Product Description
This chef's knife improves upon the original Global G-2 Chef's Knife; one of the best selling Japanese chef's knives ever made. The Global Model X 8" Chef's Knife is the multipurpose workhorse of the kitchen, providing the ultimate balance. The two most innovative features of Global knives are their edge and the way they are balanced. The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade, just like Western style knives. Made in Japan.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2024Best knife ever! Thank you Anthony bourdain
- Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2024Beautifully made and well balanced knife.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024I first bought a good knife when I splurged on a high carbon steel German chef's knife back when I was an undergraduate in the 70s. This new knife replaces my previous Global 8" chef's knife which was very good but not quite right for me. This one is actually heavier than my 9.5" Global chef's knife, which, like my previous 8", has a thinner spine.
I keep my Japanese knives sharp with a two stage 15 degree sharpener and with a sharpening steel. They are sharp. But this knife with a thicker spine is not only sharp, it's a joy to use. When Global started marketing in America, their knives would often break because Americans push down while Japanese tend to slice/saw with the knife. So Global reinforced their knives for Americans. This knife, with a 4mm spine that tapers down to 3mm about two inches from the tip takes this Americanizing to a new level.
My lighter 9.5" knife has a 2.7mm spine that taper down to 2mm about two inches from the tip. It's a great knife, and so was my previous 8" but this one feels special and is a real joy to use. It took a few days to adjust to the extra weight. The adjustment was well worth while and now I feel spoiled.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2023Anthony Bourdain was right. There's nothing wrong with Global knives. I've been a Shun snob for years. I love my Shuns and will never stop using them. But on a whim, I picked up the Global 8" chef knife to act as my "beater" knife. So far, this thing is just fine. It holds an edge very well, and it balanced. I just am not a huge fan of the grip.
