Product Description
This 3-Piece Santoku set includes 3 of Global's most popular knives. (G48) 7-in Hollow Ground Santoku knife is the all purpose shape found in most Japanese home kitchens. Global's version includes hollows on the edge of the blade to create air pockets between the blade and food, reducing surface tension. Fruits and vegetables, meat and fish are sliced effortlessly and with perfect precision. (GS-3) 5.25-in. Utility Knife is excellent for preparing snacks, sandwiches or salads. Great all purpose knife for those with small hands or those that feel more confident working with shorter blades. (GS-38) 3.5 in paring knife features a curved handle for a molded grip. Excellent for peeling vegetables and slicing citrus. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have

My absolute favorite knives July 2, 2008
Ethyl (Los Angeles)
I have many fine knives in my collection, but these are my very favorite. I like them so much I gave them to my sister and to my neice for her wedding. The balance is great and the sharpness unequaled. Worth every penney.
I'm a satified customer September 8, 2008

I did a lot of research before purchasing my first knife set. I'm a recent college grad and want to start collecting some quality kitchen equipment to last me a lifetime (hopefully). My initial tip on these kinves was from the book "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain - a great read if you are interested in exploring cooking and the restaurant world or "culinary underbelly" as I believe he calls it. Bourdain recommends Global knives in the book.
These knives are the sharpest I have ever used. They are also very light and a delight to hold - great craftsmanship. My mother kept a set of heavy German knives that were dull as rocks (I don't think she ever sharpened them, well maybe once a decade) and it was always frightful to use them growing up as I felt I'd cut my finger clear off trying to get a raw potato sliced (I loved making the mashed potatoes).
The three piece set gives you a lot of versatility. I've even *gasp* used these as an impromptu cardboard box cutter. One cool thing about this set is it includes a Santoku as the main chef's knife. According to Wikipedia, the "'granton edge' release pattern (scalloped) on the blades that not only adds style, but helps to release thin slices and sticky food after slicing." Cool.
Looking into sharpening options - suggestions welcome.
Thank you Amazon for the very timely delivery (it currently looks like they are on backorder or something, though).

Excellent knives! I love the design -- all one piece so they are very easy to clean -- nothing gets into the handle grip. It is such a delight to work with such sharp blades!
