Got this for Christmas along with a gorgeous maple john boos cutting board! I have several globals, this one might become my favorite quickly, diced potatoes just to see if it's equalled my veg. Knife, the blade glides through like butter. I could slice and chop all day with this one, have to get a whole chicken to butcher and see how it does! All in all, I am thrilled with all my globals and this one in particular!

Happy Husband

My husband had talked about wanting a deba knife. I found this one on Amazon. He loved this anniversary present! He couldn't wait to use it! It was a great price and works very well!

Excellent knife

Feel and weight of this knife exceeds all of my other knives. Global knives are the best and I would purchase again.

What a Blade!

As a professional chef, I would buy this knife again and again. The factory edge is amazing, I have never seen a knife as sharp as this, right out of the box. Even with the Deba having only one side it is extremely easy to sharpen. I have used all the major knife brands and I find the steel in all of Global knives to be of the best quality.You can not go wrong if you purchase of this knife!

Five Stars

Love this knife handles very well.

Great Japanese knife

Global knives keep their edge for a long time and are easy to sharpen. Also they don't tarnish at all.

An Excellent Investment

As a professional chef, I have had the opportunity to work with just about every brand of knife out there. Recently, my very first chef's knife which I had purchased 22 years ago, was stolen along with the rest of my equipment. It was one of the original Henckels 8" chefs's knives with a nice, thin bolster which is so hard to find nowadays. Unfortunately, the current trend is to make them thick and heavy. Originally, I had replaced it with a Wustoff Classic 8", which is a great knife, but the heft kept throwing me off and slowing me down. On my sous chef's recommendation I decided to check out some Global knives. The Global Deba is the first knife by this manufacturer that I have ever tried, and I am very impressed. My first impression was that it was way too light, and that the handle was designed for someone with small hands. That opinion changed the moment I gave it a test run on some zucchini. It is lightning fast and razor sharp, and the balance is perfect. I now realize that a thicker and heavier handle is necessary for control when you have a thick bolster. This is the perfect light all-purpose knife for any professional chef. The only thing I wouldn't recommend using it for is breaking down a whole chicken. You need to rely on the weight of a traditional knife for that. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it.

Not a knife for the distracted ...

Yep, this is the knife, and I mean this one. I'm sure that the other Global knives are excellent too (I haven't used them) but this particular knife is about my idea of kitchen cutlery perfection (i.e. super sharp, light, long and fine enough to handle most any job and very well balanced); however, this knife is dangerous (my wife won't touch it, another positive point) because it is so very sharp that getting a finger in the way will definitely mean a trip to the hospital. Be very careful (and somewhat afraid) and you'll love this knife and know what fine kitchen cutlery is about (and I've used all of the great German stuff too). This knife is just better ...

Another Great Global Knife

This is another great knife from Global. It's sharp and beautifully balanced and like all Global knives, fits in the hand wonderfully. All I use are Global knives. I have the left-handed version, so for those of you out there who are left-handed like me....Global didn't overlook you!
