    thanks, just purchased the Global G-2 20cm Cooks knife $78.11 delivered

  • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2017 - 15:37

    As I am looking at moving out (finally), how would you guys rate these knives? Are there any other brands you would give a go?

    • d3ft on 10/01/2017 - 15:40

      I bought a set a while back and while they were super sharp initially they dulled very quickly. There are visible dings in the blade of one and it hasn't really been mistreated.

      I get the feeling they are the Bose of knives…

        I bought a set a while back and while they were super sharp initially they dulled very quickly. There are visible dings in the blade of one and it hasn't really been mistreated.

        If you have visible dings, a whetstone can be used to smooth it out.
        Can't use these on extremely hard items such as butternut pumpkins.

        Sounds like you need german knives, they're heavier and thicker than a japanese knife, a little bit more durable, but can't be as sharp (due to angle of the edge) as a japanese style knife.
        Try wusthof, henckels knives.

        My favourite knife is still a $55 victorinox cook's knife, ridiculously good value for its price.

        I get the feeling they are the Bose of knives…

        They're the most well-known japanese brand to westerners. Not exceptional, but not too shabby.

        • goldtoothgoose on 11/01/2017 - 15:00

          Can you point me in the direction on the specific victorinox cook's knife? You sounds like you know what you're talking about!

          @goldtoothgoose:
          Depends on what you're cutting, this is what I use (stamped blade) when I'm not trying to hack chickens apart, the fibrox one is cheaper and dishwasher safe but I prefer a wooden handle:
          http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VICTORINOX-COOKS-CHEFS-KNIFE-ROSE…

          Get a forged (thicker) knife if you want to cleave things.

          @cwongtech:

          I just bought the 22cm rosewood as you recommended, now I want a good sized paring knife and bread knife, was wondering if the code would work on the vicnox rosewood bread knife if I buy that as well?

          Any suggestions on how to keep all the knives? like a wall mount or somehting? and maybe some good scissors/shears

        • cwongtech on 12/01/2017 - 15:45

          @RDY4WR:
          Personally I use this

          Could go for a magnetic wall mount as well but didn't want to do any drilling.

          I'm missing a paring knife in my tool set so I can't recommend one yet.. Knives online has the forged 9cm and 10cm Victorinox paring knife at $45 from memory but house has the El cheapo Victorinox paring knife (stamped blade) for $9 (before 20% off)
          Don't have a bread knife either, no need in my household, we don't buy crusty bread.
          For normal rectangular loafs the chefs knife will suffice.

      • goldtoothgoose on 15/01/2017 - 14:07

        It's worth mentioning that the guys at the sweet home recommend the Victorinox paring knife (stamped)

  • Lancerx on 10/01/2017 - 16:12

    Bought the Baccarat ID3 from house …wonder if this is even better knife? They're both made in Japan too .

    Also what's the big difference between all different models?

    • cwongtech on 10/01/2017 - 16:15

      Baccarat is an Australian brand. Global is a Japanese one.

      Also what's the big difference between all different models?

      Not much if you're referring to the sets, they all have the core paring knife, cooks knife, utility knife, the others vary, and also the block they come in.

      • Lancerx on 10/01/2017 - 16:28

        Well Baccarat says the ID3 is made in Japan, plus got free gifts and 20% off…

        Guess Global you pay extra due to import duty etc?

        • cwongtech on 10/01/2017 - 16:36

          I don't know.
          Free gifts are never really free.
          How are the knives for you?
          As long as you're happy, just stick with it!
          **Don't buy into this deal if you've already got good knives. **
          No point going down the rabbit hole!

    • bonus999 on 11/01/2017 - 15:00

      steel: ID3 - remium quality tapered Japanese steel vs Global - CROMOVA 18 stainless steel

      Rockwell hardness: ID3 - 53 vs Global - 56-58

      • Lancerx on 11/01/2017 - 15:04

        Would you say it's significant in real life? I just wanna invest in one good set.. If global is much better I'll just return the baccarat one.

        • OzBragain on 13/01/2017 - 07:57

          Would you say it's significant in real life?

          Depends how you look after your knives, most people forget/can't be bothered to regularly hone their knives. Any knife that doesn't get regular honing will dull quickly.

          The advantage of the harder steel is that, if maintained, will last longer between sharpening.

          The down side to harder steel is that the sharpening process takes a bit longer. Not really a big deal if you don't let the edge get too dull.

          Honing is keeping the edge straight. Sharpening is removing metal to put an edge back on.

