Product Information

From classic chef’s knives to bread knives, a good quality knife set will cover all bases, so you shouldn’t find yourself having to make do without a key bit of kit at the last minute. They are small rectangular stones, around 20cm by 8cm, with different levels of coarseness. This can range from 0 to 220 (extra coarse) to 5000+ (ultra fine). For most people, one stone with a grain of 1000 and another of 3000 will suffice. This three-piece set comes with the G-96 19 cm Fluted Cook’s Knife that is great for general use, like cutting meat or slicing fruits and vegetables. You also get the GS-38 9 cm Paring Knife made from pieces of solid steel and is perfect for when you need a bit more precision.

Lastly, the paring knife is small, sturdy and nimble with a sharp, angled point, which makes it best suited for deveining shrimp or segmenting citrus fruits for your gin and tonic. Are expensive knives worth it? If you are in the market for an option whose cost is on the lower side, then you might be better off with the Global 3 Piece set that comes with three knives to help you get started. To sharpen knives with whetstones, you need to soak the stones first and keep them wet as you sharpen. Some knives have rubberised handles for extra grip, others are moulded to fit the contours of the hand, and some designs combine the two.

This difference means that cooks and chefs looking to useWusthofKnives in an all-day work scenario will need a bit more hand and forearm strength. So if you are a chef who prefers a knife with a bit of heft to it, or finds using light knives challenging to manage, thenWusthofknives are perfect for you. The serrated knife, commonly used for fruits and bread, has small, grooved edges that mean it can tear through food easily.

The best practice is to wash knives in hot, soapy water and then dry them with a tea towel, rather than leaving them to air. We do always test dishwasher-safe claims, regardless. The combination of these high-quality knives makes them ideal for the all-rounded chef, allowing them to perform a wide range of food preparation tasks. From carving big pieces of meat to handling small, extra precision tasks, you will find a blade for every occasion. You will even have a blade for cutting vegetables, sawing through a tough crust, or peeling an apple.The Ginsu set had sharp edges right out of the box, which is impressive for the affordable price. Each knife is lightweight and sliced through paper, tomato, and diced onions easily. The paring knife we found to be well-balanced and sharp and a small serrated knife is included for harder slicing tasks, as well as a honing rod and kitchen shears. Though it doesn't include a bread knife, we found the small serrated knife to be able to slice through a baguette, and the paring knife easily hulled and cored the strawberries. Rat tail tang: The blade narrows as it goes through the handle and is commonly welded at its base. Knives with a rat tail tang can come loose over time, making the handle wobbly. Global launched in 1985, as a subsidiary of Yoshida Metal Industry Co Ltd. The knives are manufactured in the Yoshikin Factory, and the business is owned by the Watanabe family. In 1960, Yoshida produced a range of Bunmei knives, made from an alloy of steel that was considered as easy to sharpen as existing steel but made from a combination of molybdenum and vanadium. This Japanese steel is more resistant to rust, and in 1985, the first Global items were launched to an international market, starting in Germany.
