Recently, I was preparing a Julia meal for eight at my friends’ house and they had just bought a Global 8-inch chef’s knife. “Here, see what you think of this knife,” said my friend, Steve. I picked it up, sliced an onion in half and fell in love. It sliced through chicken thighs like they were soft butter. While preparing the meal, I found myself giddy every time I got to use it.
Later, they surprised me with a generous gift card to the shop that sells Global knives – this was for doggy-sitting for a few days.
Yesterday, I finally went to the shop with the gift card, for I needed a medium-sized saucepan and a stainless steel sauté pan. I had a good chef’s knife; a good one, not a great one. Fortunately, the store didn’t have the pans I was looking for but there were the Global knives in the glass case. I picked up the 8-inch chef’s knife and got that giddy feeling again. I had to have it.
After I got home with my new baby, I looked up reviews of the Global G-2 chef’s knife. I figured that good-old Wusthof and Henkel knives would still be the ones to acquire, but I was wrong.
My new Global G-2 from Japan has rocked the knife world. Take a look at this comprehensive review. It was at the top of the rankings in every category.
Sure, you’ll spend some money for it (about a hundred bucks), but I’ll fall in love and get giddy every time I use it.
You can’t put a price tag on that.
