I don't know if you did the fast vertical chopping for demonstration reasons for this video..to prove this knife can do those cuts easily...if it's your own style when you use the knife I would have bought a Sentuku or something with a flatter edge. I'd like to see Global with a chef's knife that has a rounder belly where the tip is closer to the spine (Messermeister has one, Zwilling PRO line has one...)

You saw it right. I just did so to have some fun. of course the chef's knife is not made for chopping motion as you stated, but it is more satisfying to watch it chop than slice. That was the sole reason...

Novice here. Using the honing rod is ok on a quality blade? I thought they were only for “beater knives.” Good to see. 👍

Hi, honing steel is good for every knife. it does not sharpen the blade, as it just temporarily straightens the bent or dented parts of the blade. Expensive knives hold their edge relatively longer than cheap knives, but can still benefit from honing rod.

@@SoulfulBowl Thanks. I just discovered that a honing rod is yet again different from a sharpening steel/rod. I’m guess the sharpening steel by definition is best for attaining a quick edge.

@@onedirection3510 there is no such thing as a sharpening steel, it’s the same as a honing steel. Honing a blade straightens the blade microscopically, making it feel sharper. It does not create a new edge, this can only be done on a whetstone. Hope this helps.

The good outdoor/pocketknife reviewers go into waaaaaaay more detail about knives and their practical advantages and disadvantages. Sure, there is less variation with cooking knives, but I never see anyone do hard testing to determine comfort, edge retention, durability, or build quality. Sometimes one or two are mentioned, but never outside of the context of using it for ten minutes after getting it out of the packaging. I always hear marketing BS read from a website or a box without much analysis of what it actually means (if it means anything) along with half a video of generic activities that any knife of a similar design could do. Guess it's a different market with a different mentality.

There's not much to be said about cooking knives, relative to outdoor knives. A Global knife is nice and sharp right out the box and keeps its edge for a decently long time after if you don't abuse it by dragging its edge across the cutting board (which a lot of novice cooks do and it drives me mad), or cutting with it on a surface that isn't suitable (like a glass plate). If the knife loses its cutting ability a bit, you use a honing steel to bring it back to its former sharpness. When that fails, you resharpen it on a whetstone and the cycle repeats. Overall, Global produces really good knives that are suitable for work in pro kitchens, and they're so easy to use and resharpen that a home cook will be more than happy with them too.

Bet you could have found another and reputable source to buy that knife than the usual-suspect evil empire with the big "A". Support your local knife shop (or at least your closest dedicated online knife dealer) they might even have better prices than "Big A" which is usually not the cheapest with branded merchandise.

But for the last couple of months I've been checking out all the top rated Japanese utility chef nakiri knives. So I know a lot about them I didn't believe Global was made in Japan sounds like an American name but yeah we'll be at my house tomorrow. Can't wait to use it

Hey, pls I need an advice. I`m between buying a wusthof classic knife 8 inch or this Global G2. The only two knives i`ve ever have, weigh like 180 grams maximum. I feel comfortable with that weight, is the wusthoff quite heavier?. And wich would you prefer to cut ingredients in a working kitchen?
@SoulfulBowl

Hey, Wusthof is significantly heavier(does not mean it is uncomfortable)than Global. However, if you are working in a kitchen, than Wusthof is much sturdier, so I would rather choose Wusthof. Global is great and light, but Wusthof will breeze through in kitchens.

Just look it up. It's the perfect knife for me because it is easy to sharpen. A harder steel knife will hold It's sharpness longer but is more difficult to sharpen. I think Global have got it right as far as how hard the steel is. After that it's all about comfort. If you were cutting things up all day you wouldn't want the Global handle. It's a great home kitchen knife, IMO.

I use this in a professional kitchen, it just has to be sharpened a little more often to keep a razor-sharp edge. It does sharpen quite quickly so no problem there. I have the G2 as well as my chef. We both love the knife- that may be partly due to the fact we both have smaller hands, but I would never trade it for a Wusthof, and I know she wouldn't either.

since everyone has different hand size, it is always good to go to the store to grip it in your hands and see. If your current knife works fine, it is already a good knife so I don't think it is necessary to purchase extra one, unless you are making a collection :)

Global sucks. They are rather hard to keep razor sharp for a professional setting, the handles are very small, the edge geometry isn't there.
