Product Description:
This 4.5-in Utility Knife is a great addition to any cutlery collection, especially if there's a sandwich to be made, avocado to slice or orange to section.This utility knife is especially versatile and easy to handle.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.
Amazon.com Review:
High-tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan createda sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as analternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made ofhard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and 'face-ground' with a longtaper, rather than a short bevel, so edges remain sharp longer thaneven the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are groundat a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrivefrom the factory razor sharp. Although Global's original knives havethinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives,Global also makes a European-style heavyweight line for cooks whoprefer hefty cutlery—-such as this 4-1/2-inch utility knife. Globalalso dispensed with bolsters on most of its knives, including this one.Most Global knives have hollow handles, but the handle on this knife issolid.
Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They'remolded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller aroundthan many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooksto grasp, and the seamless construction between handle and blade ismore sanitary. This knife's wedge-shaped handle is particularly wellengineered for grasping securely with a relaxed hand. Global recommendsusing a ceramicsharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steelfor its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen Sharpener.Global also makes a sharpening guide set soblades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knivesshould be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warrantyagainst defects and breakage. --Fred Brack

Rating:  - hard steel
I've had my paring knife for two years.Sharp and hard steel, but will require sharpening stone to keep its edge.No issues with it and its used on a daily basis.
Rating:  - Some Drawbacks
I have owned and used my set of Global Knives for 5+ years now and have enjoyed using them.
One of the good things about Global knives is that they keep an edge much longer than do other knives. This is achieved by using a very hard steel alloy.
The down side of this is that hard steel is very brittle and care must be taken not to subject the blade to twisting forces or impact/shock.

Rating:  - Excellent blade, small handle
As with all Global knives, the blade is outstanding. The handle on this knife is really too small though. I'm a man with medium sized hands and a touch of arthritis and find that it can be a bit cramp inducing to peal more than a few pieces of fruit with this knife. Our other Global knives are excellent to my hand.
Rating: - nice knife
Global knives are top of the line.Beautiful ergonomic style.High-endCromova steel alloy for super stay-sharpblades
Rating: - Nimble, light, sharp
This replaced my Henckel 4 inch paring knife, which could never stay sharp.So for the Global works a treat.I'll probably need to get a stone to keep it as sharp as it was when it arrived, but a standard steel keeps it easily sharp enough to use.I don't know why I ever hesitated to buy one.
