I wanted to make it right this time. Over and over, I’ve bought kitchen knives that I thought were worth the bucks. In the end, they made a good piece of steel to mash my garlic and no more. I bet you have been to the kitchen knives’ aisle in your local departmental stores. Yes, I know, you don’t know which to buy. So was I. From the cheapest creepers to the expensive ensembles. They look great but would they slice your tuna nicely or they’d end up with a bowl of mash sea creatures? My dog might like the latter I think.
Okay, enough is enough. I wanted great kitchen knives this time. Talk about research, I’ve done them all. Yes, including Amazon! Luckily, I keep a copy of Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential. He mentioned in it that you’d be better off with a single Global Chef’s knife than anything else you got. Sound extreme to me at first but worth trying after my episodes of conniving knives.
Awesome just awesome! Finally, I met my perfect match made in heaven. Her name is indeed Global, Santoku Global. That was a year ago. There was not a day in the kitchen I didn’t enjoy. If you want to give Santoku knives a try, you’d be better off with the Global 3-Piece Hollow Ground Santoku Knife Set. It’s a popular choice among Global’s customers. In the set you will get the very popular Global hollow Santoku knife (G-48), a 5 ¼” Chef’s utility knife (GS-3) and a 3 ½” paring knife (GS-38).

Global Santoku 3-piece Set
What I love about the Global 3-Piece Hollow Ground Santoku Knife Set is that they are really sharp, like really really sharp! They are the sharpest knives I’ve get my hands on. They work like magic when I use it to slice chicken and meat. Probably, you don’t really need to be accurate and precise in your cutting when you do your home cooking.
But, for a wonderful cutting experience they are like none other. They are exceptionally light too making it comfortable for people with small hands. A hallmark of a great craftsmanship indeed. One thing though, the handle would not be to the liking of some people. Its unique design gives it a rather distinct feel, as to most Japanese Kitchen knives. You might need some time to get use to it.
