Good starter stainless Japanese knife. Can maintain the edge for a decent time with a honing rod but pain to sharper with a whetstone.

    For the price I would choose a 210mm Tojiro instead.
    But this isn't a bad deal

    do you mind explaining why its a pain to sharpen using a whetstone? I have a global knife but haven't sharpened it yet

      Global's have a convex edge - so it's not just being careful with an angle against the whetstone, you roll the knife (changing the angle) during each stroke. The technique is harder.

      Some people have given up and ground it down to a flat edge, it makes it easier to keep sharp in the future.

      Not too sure. It could be the steel or the grind. Have found some mild success with the 2 stage global knife sharpener with the G2 but not with the small knives. Much easier to sharpen the other blue steel knives I have. Easiest is the $4 Kiwi knife I have. A few strokes on the 1000 King whetstone and it gets very sharp :)

    More than a good starter.

    I've got plenty of chef knives - but find that I reach for this one the most. Good length, nice weight, keeps an edge without drama. If you don't abuse it, it'll last you for many years.

    Not as good of a deal, but I would rather pay the $89 for this santoku

      Ewww…that plastic handle looks cheap after looking at the Global.

        True, but don't underestimate Victorinox. Great blades for the price. It's the trade standard

    • chillybags on 02/10/2024 - 16:49

      We bought a few victorinox knifes and they were very sharp on delivery and cut well. Throwing them in the dishwasher put an end to that though!

  • poormansBoy50 on 02/10/2024 - 16:43

    Bought one. Will it make my dishes taste better?
