| Global G-16 - 10 inch, 24cm Chef's Knife |
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..

Customer Reviews
- I don't know what it is about this particular knife. I have no trouble sharpening my other Global knives. I also do a fine job with my Wusthof, F. Dick and others. I think the weight of this knife is also a bit light for a chef's knife. I love the santoku and the next size down from there. They are a great weight and balance. I would not highly recommend this particular knife. Globals are great for me, just not this one.
- 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 meant less fatigue while the all metal dimpled handles guaranteed no cracked nor slippery grips when working with oily foods. Am not really sure about the claims about longer keeping edges. I cannot verify since I keep my knives sharp all the time (like a good chef should).
- 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 .
