Super-Sharp & Great Feel
December 29, 2011
These knives have an amazing feel in your hand. I bought them after carefully considering Shun and Wustoff brands. Be careful! (I know, obvious right?) These knives came razor sharp from tip to tail. I would recommend going to the store and holding one of the larger chef or santoku knives in your hand before buying though, as they have a distinct feel from other knives that are not constructed from one piece. Would definitely recommend.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Balance, Easy to Clean, Sharpness, Weight

Easily Broken
February 15, 2011
We traded in our knives that we received for our wedding registry for 4 Global knives and the storing block. We have thoroughly enjoyed them over the last 6 months, but we recently discovered the downside. The paring knife was accidentally dropped from about 2 feet and broke right in half. It fell on linoleum, and a knife that costs this much should not break that easily. We are having a hard time getting it replaced, and we found strange disclaimers about breaking knives on the Global website. There are lots of other great knives out there, and I think we will invest elsewhere.

love my new knives!
December 4, 2009
I decided this is the Christmas I am getting new kitchen knives. I did my research, read everyone's reviews - then headed down to Williams-Sonoma. Woo Woo! They were even on sale! We couldn't be happier with our set of 3 Global knives. I had been using the same knives that I received as a wedding gift as a young woman, so I use things for a long time - this will do it for me for the rest of my life. Thank you for this wonderful quality product - on sale!

How to wow your son at Christmas
November 11, 2009
My son is an excellent cook and has 1 of the global knives in his kitchen. This one was purchased in Memphis where he and his wife spent a month as she looked at schools for her residency. He needed a good all round knife as he prepared most of the meals. He was so impressed with this knife that his goal to have an entire set within the next few years. I trust Williams-Sonoma and this set will be the best Christmas present so far. The knives meet his need for all round cooking and will not fail him when he feeds the family

WOW! These knives are amazing
May 28, 2009
I am SOOOOOOOOO happy I finally spent the money on these knives. They're phenomenal. The chef's knife cut through a watermelon like butter. Unreal. I'm going to donate my old block set of 10 useless knives - these and a bread knife are all I need! Even as a serious home cook.

Great Knife Value!
April 1, 2009
I bought these knives to replace my original Global knives that were stolen. The knives are well-balanced, and I especially like that they are one piece, without a handle that can crack or hold onto food particles.

These knives are great! They are all one piece and stay sharp for a long time. I wouldn't use any other brand.

The best knives on the market
December 27, 2008
These knives are comfortable in the hand and super sharp. They are very well designed and because of the sharp blade almost no effort is required to cut, chop and slice. Be careful when drying the knives after washing because the sharp blades will slice through your towel. This set is all you need in addition to a good serrated knife.
