Product Description
This 9-Piece Set Includes the following eight knives: 7-in. Asian Chef's Knife for all Purpose Work (G-4) 8.25-in. Carving Knife for Slicing and Carving Meat (G-3) 8.75-in. Bread Knife (G-9) 5.25-in.

Serrated Utility Knife is Ideal for Slicing into Foods with a Thick or Tough Skin (GS14) 3-in. Paring Knife for Peeling and Coring (GSF15) The stylish cutlery block keeps your prized Global knives safely contained in one place. That way, your knives aren't left lying around in a drawer. The cutlery block is made of stainless steel and has 11 slots to accommodate 10 knives and 1 slot for the diamond sharpening steel. 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 fatig

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.

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.
Live,Love,Cook,Eat and Drink Like You Mean it!!
