I got Global, GF#1 has Wüsthof which are really nice.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers. -
They're not that great, tend to lose their edge very quickly.Originally posted by mudskipper View PostGlobal knives are supposed to be good.
I've had Henkels professional for the last couple of years but am hankering after some Japanese chef knives. I still have rather a few sabatier professional ( it's what I got duringmy chef course), the boning knife is really good.
To be honest don't splurge unless you're a serious cook, get summat good and sharpen it every time you use it. Certain veg and fruit will blunt it really quickly. Two knives are enough.Comment

I've got a set of WMF knives that I picked up for cheap and are still going strong after 15 years. Just sharpen them when they get used. Saying that I've got a couple of old plastic handled Kitchen Devil knives that are even older and still take a good edge when you sharpen them.
Chefs Knife

and a vegetable knife

will do pretty much everything you need between them.
In fact I use the chefs knife almost to the exclusion of anything else unless it's a fiddly job like boning a chicken or something. I actually find the larger knife easier to handle."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment
