“Drie tienen is wellicht te gek, maar... Het mes is fantastisch.
Ik had al een kleine Global en heb vol vertrouwen deze grote gekocht. Haarscherp, en heel licht in de hand. Verwacht net als met de kleine Global (meer dan 2 jaar in mijn bezit) dat deze ook lang scherp blijft. Mocht het iets aan scherpte inboeten, is het zo verholpen met de juiste slijpsteen. Hier een zeer tevreden klant.”

Global knives
The first GLOBAL knives were designed in 1985 by Komin Yamada whose remit was to develop a range of knives which was truly new and revolutionary, harnessing the best materials available and the most modern design concepts.
With an almost unlimited budget he was to fashion a series of kitchen knives which would appeal to the professional and amateur chef alike, be comfortable and easy to handle, and meet their most demanding requirements.
GLOBAL knives are made from the finest stainless steel material. The blades utilize Molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, ice tempered and hardened to Rockwell C56-58 degrees which holds a razor sharp edge longer than any other steel and resists rust, stains and corrosion.
Like most Japanese knives the blades of Global knives are thin and sharpened using a small - sometimes asymmetric - angle. This is what makes Japanese knives sharper than any other knives.
Another feature of Global knives is that the blades are sharpened all the way to the end. This makes it easy to maintain the edge on a sharpening stone.
Sharpening a Japanese knife
Japanese knives are sharpened using a much smaller angle than for instance European knives and are sometimes sharpened asymmetrical. Therefore these knives should never been sharpened on a sharpening device design for sharpening using a standard angle. Also we do not recommend sharpening these knives on a regular sharpening steel.
The ways to sharpen Japanese knives are:
- On a fine sharpening stone
- Using a ceramic or diamond coated sharpening steel.
- Using a water sharpener designed for Japanese knives
Use of a chef's knife
The chef's knife - also known as cook's knife - is the most essential of all knives used in the kitchen. It is used for chopping, dicing and mincing of all kind of food.
Chef's knives are available with blade lengths from 6 to 14". An 8" chef's knife is the most used chef's knife by home users; you will find it in almost any starter set. Professional users mostly use a 9 or 10" chef's knife or even larger. The larger size makes it more productive but you also need more experience to handle it (and a bigger cutting board).
The most common cutting techniques are chopping, dicing and mincing (see pictures below).
Chopping and dicing are techniques for making thin slices of e.g. cucumber or mushrooms. The index finger of the left hand is used to guide the knife while the other fingers hold the food. The mincing technique is mostly used to mince fresh herbs like parsley.

Zeer scherp mes. Zonder punt dus krast niet in je plank. Snijden gaat erg snel en licht, product valt er sneller vanaf dan bij een Zwilling/Henckels mes. Minpunt: je moet echt een snijdende beweging maken om gemakkelijk door groenten bijv. prei. | ||||||||

Misschien een wat matte score. Ben echter zeer druk geweest is de periode na de bestelling. Weinig gekookt, mes nog steeds niet hangen op een magneet daarom regelmatig mijn oude mes (lekker vertrouwd) gebruikt. Kan nog niet goed overweg met de keramische slijpstaaf, wetstaal vond ik makkelijker. Gaat er echter zeker van omen. | ||||||||

Zonder twijfel een uitstekend mes waarmee de meest voorkomende handelingen in de keuken kunnen worden verricht. | ||||||||
