Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global G-500/ST - 5 Piece Kitchen Starter Knife Set

Customer Review: The perfect knives for light and heavy kitchen duties.
Summary: 5 Stars

The two knives I found most useful are the Chef's knife, which is the one you will use the most, and the bread knife. The Chef's knife is lightweight and razor sharp, and can be used for anything, from cutting tough meats to finely chopping viggies. The bread knife is excellent because it doesn't dull as quickly as most bread knives tend to. Nothing kills me more than a fresh loaf of bread getting crushed because the knife wasn't sharp enough to cut from the top.

The other knives in the set, such as the carving and paring knives, are also very useful, depending on what you are cooking. All knives in the set come with Global's trademark handel grip, which makes gripping the knife easy, and there is less chance of the knife slipping, possibly lopping off a finger. You can't beat that.

For the price, this is quite possibly the best knife set you can buy. The knives are top quality, and will require only the occasional sharpening. For someone who is considering a career as a professional chef, this set is indespensible. But for any household, this is also a great and practical investment.

Description of Global G-500/ST - 5 Piece Kitchen Starter Knife Set

These five knives--8-inch chef's, 8-1/4-inch carving, 8-3/4-inch bread, 5-1/2-inch cook's, 4-inch paring--equip a cook to perform nearly all kitchen tasks. The two smaller knives' wedge-shaped handles are particularly well engineered for grasping securely with a relaxed hand. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Fred Brack
