Global G-80 Santoku Knife 18cm Fluted Blade, Versatile Japanese Chef’s Knife for Cooking, Chopping & Slicing, Premium All Stainless Steel Sharp Cook’s Knife, All Purpose Kitchen Knife Made in Japan

Bought as a gift - my partner described it as a “light sabre cutting through bread”. Super sharp and the high quality we expect from Global knives.

Great knife to use it a professional kitchen. The global range is a great range and I have never had a problem with them. Highly recommend to ahy cgef out there who is not keen on wooden handles. Very sharp with a comfortable balance. Definitely would buy again if needed.

This is my sixth Global knife. They are sharp, durable and comfortable to hold. If you love cooking, a worthwhile investment to your collection. I use this specifically for vegetable chopping and helps me cut down my cooking time. Contrary to the regular, Global chef knife, this one isn't great for chopping in a rocking motion, as it was really designed for Japanese meals in mind, ie vegetables, fish, etc. I'd also recommend the miosharp sharpeners for a foolproof and safe way to keep your global knives in top condition.

An excellent addition to my Global collection. First used the knife on a still warm loaf and was totally amazed by the cutting power. Very easy to use, comfortable in the hand and by using a simple sawing motion using the knife's own weight and the super sharp serrated blade it produces a straight cut edged slice - excellent !!! Also looks great as well. Highly recommended - well done Global.

We did query the cost initially, but using it for the past few weeks has made us thankful we definitely made the right decision.

I knew this product was excellent as it was one of a set we had but had lost this particular knife. My wife was going demented over it's loss, and potatoes were rotting by the ton as she refused to peel them with any other knife. The end arrive by date came and went and to preserve marital harmony I had to contact the seller. They replied promptly, investigated and then sent out a replacement. I am not inclined to blame the sender for the delay I suspect our knife became a Royal Mail casualty, but happily all is now well, my wife is happy, and I may overdose on potatoes as she overcomes her withdrawal pangs by peeling to excess. To those who have never owned a Global knife then nearly £40 may seem OTT to peel the spuds. Once you have owned Global knives however you are unlikely to ever want to use a cheap knife again. Our set of 6 varying Global knives is now complete again. The knife block no longer has an aching space where a knife used to be. The little one has returned and all is well with the world.

Great knife, only criticism is the handle is a bit on the small side for my big hands but that's the same for any knife!

I bought it at a really good price from Trepolar, the paring knife GSF 15 at 26 gbp. THE delivery is really fast, 3 days from US to UK, and the knife is in awesome condition. Just had a test cutting, it is super sharp, seamless and very comfortable in my hand as well, a kitchen must have. Very happy with the purchase, thank you.

...ein perfektes Messer! Als Betriebsleiter in einem großen Gastronomiebetrieb lege ich nicht nur im Beruf sondern auch im Privatem wert auf ein ausgewogenes Verhältnis von Qualität und Preis. Nachdem unsere Köche unbedingt Global Messer für den Betrieb nutzen wollten und diese dann auch bekamen, konnte ich mich bereits dort vpn der ausserordentlichen Qualität und Langlebigkeit der Messer überzeugen. Sie sind nun im Betrieb seit 2 Jahren im Dauerbetrieb und funktionieren immer noch Einwandfrei. (Man muss hier natürlich hinzufügen: funktionieren einwandfrei, weil sie ordentlich gepflegt werden, d.h. regelmäßig geschliffen, nie in die Spülmaschine..usw.) Auf Grund dieser Erfahrung nutze ich die Messer nun auch privat und sie überzeugen. Neben dem GSF-15 habe ich privat noch das G-5 und G-2. Sie liegen auf Grund der Gewichtsverteilung perfekt in der Hand und schneiden wirklich sehr, sehr gut. Das Messer nutze ich nicht nur zum Schälen, sondern auch zum Schneiden von Obst und Gemüse. Ebenso für Garnituren, welche auf Grund der Schärfe und Handhabung sehr gut gelingen. Dies führt jedoch zu einer Warnung meinerseits an unerfahrene Hobbyköche. Die Messer sind Profimesser, sie sind wirklich sehr scharf. Wer also nicht weiß, wie er sach- und fachgerecht mit so einem Messer umgehen kann und muss, sollte eher zu einem anderen Messerfabrikat greifen. Evtl. Zwilling mit breiterem Schaft und Klinge. Man kann sich wirklich sehr schnell mit diesem Messer schneiden und das endet auf Grund der Schärfe mehr als unangenehm. Zu dem oben genannten Punkt Qualität-Preisverhältnis: Wenn ich das Messer mit anderen Messern namhaften Messerproduzenten vergleiche, ist das Preis-Qualitätsverhältnis hier mehr als gut. Mehr muss man dazu gar nicht sagen!

just purchased the bread knife to add to my global collection. Very impressed. Does the job well, looks smart, and completes my set...(for the meantime) when I can afford to buy the meat clever I just might treat myself! Delivery and packaging all A+!

Excelente cuchillo!! Estoy muy feliz con mi compra

A great bread knife is essential. This one is pleasant to hold and powers through even stale or partially frozen bread, it has aggressive serrations that make it easy. If it is like my other Global knives I expect it to stay sharp for many years. It's not cheap but when you consider the cost of a lifetime purchase, it should be divided by the number of years you expect to use it.

Very fine quality. Great for sourdough - and left-handers! As an extreme left- hander,I've found that dept-store bread knives are not bevelled finely enough for us to cut evenly. This one does - well worth the price!
