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

Ok, so they cut March 8, 2007

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.

I've owned them little less than a year and they still work great. They look very modern and sleek and it really cuts/slices well.

We had purchased some of the other Global knives and we very impressed with the quality & construction, but kept putting off buying the steak knives wondering if it was worth the price. You know, they are steak knives. How good can they be? After getting the first four, I have to say these are one of the best knives in the Global line! (The 3-1/2" paring is amazing as well)
The balance is perfect, and they cut steak like it has no resistance. Guests make comments about how well they work & the unique styling. When is the last time anyone made a comment about steak knives to you other than it's dull? Buy them, you will be trully impressed.
