This knife is very different from what usually passes with that name.If you want to chop onions finely you take half a peeled onion and make a series of cuts than run from top to bottom, then turn the onion through 90 degrees and cut across - each slice produces lots of tiny cubes of onion. Problem is the cross cuts tend to push the onion out of shape and you struggle. NOT with Global knives and especially this GS-5. Its razor sharp and cuts with very little pressure.Ordinary knives aren't so bad, unless you hit your hand quite hard with the blade you won't do much damage. With a Global knife it would be a trip to casualty and stitches. Treat them with respect and they will do jobs you can't do with ordinary knives.Oh,

If you only ever buy one knife it should be this one. My mum bought this for me as a house warming present. In my opinion Global produce the sharpest most well balanced knives - ever!You barely have to put pressure on the handle to cut through potatoes, carrots, or any other root veggie. I have used it to cut through a frozen shoulder of pork that wouldn't fit in my largest tupperware and it was as easy as slicing through a parsnip. I do have to warn you though - They are far sharper than your average knife and should be used with respect at all times.It stays sharp for ages and is really easy to sharpen with a Shinkansen Ceramic Sharpener.I have since bought a few other global knives of varying

This knife is fantastic for chopping. I first tried it on some potatoes, and it glided through them with such little effort, it felt like they'd already been cooked! However, this incredible sharpness can be a problem when you're an amateur like me! When I used it to chop some parsley I sliced off part of my fingernail on my index finger. Luckily it wasn't too large a piece, and didn't hurt, but it could easily have been a lot worse. I've since learned a new technique for finely chopping herbs with the GS-5: the blade has a slightly curved edge so it's possible to hold the knife by the handle, put the other hand on top of the blade (blunt side) and rock the knife backwards and forwards over whatever it is you're chopping.

As a semi-pro cook, I have owned Henckels, Sabatier and Victorinox knives which I thought were superb. After several years of deliberation (mostly over price) I finally bought a set of Globals and can say without hesitation that they are the best knives money can buy.The GS-5 chopper is probably the most used of my 12 knife set. The depth of the blade and razor-edge retention make it a joy to work with when chopping large or small quantities.As with all Globals, it is light well-balanced and comfortable but with presence in your hand and the smooth contours make cleaning a doddle (I simply run mine under very hot water immediately and wipe dry.I have no doubt that this knife will be with me

this is my first quality knife, and i couldn't believe how sharp it is. you have to concentrate like nothing else.it does make life a whole lot easier though, and cuts through veggies like they are soft butter.got mine from Giltsharp, and delivery was quick, so no complaints there.i'm going to have to get a different shape knife though, as this one doesn't have much of a point on it, which i find i miss occasionally, but that doesn't take anything away from the GS-5, I chose that design for a reason.just got to decide which one to get next! probably the G2 or G58

You get what you pay for. This is one of 6 Global knives in our collection and they are incredible. Regular sharpening to maintain a razor sharp edge is essential but that would be required of any knife! A knife is an investment and if you pay less you’ll end up replacing it. Our 6 knives are over 10 years old, used every day and represent excellent value for money. If I had to choose only one to buy it would be the gs5 as it’s very versatile. If I ever need another knife it would be a Global.

Without a doubt my favourite knife of the Global range. The size is perfect and it sits really comfortably in your hand. After prolonged use it can rub a little but that may just be my way of holding it, however I find it just right to cut everything from herbs to salad to hard root vegetables.If I had to choose just one knife to have in the kitchen, this would be it.

This elegant knife is sharp . Really sharp . Don't shove it in a knife drawer, keep it boxed , and it will serve you well .It feels very comfortable in the hand and cuts cleanly and smoothly. Its a good size and shape for general work .Tomatoes that would tear and squash with a lesser knife slice easily with this. Great for finely dicing onions.

I know these knives are pricey but they really are great. I find this vegetable knife to be the most useful (not only for veg.) and it feels good in the hand. They are razor sharp so treat them with respect. I am a bread maker so this knife is perfect for scoring the dough cleanly without drag.

These blades really are as sharp as advertised. They cut cleanly without crushing or sawing. It takes less effort to produce a more precise result.The thing to bear in mind is, if you are buying or giving a first Japanese blade, that they require additional outlay for ceramic sharpeners:

I love global knives, they make such a difference when preparing your food and make it so much more easier to cut! I got this one because we only had the larger knives which we also love and though this would be a nice addition to the kitchen which it was!

I find this specific global chopper knife to be one of a kind. Its shape and size gives it a nice balance with a very pleasant grip. I highly recommend it. Cooking with such knife makes a world of difference.

Global you just cannot beat the knife. I find this size is just right for all cooking from vegetables as well as meat. It is a little expensive but it will be the only knife you will need..

I have a number of Global knives. They are good quality. Easy to sharpen. Look sharp. A nice knife, but not so pricey that I can use and abuse including putting through the dishwasher.

Amazed how quickly my Global knife arrived. Two days from order. Knife is a perfect addition to my kitchen equipment. Would recommend Global knives to all.