          Whatever you get, don't clean it in the dishwasher.

        • Lancerx on 13/01/2017 - 14:58

          @OzBragain: Hmm…I was always wondering why not in dishwasher? It's just water and detergent clean inside anyway no?

        • OzBragain on 13/01/2017 - 16:20
          +1

          @Droid11:

          A well maintained edge has a very small amount of metal at the apex and doesn't take much to damage it. It will bend or chip depending on the steel.

          Dishwasher detergent needs to be a lot more abrasive…imagine trying to clean you dishes in the sink without touching them (with a sponge or brush) using regular detergent to remove the dried up food. There's the risk of bumping hard objects in the dishwasher. Even the crap coming off the rest of the plates and cutlery in your dishwasher hitting the edge at high speed will mean it dulls quicker.

          Wash (or at least rinse) your knives straight after using them. If you've been cutting something acidic like citrus or tomatoes then don't leave it long.

          Never cut on hard surfaces like glass, stone or metal. Wood's the best and if you want to get anal, go for an edge grain board.

          Not the end of the world but if you want to minimise edge maintenance, when you're scraping food off you chopping board, use the back of the blade rather than the edge.

          Yeah don't do a jamie oliver. The very least you could do is try to keep the blade angled when you do it.

    I ended up getting this 4 knife set and the 3 stage sharpener for $281.48 AUD.

    Was going to get one of the full sets but figured I'd be unlikely to use the other knives and read on amazon that while the knives are great the wooden blocks aren't very good quality.

    • G-Dawg on 10/01/2017 - 16:42

      Also thanks btw OP was actually looking today for a good good deal on knives for a present.

      Some bargains are clearly meant to be.

        Another magnetic strip?

  • RDY4WR on 10/01/2017 - 21:40

    Is it available on other knife sets too?

    Anyone know if you can stack with the thank you code too?

    Cheers

    • cwongtech on 10/01/2017 - 22:05

      Yes available on the knife sets, use this link with search terms "Global Set"
      Just check everten, kitchenwarehouse, petersofkensington and other ebay links to see if post 20% discount is a good price or not.

      With thankyou code, no you cannot stack them together :(

    Great price, thanks. I was about to buy the Glboal G-48 Santoku (which reviewed well on this article http://kitchenknifeguru.com/knives/best-chef-knives-six-reco… ) from one of the usual sites (Everten, kitchenwarehouse etc) so this deal came at a really good time!

  • kojihama on 11/01/2017 - 07:53

    What's the difference between the Global block sets? Are the knives different or is it just the type of knives you get? As in, why would I get Kabuto over Ikasu? Both 7 knives..

    • cwongtech on 11/01/2017 - 15:11

      Kabuto vs Ikasu, in terms of the knives - there's no difference. Only difference is bamboo block vs metal block.
      Different sets will have slightly different knife combinations.

  • Lancerx on 11/01/2017 - 15:09

    Help please knife pro out there… So many different model of Global.. How do you even choose? Say money is not an issue, which is the best you would go for? I just want a set that will last me in the next 10-20 years

    • cwongtech on 11/01/2017 - 15:14

      Is it your first "expensive" knife, by expensive I mean $40+ a knife?
      If so, go for a victorinox fibrox/rosewood. They're like the SSDs of the kitchen world.
      I still like my victorinox knife over my global knife for every day chopping due to the price vs performance.

      • Lancerx on 11/01/2017 - 15:57

        Yep, first expressive knife.. Used to be just using kmart or target one lol…why those brand? I kinda like global's design though

        • cwongtech on 11/01/2017 - 16:14

          Victorinox is just good value in terms of price($50-$60 for a stamped blade), holds its edge and performs similarly to $200 knives (as tested by America's test kitchen).
          Go for global if you like them :D
          My global g2 20cm knife just has a rounder tip compared to my victorinox 22cm.
          The G2 is better shaped for rock chopping that's all

        • Lancerx on 12/01/2017 - 02:30

          @cwongtech: on topic of global, which particular one most people would go for?

        • cwongtech on 12/01/2017 - 02:37

          @Droid11:
          G2 20cm chefs knife is one of the most popular.
          You only really need a cooks/chefs knife + paring knife for most things.

        • Lancerx on 12/01/2017 - 03:19

          @cwongtech: you're quite right..probably just gonna use one or two out of the 6 or 7 knives…but then I need a knife block…dilemma…

          All those different sets, is every chef knife the G2 knife? I'm confused here…

        • cwongtech on 12/01/2017 - 03:38

          @Droid11:
          20cm chefs knife in those sets are the G2.
          This is the knife block I have:
          Global ship shape knife block white, $90 delivered
          Stainless steel version is 113 after discount from kitchenwarehouse ebay (need to be a separate transaction, part of the csunny20 promo)
          You won't be able to use csite20 (knives online) and csunny20 in the same transaction

        • Lancerx on 12/01/2017 - 03:42

          @cwongtech: Wonder why Ikasu set is same price as Katana set, when it has more knives? I presume Katana is better quality? Or not..

        • Lancerx on 12/01/2017 - 03:43

          @cwongtech: good find on the knife block, but wouldn't it work out much more expensive if I decide to fill the knife block up with individual knife?

        • cwongtech on 12/01/2017 - 03:48

          @Droid11:
          Bamboo knife block vs bamboo + steel stand.
          Nice find with the extra knife, didn't even notice!

          Yes it would be more expensive if you buy all the individual knives by themselves vs buying a set, however when you buy a set you may not use them all.
          The knife block is only good if you have a few knives here and there, when you build your own collection rather than buying a set :)

        • Lancerx on 12/01/2017 - 11:48

          @cwongtech: Well, guess it's the knife set for me. First, gotta refund the Baccarat one I just bought on boxing day. hopefully they let me refund for change of mind. I think I'll just go with the one with most knives just to be safe (most likely Ikasu). Good to know I could always buy a new knife block if needed.

          P/S which knife sharpener would you recommend then? Cheers!

        • cwongtech on 12/01/2017 - 12:33

          @Droid11:

          hopefully they let me refund for change of mind.

          Legally they are not obligated by Australian Consumer Law to give a refund under change of mind.
          If it is unopened you could try spin it off as "I tried to give it to my friend but they were.. disappointed because they had their own already and I already have my own knives.."
          Good luck!

          P/S which knife sharpener would you recommend then? Cheers!

          If you're lazy get the minosharp ceramic wheel sharpener. It will restore the cutting edge very quickly :)
          The two wheel one is cheapest here @$32.18 delivered

          If you want to be able to repair your global knives if there's chips in it (cutting through extremely hard things, i.e. butternut pumpkin)
          You will need a whetstone and a guide rail. This is what I do :)
          This is the Global branded one with the guide, $132.14 delivered

          I bought a 3000/8000 stone from China from ebay + the same sharpening guides in the above set from peters of kensington, they are usually $12 + shipping or free click&collect, atm out of stock
          $12.95 from everten + shipping
          Amazon link here

          Grit guide to whetstones
          1000 - coarse
          3000 - medium
          6000+ - fine

          You only need to use a 1000 stone if your blade has chips in the edge, or is extremely blunt..
          You can still do what a 1000 stone would do with a slightly finer grit like a 3000/4000 grit whetstone, but you would need to do it for longer.

          Hope this helps!

  • Lancerx on 15/01/2017 - 12:28

    Is this sharpener https://www.house.com.au/product/baccarat-cuisine-pro-diamon… any good for Global knife? Or should I invest in better sharpener? House got very good special now

    • cwongtech on 15/01/2017 - 13:22

      Its ok, I would prefer the ceramic wheel. The one in your link will have two blocks of metal (usually tungsten carbide) angled to create a V shape.

      They will give you an edge, but not restore a chipped knife, then again a ceramic wheel sharpener won't either.
      Should be a good starting sharpener :)

      Just be aware if baccarat knives are a western style blade or a Japanese style one, because it will have a different bevel angle to a global knife.

      • Lancerx on 15/01/2017 - 13:32

        Which ceramic one would you recommend then? Preferably from house website if possible

        • cwongtech on 15/01/2017 - 22:37

          None from house.
          This one is unfortunately out of stock.. but I did mention in a comment to reply to you before, and at the time it was in stock

          @cwongtech: ah dam left it too late..ended up just buying the G2 by itself and the minosharp from Knive online for $7 more…I shall test one Global knives before committing big money. Apprently the rust issue is quite common among Global knife upon reading

          Very wise!

          Apprently the rust issue is quite common among Global knife upon reading

          I have rust on some of my knives too, not just Global, on my Victorinox. They're due to not completely drying the knife after you wash it, so make sure you clean your knives properly and wipe it dry with a towel/paper towel right after!

          Stainless steel still has iron content of it, so any moisture content that hasn't been removed will react slowly with the metal!

          I just use the highest grit (fine) whetstone and you can polish the rust off!
