Global7 Inch Vegetable Knife - Lightweight Japanese Stainless Steel, Razor-Sharp Edge, Made in Japan, G-45

I have had all of the favorite kitchen knives over the years, old German carbon steal, new German stainless, and even a few rather nice Japanese Nakiri knives of the same price as the Global. Really, I feel like my life in the kitchen has been wasted all of those years since I brought this knife into my life. It is the only knife I use now. It's ergonomics allow for the finest garlic to boning out a chicken, and everything in between. It makes prepping feel like sculpting, and never a chore just to get food on the table after a long day at work. The edge keeps beautifully, the balance and weight is perfect, and tall blade almost gives it a cleaver feel. Thank God my kids are finishing college and I can give them all of my old knives, and my home kitchen can simply have the best.....

I've owned this knife for almost seven years. For the majority of that time I've been a sous chef at a high end French bistro. I've been a knife skills instructor for culinary students, as well as a restaurant consultant. I've brought this knife to work every single day and it has seen countless food items, meat, chicken, fish, vegetables, fruits, you name it. This is always the first knife I reach for. I would rank this as one of the best mass produced professional kitchen knives of all time. It is a pure joy to use. It's a durable workhorse that holds an edge for as long as any knife I've tried. I put a sharper angle on the blade than came factory and if you have the skills to hand sharpen this to sub 10°, it's well worth it. It will keep the edge. The only downside of this knife is that you will not be able to efficiently work around bones that are in meat you'd like to save a whole cut. Overall an 10/10. Give it a try if you're on the fence.

I've been using a Global Santoku for 15 years. And I adore it.I cook a lot of Asian-style dishes, and wanted to try a different knife for all the veggies that I chop each week. Tried a few $40-range nakiri's and did not like the feel of them in my hand. So, I splurged and got this knife. I'm loving it so much, I think my Santoku's a little jealous!I used a Wustof Classic Santoku prior to my Global, I also had a Shun chef's knife, but used the Global all the time!I have small hands, and the Global knives fit my hands super well. I know a lot of people are not into the dimpling on the handle, but I like the feel of it. I prefer the balance of Globals to other knives. And feel like my Global knives stay sharper longer than other knives. I appreciate this as I do a lot of cooking (former personal chef, I just wrote a cookbook, etc.)

I saw the Pioneer Woman using a vegetable knife and decided to purchase one as my wife is constantly cutting up fruit and vegetables. I'm a big fan of Global steel & knives, so I purchased this off of Amazon.Out of the box this knife is extremely sharp. I sliced a tomato with it and there was 0% tearing of the tomato skin. Good handle and ergonomics, easy to see why this type of knife has become so popular. This has become my wife's go-to knife.I have some older Global knives and noticed that the G-5-7 Vegetable Knife isn't as thick. I'd estimate its about 20% thinner than my old Global 6" chef knife and 8" carving knife. Steel is still best in class IMO. I know from experience that this type of steel holds and edge extremely well, and also can be re-sharpened quickly with good results.I wouldn't recommend putting this in the dishwasher as that dulls the edge. Clean-up is quick and easy with this type of steel too.I still feel that Global makes the best kitchen knives, and these are good investments.

Having grown tired of knives that wont cut cleanly thru vegetables, specifically tomatoes, I decided to upgrade. The Global 7" knife seemed to get good reviews and was in my price range. I am so glad i did! The knife cuts cleanly thru tomatoes with very little effort. The metal feels good in my hand and is balanced well overall. Couldn't be happier and wish i had bought this years ago!

This knife is so sharp that it seems to cut veggies with no effort!

I am fortunate to have had many good knives to have tried. This is my favorite ever. I have small hands, and I am 5'1" and I have no problems using this knife. Great balance. I don't have problems with the knife slipping. After washing by hand I dry it and put it on a magnet. I have been using this knife continuously since purchase date. Aprox. 2+ years.I previously owned Wusthof, J.A. Henckels, and other quality German knives which I found to be heavier, and less balanced for me. For me this is the best kitchen knife ever- I really LOVE IT. What I did before I purchased it on amazon was check a bunch of knives out at a few local knife shops. This one was not recommended to me but when I found it and researched it I decided to buy it and I have no regrets, worth every penny and I recommend it- of course first try it to see how it fits you.(if you can at a knife shop).

This is my second Global knife and they are both wonderful and worth the cost. I hope to gradually replace all my knives with Global.
