  Knife experts: would this be a noticeable upgrade of my global chefs knife?

  •

    Yes just bought this on the last deal, i have a set of global, this knife is quite a bit longer than the global g20 chefs knife, i also like this handle a bit more and because of the length it’s much better to use for slicing. Also the cobalt core also feels a lot sharper

    Yeah I’d say so. This would should be a a bit sharper but also it’s a general all purpose knife

      I mean all knives need to be sharpened after being used.

    100%. VG10 will not dull as quickly as the soft CROMOV18 from Global, but the edge can be a bit more brittle. Take extra care. Dont bang it on anything metal or hard, cut on a soft wood chopping board, your edge will have better retention.

    Not an expert, but minuscule differences if any because of their similar thicc profiles/grinds. Save money…

    There's no way this is 79 times better than the $1 Kmart butcher knife and a knife sharpener.

      Sure, if you want to spend more time sharpening than actually cutting.

  Is this knife sharp as the ones we see in movies that when a tomato is drop to the knife's edge, it slices in half?

    I have a $600 Masamoto knife,not possible to do such things.

    Not out of the box, but it's easy to get almost any knife sharp enough for that with the right equipment, difference is how long it'll hold such an edge before dulling or whether it will chip easily.

  Unlikely to find a better cost/performance ratio than this imo, apart from a takamura r2 (prone to chipping if you're not careful)

  I have the Tojiro's santoku, it's relatively easy to sharpen and a great introductory Japanese knife.

  Folks, all kitchen knives will be sharp when you just got them! And all of them will get dull no matter the price! Learn how to sharpen and your 20 dollar knife will just be as sharp.

      For one cooking session.

      You ever wonder why Gordon Ramsay "sharpens" his knife before every cooking session?

      Because those western/german knives have soft steel.

      • 

        henno on 23/01/2024 - 18:28

        Exactly. Although soft steels have their place in the kitchen. Victorinox steel is pretty soft, but you can beat it up and the edge will just roll over so a quick hone and you are off to the races again… but you have to do it often. These knives have their place in my kitchen, though.

        A very hard Japanese knife will take an age to sharpen, but also require sharpening far less frequently. But some of them are so hard the edge can chip if you so much as look at them the wrong way. These knives have their place in my kitchen, though.

        But to assert that you can get any steel just as sharp as any other steel completely ignores metallurgy.

    The difference is in the edge retention: VG10 steel is harder than your $20 knife which means that it stays sharper for much longer. If you only let the edge contact the cutting board and the food you're cutting (ie don't put it in the dishwasher, wash it as soon as using it and don't just chuck it in the sink, also don't cut stuff on plates with it) you can have a knife like this stay sharp for a few months.

    With your $20 knife you'll be need to sharpen weekly to maintain the same sharpness.
