So, that's my brand. Actually - they cut fine. Of course, I'm a neophyte. ;-) steph Had to chuckle a bit at the brands of knives . . my oldest son sold “Cutco” knives while in college – just to family members and then he quit.

Kurt, I'm sensing that's a subject we might have to dig into deeper ;-).I used to love my chef's knifes until I got a Henckel's snub, which is both my desert island and my kitchen island knife. I love how light and precise it is, yet it's still got the grip of a chef's knife. I don't have the strongest grip, and I've found that the globals twist in my hand.

Also, I'm a big fan of the Japanese-made Mac knives. They're well balanced and maintain a sharp edge.

Practice on cheap blades! Seriously, though, I've recorded a video that will be posted here soon that demonstrates the proper use of the sharpening stone - so stay tuned! Yes!

I find the Globals are a good weight and size for my hand. I also have some Wusthoff and Henckels. The worst is going to someone else's house and finding nothing but supermarket "steak knives". The magnetic knife bar is a great way to keep them safe and at hand. Someone once told me the best knife is the one you’ll use. I find the Globals are a good weight and size for my hand.
