very well constructed stamped knife
By Magila
We were in the market for a flexible fillet knife of the "chef's knife" style, as opposed to the hunting style thin, crescent ones (that are often serrated and smaller). Global is a name brand manufacturer of stamped knives, so we decided to give this a try. *I had also seen this knife in the hands of many a sous chef on Iron Chef and thought that should be a good indicator for its quality.Apart from the commendable construction, the blade is in fact extremely flexible, and the knife itself is super light. If you are tearing into a large salmon, or meat, it is nice to be able to smoothly glide the knife's edge along without ever really feeling it in your hand. It has done an great job at holding its edge, and of course if you do sharpen it you will want to use a whetstone or send it to be done properly.You should be aware that this is longer than a 10 inch chef's knife, and therefore may not fit in many knife blocks. We purchased the Wusthof 35 Slot Storage Block, Cherry that works wonderfully with it. A magnet strip would also work nicely (or a drawer).Perfect for filleting. We still use our 10 inch chef's knife and YOSHIHIRO - Hammered Damascus Japanese chef Knife Usuba /Vegetable Knife 6.3" 160mm - MADE IN JAPAN knife for most day to day work, but in a pinch this would be a worthy substitute for most kitchen chores.Pros:-Quality Construction-Light-Flexible blade-Very long, providing smooth gliding separation-Holds a keen edgeCons:-Not cheap-Global handle (you will love it, or hate it. we love it.)-Long - so it doesn't fit easily in a knife block, but fine on a magnet

Buy Global G-18 - 10 inch, 24cm Flexible Fillet Knife

Global G-18 - 10 inch, 24cm Flexible Fillet Knife Product Description:

• Thin blades for precision slicing
• Face-ground with long taper so edge remains sharp longer
• Blades made of high-tech CROMOVA stainless steel
• Stainless-steel handles are molded for comfort and dimpled for safe grip

Product Description

Global 10-inch flexible fillet knife. This flexible knife is perfect for filleting and slicing meat. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18-percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.

Even manufacturers of those black handled, three riveted, full boltstered, heavy, beveled-edge knives do not believe in their product any more. Why should you?

High Quality, Great Cleaver
By Craig Cook
Top rated by Cooks Illustrated. Great balance. Cuts easily through bones. My first practice ended up with some nice marks in my wooden chopping board. Will last a very, very long time.Save your chefs knife and use this to cut through bones.

Superb Balance - But Flawed
By Piah Chuck
I use this cleaver regularly when cutting chicken up including chopping through bones when prepping for stock. It works very well, is a great weight, heavy enough to cut without becoming tiring. I have brought it with me half way around the world, which should speak for it usefulness.It chops bones, bangs through half frozen carcasses when necessary and is worth every penny.Above is my original review, now I must amend that. The cleaver broke in half. No, I didn't use it drive nails or cut rebar. The thickest bones it ran into would be in a pork chop. Not even a thick cut pork chop at that. But it split in half just above the handle just where the transition to the blade occurs. Quite surprising and totally unacceptable for a product of this price range. If you see one cheap at a yard sale, buy it. Otherwise, don't bang your bank balance too deep.I have, sadly, totally revised my view of Global and their quality assurance.

Happy I bought this before the $ tanked...
By Patrick M. Mitchell
I purchased this cleaver about 2 years ago, specifically to hack bones for stock (thank you, Edna Lewis! Best recipe EVER!). Perfect balance, weight, sharpness - this cleaver is truly exceptional - such a pleasure to use. The current price is kind of a "yikes!" moment, but you get what you pay for. I have no doubt that this cleaver will outlast me, and that's worth 145 bucks. Seriously, I make stock once a month. So in the first year, this cleaver adds $11 for each batch of stock (which still comes out less expensive than that supermarket crap). Over 10 years, it drops to a buck a month. And this cleaver will last much, much longer than 10 years. This is an investment, which is why it will never be available at throwaway Wal-Mart. I promise you will not be disappointed.
