Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global G-38 - 10 inch, 26cm Diamond Sharpening Steel
Customer Review: A must for Global knife lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
I'll be the first one to admit that this is a LOT to pay for a knife sharpener. That being said, I wouldn't buy anything else. It does such an amazing job sharpening my Global knives, as well as others. Just a couple strokes, and my knives are like new again. If you care enough about knives to buy a Global in the first place, you shouldn't hesitate when it comes to buying this.
The main selling point for me was that this sharpener works on serrated knives too. The sharpener isn't round like most; it's thin, so it can sharpen the individual teeth of a serrated knife.
It's a fabulous product, and it looks darn good too. Love it!
Description of Global G-38 - 10 inch, 26cm Diamond Sharpening Steel
This 10-in Diamond Sharpening Steel has a diamond-honed surface to keep your Global knives razor sharp. The steel is carefully weighted and features the same distinct handle design as the knives. This Diamond Sharpening Steel is terrific for sharpening all your knives on a weekly or monthly basis, depending upon how often you use your knives. 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.Although steels often are touted as sharpening tools, few actually sharpen knife blades, but they do perform the vital task of realigning, or resetting, edges, which bend when contacting a cutting surface or other hard object. Because this tool's chrome/vanadium stainless-steel rod contains hundreds of thousands of diamond particles, it's hard enough to somewhat sharpen a blade. Using this steel won't replace a professional sharpening job, which proceeds from coarse grinding to ever-finer grinding at tightly controlled angles. However, it will lengthen intervals between sharpenings better than a steel without diamonds because it accomplishes the final task of a professional sharpening, which is polishing the edge to a fine point.
Exceptionally well made, this tool's rod has a solid core and has been plated with hard chrome for additional resistance to abrasion and to extend its life. Because the rod is a 3/4-inch-wide oval, it exposes more surface and works quicker than a cylindrical rod. Like Global's signature knife handles, the steel's handle is molded for comfort and dimpled for a safe grip. The rule is that a steel should be at least as long as the knife blade being drawn across it, and this steel's 10-inch rod is long enough for most household knives. --Fred Brack
