Global Knives are one of the best. They are not cheap, but I believe these will be the last knives you will ever buy. We purchased the water sharpener as well, and you need to have both to keep them nice and sharp. We love to cook, and a good knives makes that even better.

I first bought a Global knife six years ago. It was the 6 inch serrated version. Even after six years, the knife is still reasonably sharp. So I decided to ad another global knife to my collection and I selected this one. It is amazingly sharp, and because I now have two global knives, I am considering purchasing a knife sharpener to keep my knives consistently sharp for years to come. In fact, I plan on purchasing 3-4 more Global knives to cover all eventualities for cutting in the kitchen.
