Most of my friends know one of my passions is cooking. Well, actually it’s food in general. Some people eat to live, but I live to eat. I really enjoy learning new techniques and cooking for friends and family.
One of my favorite kitchen tools is an 8″ chefs knife from a Japanese company called Global. A great knife makes all the difference when it comes to prepping a great meal. The Global line of knives features a one-piece design that not only makes it very to clean, it feels great in the hand after a lot of use.
A sharp knife is a safe knife, so I make sure to use a honing steel before each use as well as take advantage of affordable sharpening services from the local gourmet store at least twice a year.
If you’re in the market for a new set of kitchen knives or you’re looking for a perfect gift for the cook in your family, I really recommend you check out Global knives (available at fine kitchen stores and on-line).
Any idea how Global compares to Cutco knives? I’ve been impressed with the quality of Cutco.
I have seen good things about the Cutco. They get pretty high reviews. The Global knives have a different (narrow Japanese style) angle & are made from a different type of steel. I like the one-piece design for reliability, and cleaning. Knives are like a lot of things, once you move to a quality product it all comes down to personal preference (hand size & technique)…
Great! That’s good to know. Thanks for the feedback and review.
