The magnet is very strong. Unlike cheap IKEA magnet where the knives slip down, the Global wall magnet snaps your Global knives securely. By storing your Global (or other) knives this way, you prevent the fine knife edges from being damaged.

In addition to that, its beautiful feature is compatible to your Global knife design, making a great display in your kitchen. The beautiful Global knives, a masterpiece of design and functionality, should be displayed, not hidden in your kitchen drawers.

I own:
- Global G-4 santoku knife
- Global G-9 bread knife
- Global G-12 meat cleaver
- Global GS-7 paring knife
- Global GS-4 deba knife
- Global G-11 sashimi knife
- Bunmei Yoshikin 1802 18-cm usuba knife

The Global and Bunmei knives are both manufactured by Yoshikin. All the knives above are very fine, sharp, ergonomic, and beautiful knives, a masterpiece. You won't regret investing in Global knives even though you have to save money for a long time before you can afford to buy one of them.

I am into Asian cooking that demands beautiful thinly-sliced vegetables so I prefer to have Japanese-style Global knives such as santoku, deba, and sashimi knives, even though Global deba knife design differs from the original deba knife from the Bunmei serie. But from all the knives I own, it turns out that I use the Global deba 10-cm knife most often. It is not too long yet not too small and is surprisingly very balanced. The triangular handle supports your palm nicely. This 10-cm deba knife is just right for various cutting work, from slicing shallots, oranges, carrots, cucumber, fish, to boneless meat. The one-sided edge makes the knife sharper than two-sided edge and makes it easier for you to slice.

If I knew from the beginning that the one-sided edge knives are sharper than the two-sided edge, I would have bought only the 18-cm deba, the 12-cm deba, and the sashimi knives.

If you are on a really tight budget, buy just the 18-cm deba knife first. It is much sharper than the two-sided edge santoku knife and is versatile enough for various slicing, chopping, and cutting work. If you want to invest in the cheaper version of the deba knife, buy the smaller one like I have. The 10-cm deba knife is versatile enough even though it may too short for cutting through big stuff such as water melon.

Happy cutting. Just becareful with your fingers because Global knives are really sharp.

I treat my Global knives like babies. They are comfortable to use, they're sharp, they keep an edge, and they're not made with wooden handles. These babies cut everything. I also have the carving knife, oriental cook and vegetable knife. Yes they're spendy, but you'll never have to buy knives again.

Beautiful and very sharp bread knife. The serrated blade is unbelievable! It cuts through even the hardest crust like butter. It even cuts deep into our wooden cutting board. We need a new cutting board soon! No kidding ;-)

Once you get hold of this bread knife, you will never ever want another bread knife.

We love our Global knives, the best on earth.

I use this for boning out deer and elk. It works wonderfully, and is quick and easy to clean. There are no places for debris to get stuck. The flexible blade is nice for cutting around the bone, and like all Global knives it is very sharp.

I have owned several Global Pro knives before most people in the U.S. had heard of them. I first fell in love with Global Pro shortly after my wife returned from Japan and gave me one as a gift. I love the true balance and feel of the knife...but most mostly the performance of the blade itself. It keeps an incredible edge! They are pricy..but well worth the $. In addition, the customer service is GREAT. As a chef on ships, I accidently dropped it into the ships running garbage disposal when the ship rolled in foul weather,. It cracked the tip off (almost stabbing me when it came out...dumb me) and I wrote to Global Pro of Japan and they replaced the kife at NO CHARGE without a hassel. Yes...GET THESE KNIVES ...they are the best! Happy Cooking! R Decker > BeachBoy1@aol.com

This was our first Global knife, and now we are hooked. It makes cooking a joy due to the ease with which things cut. We've got three other Global knives since, so we use this one less, as it is large, but still a wonderful knife. I assume because of the large size and the need to balance the knife, this is heavier than other Global knives. It now hangs off our Global wall magnet!

I OWN 24 PIECES OF EACH OF THE GODINGER CRYSTAL IN WINE, GOBLET, TOM COLLINS, SHORTS, MARTINI AND CHAMPAGNE---THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! THE SPARKLE AND SHINE OF EACH PIECE IS MAGNIFICENT. I PURCHASED FROM EVERY STORE I COULD THINK OF TO RETAIN THIS COLLECTION OF OUTSTANDING AND DURABLE CRYSTAL. IT IS NOT FLIMZEY LIKE MOST CRYSTAL BUT WIEGHTY AND THE PRICE IS OUTSTANDING. I WOULD INCOURAGE ANYONE TO PURCHASE ANY AND ALL OF THE GODINGER PIECES ALONG WITH THE CANDLE/HURRICANE VASES ALONG WITH THE COMPOTES ARE SIMPLY GORGEOUS! PLEASE BUY, BUY, BUY!!!!!!!!!!

I love these things. The magnets are strong enough that you can clip some paper and hang these on your fridge, and they won't slide down the door each time a fly buzzes by.

They have a strong, even grip and are far superior to clothespins.

The different colors let you coordinate bills, or perhaps categorize snacks or color label whose snacks belong to who.

This Kitchen Cart is everything the description said and more.
I have assembled many itens shipped flat, but this one is by far
the best quality and easiest to assemble. It takes time due to the many parts. The pictorial demonstrations are very good. The finish is also excellent. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a kitchen cart, or center island. Good Value!
