    Very good price. Too bad my mundial knives are still great

      I have Mundial knives too. They're so good!

    • bargainerftw on 18/11/2015 - 11:14

      Time to try Japanese then. Once you go Japanese you can't go back, and Global is probably the best entry Japanese knives to get familiar with.

        Just dont be silly and dont try to bring it inside the cabin. If you put it in your luggage you will be fine. Declare it if you must

    It is a good price. Just bear in mind, that's not a sharpener, it is a honing rod.

    You'll want to get a whetstone to sharpen it every few months or so.

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 18/11/2015 - 15:30

      typically for rods made of steel yes, but the global sharpening steel is made of ceramic, so it actually does sharpen

        tshow is correct.

        A sharp blade has a very fine apex and will roll over itself with normal use. Honing is the process of straightening the edge and should be done at least once every time you use your knife. Most commonly this is done with a honing rod (steel or ceramic) or a strop (anything from leather to newspaper). Global may call this a ceramic sharpener but understand that it's a honing rod and you'll eventually need something else designed to remove metal to sharpen your knives.

        Honing your knives with every use will keep a good edge longer and mean less frequent sharpening.

        Here's well written description of honing with a nice pic at the end that shows an edge that can no longer be repaired by honing. Just ignore statements like "blade must be professionally sharpened".

          @Wally:

          Nice vid for learning how to sharpen with stones but doesn't really help the people here who are still confused by the difference between sharpening and honing.

          I'm not suggesting I know more than Mino but this video implies that Japanese knives don't need honing which I don't believe is correct.

        • moocher on 03/12/2015 - 14:46

          @OzBragain:

          Japanese knives don't need honing which I don't believe is correct.

          My hubby has a set of japanese knives (two deba and yanagiba), they are flat on one side so only need to be sharpened on the side with the cutting edge (that's why there is a need for different knives for left handed vs right handed people). He was taught by japanese chefs to use two sharpening stones - one that is coarse grit and one that is fine grit. He sharpens them almost every time he uses them. No honing rod is used.

          Edit: Thanks for the article about honing vs. sharpening. I see what you mean now.

    • moocher on 18/11/2015 - 15:38

      I use the same ceramic sharpener rod once in a while and it does sharpen. I test it by placing the blade vertically onto the surface of finger nail - if it 'catches', it's sharp enough for me.

      • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 18/11/2015 - 17:53

        It's probably because your edge had burrs that it straightened out, but I'm still sure that the global steel does sharpen. I'm quite sure they use the same material as the white sharpening wheel

      • [Deactivated] on 18/11/2015 - 19:17

        I don't normally use my Global knives but I do notice they go blunt very quickly, even with regular use of the honing steel (by regular, I mean after every use). They are much better after whetstone sharpening.

        The globals cannot be sharpened to "extreme" sharpness as it is a fairly low hardness steel, typical of stainless steel.

        The knives that I put aside for myself are high carbon steel. I wouldn't even dare put it against my finger nail. They hold an edge unlike the global knives but they are a pain to sharpen.

    Good deal for entry level but much prefer the 7 piece set for $299 which means you get SIX knives not 3…

    • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 18/11/2015 - 17:54

      Unless you have 3 people cooking in the kitchen at the same time you don't need 6 knives lol

      • KnifeEnthusiastBoi on 18/11/2015 - 19:48

        Anyone who knows anything about knives knows that you need 3-4 basic knives for 90% of kitchen work:

        Chef's Knife
        Pairing Knife
        Cleaver
        Serrated (Bread) Knife.

        The ones that global include in their 6 knife sets are gimmicky and unnecessary. I know this because i have one of these sets. The "vegetable knife" is just a shorter version of the chefs knife, and does the same job. The "Utility" knife is just a longer pairing knife.

        Given a budget of $300, i would buy myself:
        Tojiro DP 210mm chefs knife ~$100
        Mac Bread knife ~$120
        Tojiro DP 150mm pairing knife ~$50
        Kiwi Brand Cleaver $15
