Heads up: Cheap Knives Offer - Page 2

Globals are superb to cook with, glorious to use

Magnetic racks look the bomb and are more hygenic than most racks but there is a danger of damaging the edge slightly when you "snap" the knife onto them. Here we have always kept our knives in a drawer

If there was an accompanying fork for that knife I could throw all my other cutlery away.

Dr. Z · 05-01-2008, 18:38

You could use the end of the knife as a fork!

Glad to be of service moddum

They look quite nice to hold actually. Now I've learnt how to hold a knife properly, my current knife hurts my finger.

I've spent far to much on Global knives.

Now up to 7 of them. Cheapest was £30 and the most expensive was well over £100 - I just entered the pin when asked and didn't look at the number.

Love them.

I bought a similar set a few years ago, clamied to be professional quality and all that but obviously they weren't for the price.

I found them great - because they are all one piece they are easy to clean and I found them very light and easy to hold too.

£8 isn't bad for a set of knives, even if they only last a year.

as this is a knifey kind of thread - what are peoples opinions of these:

good buy? or not such a good buy?
i don't have a lot of 'spare' money - but if these are really worth it, i was thinking of spending my christmas money on them (instead of new clothes...)
at the moment i have richardson knives - will these be an improvement, or will i be wasting my money?

Personally, I wouldn't. I have a thing against Sabatier though.

I'd get 2 good knives. A ~20-23cm one and a slightly smaller one ~12-15cm and an appropriate shapener. Global knives and a Minosharp sharpener are my choice.

They will last a very long time if looked after. Mine are sharpened weekly.
