Now I have the sharpest knife in the block!

published

Global, the brand loved by everyone.
They stay sharper for longer, easily cared for with Global sharpeners.
Stylish & convenient storage.
Cooking can be more CREATIVE and less of a CHORE.
Handle designed to better fit the shape of a human hand, perfection!
I highly recommend for anyone, they're a higher priced item, but they're worth every cent I guarantee.

Purchased in January 2021 at Kitchen Warehouse.

Great knives as long as they are maintained

published

I got these on 'sale' online many moons ago and must say that they are really good value for money... it's important to have a knife that fits well into your hands and these are very ergonomic.
The stand that comes with the knives consist of wood with perspex and if not kept really clean can look rather ordinary. The perspex can crack easily and one good thing is that both perspex sheets can slide out to be cleaned
Look after them and get them sharpened properly and they'll be with you for life. Oh and handle carefully because when sharp.. they're SHARP.



Purchased in July 2021 for $399.00.

Use your money to buy some other knifes

published

Rust spots appeared after using one week. They won't claim it in warranty. They said it is not manufacturing problem. It is sharp knife. But stainless knife should never have rust. I can only say the knife doesn't no deserve this price.

Purchased in January 2021 for $230.00.

These Knives are utter garbage

published

You pay a reasonable price and you might think you would be buying a quality product. Not the case, I'm throwing these away after a little over a year. These low grade, over priced knives are complete junk.

Unreliable guarantee, should you attempt to use this you will only met by denial and deflection. An unethical and unprofessional UK distributors,

Low priced knives replaced regular would provide considerably better value for money than this rubbish.

Great knives

published

My husband had wanted a quality knife set for years, so I finally bought him this set last Christmas. He was really happy with them and they look great on display on our bench as well. It has now been six months of daily use and they're still as super sharp as the day we first used them. Great product.

Same problem as everyone else

published

I have had this knife set for just over a year and use them most days but I have the same issue everyone else has, rust spots.

I have always followed the care instructions but still most of the knives have spots where the handle meets the blade.

for the price of Global knives, this should not happen.

Products not warranted for manufacture faults

published

Always loved my Globals except for continuous rust spots, especially near where the handle is welded onto the blades.

After the handle snapped off one of my 14” vegetable knives I discovered Global don’t care. They admit rust spots will exist and are excluded from warranty claims. They have ignored all correspondence regarding the handle failure. Very ordinary service and poor products for the price

Well you do know

published

Its not.only the knives that need yo be kept clean and dry but also the block. The inside wood would build conjestio. if not sterilized and cleaned you knives will develope rust off that as well. Get a knife bag.

Not bad but super dangerous!

published

Great knives although I did notice a little rust on them after using them for a few weeks. Just wanted to warn people about the dangers of these knives. They are super sharp and I have cut myself literally twice in the two weeks of owing them, the second cut was so bad I had to go to the hospital and get stitches. I’m not trying to bad mouth these knives but you really have no room for error with these and if you have pets at home or kids make sure they are no where near the kitchen when cooking. Great knives but use them with caution

poor value for money

published

Global knives look ok can hold a sharp edge but are not made to last or well designed and constructed, the blades can easily be bent and even break due to the thin blade & not having a full tang & bolster, the handles are unusually shaped and not ideal for most hands. tips are known to break, blades are also very prone to rust. when compared to less expensive knives eg mundial victorinox knives Global knives are not very good value for money.

Best ever!

published

I got these knifes as a wedding present and omg they are incredible, I made everyone in the house cut the lemon I was cutting.

They glides through everything without any problems, I just wipe them down after I've finished using them and then dry them with some paper towel and put them back in the holder.

Awesome knives

published

We got a block of these knives as a wedding gift 10 years ago, use them every day and they are still going strong. Rust spots can be cleaned off with steel wool (happens in the dishwasher) and we sharpen as needed with a cheap rod sharpener which does the trick. Worth the money.

Ready to toss

Nothing but trouble: 1st set replaced due to bluntness - 2nd set just the same. Tried all manner of sharpeners and sharpening implements but they just won't sharpen. Will go for a cheaper set next time - why spend so much money on knives that are forever BLUNT so absolutely USELESS!?

Rusty!

published

I clean them straight after use and rinse in water dry immediately and every single knife has rust spots! First time I have treated myself to a 'good set' of knives, so disappointed! Never treated my good old wiltshires so kindly and they are still rust free 5 yrs on!

Incredibly sharp, keeps a good edge and easy to sharpen

published

I've had these knives for about 6 months and don't have any complaints, however, I have been careful to make sure that I wash and dry them correctly. Out of the box, all the knives were incredibly sharp - so much so that my wife accidentally cut herself the first time she used them (although I also suspect this was due to her not being used to the length and weight of the 20cm cook's knife - which is substantially different to the more european style knife we had been primarily using). All the knives have held their edge well (I'll probably only sharpen once a month), and sharpening using the ceramic water sharpener is very quick and easy. Great set of knives (though I'd also be sure to only buy them when they are on sale!).

Global Knives!

They are excellent, the best set of knives I have ever bought (I've had a few) they are amazingly sharp & handle well, Just love chopping, dicing & slicing with them. I'm sure these knives will last me a very long time. Great product & very well priced at Kitchen Direct

Best Knives Ever

published

These knives will cut anything very easily, even the hardest coconuts! They look fantastic on the counter at home and have stayed very sharp for 6 years now. Would recommend them highly for the every day housewife/husband to a Restaurant chef. Absolutely very strong and worth every cent we spent on them!
Very good for all fruits, vegies.

I have just purchased this knife set, and all of the blades seem slightly bent or twisted. Is this just part of being hand made or should I get a replacement set?

My set isn't perfectly straight. For example, if you are holding the knife vertically (and you are looking at the knife from behind with the blade facing away from you) there is a slight curving to the left but it's not really discernible. If you are concerned, perhaps check out some global knives in person first (and compare it with yours) and then seek a replacement if you are still worried. Good luck.

I have been told not to put them in the Dishwasher, as this may cause rust.
I think you are best to contact direct the retailer from whom you purchased them.
Mine are perfect still.
