\nIt’s been a while since I last bought a knife. In fact, my kids have bought more knives in the past year than I have. While I have a great set of knives, I always thought my Santoku could handle most of it until I realized how often I was reaching down for my paring knife and my chef knife was way too long. Seems like I was in need of a nice pointy end to pierce instead of slice. After doing a bunch of research, I realized that I wanted to dive into the world of Global knives. The main reason is weight. I realized this after chopping, slicing, dicing, mincing, etc\u2026 for over 3 hours and my arm started to cramp up. I’ve found that Global knives are a lot lighter than the German blades. Aside from weight, I’ve been guest cooking and I like how the Global knives are just one piece without additional wood handles. The oneness of the blade makes it easier to clean and I don\u2019t have to worry about scratching the wood.<\/p>\n

I guess I\u2019ll dive into the other feature I like about Global knives. Balance. It\u2019s all about balance. For me, I enjoy using a blade that is balanced right in the middle. My second choice would be a knife that is handle heavy. Global knifes are generally balanced in the middle (at least the ones I tried out). If not, then they are slightly weighted towards the handle.<\/p>\n

So the Global 6 inch Chef knife is now part of my collection and so far it has been doing a great job. I will normally reach for this blade when I\u2019m working with meats. Then I leave my Santoku for veggies or precut meats. I choose the 6 inch because I needed something that will move quickly with me in a small kitchen. The 9 inch was way too long and took too much energy to do the small tasks.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the 6 inch Global Chef knife has to offer:<\/p>\n
