For anyone who like knives, the name Global should be familiar to you.

Two great looking deals from Peters of Kensington

Global - 20cm Fluted Cook's Knife & 14cm Vegetable Knife Set $119
OR
Global - 20cm Fluted Cook's Knife & 15cm Flexible Knife Set $119

There is a $10 delivery fee, however if you are in Sydney, you can pick it up from their store.

I have the 20cm Cook's Knife at home and it is one of the best investments I've made. If you are thinking of getting new knives, you can not go past this.

Below is the text from the website itself for the vegetable knives set.

Professional chefs might be highly-strung types, prone to passionate arguments – but when it comes to Global knives, chefs everywhere can agree that these knives are the best around.

Global knives are renowned for their superior quality, their sharper-than-sharp cutting edges, perfect weighting, and their instantly recognisable design. Global draws its manufacturing inspiration from ancient Japanese swordsmiths, who perfected the art of sword-making to produce strong, sharp blades for the samurai, while also taking ingenuity from German and Italian fields of technology and design.

In short, if you invest in a Global knife, you’ll carry it with you, from one kitchen to another, for a lifetime.

Today, following both their nation’s time-honoured traditions and innovative nature, Global continue to produce knives of the finest quality. And, just like the swords of the samurai past, each Global knife lends distinction to the chef who uses it – amateur or professional.

  hm.. still trying to get ikasu block set for $279 that it has previously been

  •

    I was initially going to get ikasu, but the knife block itself is cheap looking. I ended up getting a knife block i liked for likes $30 on sale, it's stanley rogers i think, it's wooden and has those free form plastic sticks, so you can put whatever knives you want in it. Then just buy the knives you like.

      i can confirm, the knife block itself is not the best. the plastic panels on mine have come loose from the wood, so they fall out if you try and lift it by the wood.

      if you want an instant set of knives, and want most/all of the included knives, then it's probably still a good buy (and the knife block itself looks nice, in my opinion). but yeah, otherwise, you might be better off buying a nicer knife block and individual pieces, spending more on the important knives (ie. chef's) and less on the less important knives (ie. bread knife).

      i'm not fanatically for or against knife block sets tho…(some people are).

        Exactly. I actually bought this, since it was cheaper than buying the 3 big knives separately, the little knife was just a bonus. I didn't use the rack…ended up just giving it away but you could try and sell it if you really want. I now have the 4 knives, plus scissors and 2 little red scanpan cheapo knives in my knife block.

  Got a number of Gyuto blades made by a Mr Tanaka.

  This is an example of one of his knives from a different site I looked at http://www.chefknivestogo.com/tanakagyuto1.html

    you got a number of gyuto blades? in different sizes and/or different metals? or just for fun? :)

    i have a 180mm VG10 damascus gyuto. meant to buy a larger gyuto in a better and/or higher carbon steel when i was in japan, but didn't have enough time/didn't do enough research beforehand…next time!

    Used to live around the corner from PoK and judging by the number of hangdog faces on Anzac parade come Boxing Day, you're not alone in doing that.

  Decisions…decisions… the vegetable knife or the flexible knife…

  • 

    caprimulgus on 03/06/2014 - 15:26

    i would get the flexible knife, because it can do things a chef's knife can't really do properly. whereas anything you do with the vegetable knife could be done just as easily with just a chef's knife, making it kinda redundant.

    although, if you are unlikely to use the flexible knife and often cook with another person (or are too lazy to wash your knives while cutting two different types of things!), then the vegetable knife would be handy as a makeshift second "chefs". (that is how i use the vegetable knife in my global ikasu set…as a second all-purpose knife, rather than for vegetables specifically.)

    edit: actually, an alternative is to stick with the vegetable knife as a secondary knife (of good quality), and get a cheap filleting knife. personally, that is what i would do (for the reasons above, and because i don't fillet enough to warrant a fancy filleting knife).

  I had a Fuji Chefs Knife and it cracked just off the handle after a few years. The replacement now rusts relatively quickly if kept wet. Don't buy Fuji is my advice.

  As for Global, I would recommend any knife made of solid metal because less can go wrong with it over time, in theory.

  • 

    caprimulgus on 03/06/2014 - 17:02

    do you mean the fuji chef's knife made by Shun? or do you mean Furi? (don't know of a Fuji brand of knives…)

    in any case, my advice is don't leave your knives wet!!! (it's more important for high carbon knives, but it's good practice with any decent knife!)

    • 

      cheapy on 04/06/2014 - 21:27

      Yes, Furi. Australian Brand.
