Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Global GTF-4001 - 4 Piece Steak Knife Set
Customer Review: Ok, so they cut
Summary: 5 Stars
I use Wusthof cutlery but I couldn't bring myself to pay $250 for a few steak knives. I like what I've been reading about Global knives and I had some Global sharpening stones which were well made. So when I saw these knives at a more reasonable though still not cheap price I decided to give them a try. They're well balanced and have a substantial feel to them. There is a small serrated edge which I was surprised to see since I was sure I read it was a smooth blade which cut instead of ripped and sawed a cut of meat. But happily they are very sharp and they do cut precisely with little resistance. I would buy them again but can only say that they cut well. But that's what a knife is supposed to do.
Description of Global GTF-4001 - 4 Piece Steak Knife Set
This Global knife set includes the following items: Four 4.5 inch forged steak knives (GTF-001), Made in Niigata, Japan. Lifetime guarantee from Global with normal use and proper care.High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Thinner blades result in lighter knives. (Global also makes a "heavyweight" line for cooks who prefer hefty knives.) Though most Global knives have hollow handles, the handles on the four steak knives in this set are solid. Their 3-1/2-inch blades are finely serrated on one side. They also are among the few Global knives with bolsters.
Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. 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
