I am an enthusiast home cook, and someone who owns many knives of various qualities. Some less expensive, and some more expensive than this knife. I am exceptionally pleased with every element of this knife. It holds an edge, it’s forgiving when sharpening, it has excellent weight, and perhaps most importantly it’s the perfect length. It has become my go-to knife because I’m not afraid to bang it around a bit, and I know it’s up to the task. If you’re looking for a knife that will probably last you years of heavy use, or a lifetime of light use, I’d recommend this one.

This is an excellent knife!!! It is light weight but a workhorse slicer, dicer, and chopper. I use a ceramic steel before each use and it has maintained factory edge. My next knives will definitely be global!!!

This has been a great knife so far. It is very, very sharp and holds an edge nicely. I ws happy with my other chef's knives but decided to give the G2 a try. I recall Anthony Bourdain using one and that was a huge influence for me.

Incredibly sharp, lighter than my other chefs knives. Feels great in my hand. Doesn't slip even when wet.
