A couple of weeks ago I decided to indulge in a couple of new knives for cooking. I’ve been using a 9in Henckel chef’s knife for several years, but I’ve never been thrilled with its weight how it holds an edge, so I was hoping to find a knife that’s lighter and generally sharper (ideally requiring less maintenance to maintain that edge).
After extensive research (we’re talkin’ several days of intense internetting here), I settled upon Global knives — specifically the Global 8in cook’s knife and the Global 4in paring knife.
Not only are these knives lighter and far more comfortable than my old knives, they’re also insanely sharp. I am so absolutely thrilled with them that I’ve started telling all my friends to get them as well. The best part? I paid a mere $90 cdn for the 8in and $50 for the paring knife. They’re an absolute joy to use, the result being that I’ve been cooking more — dumplings, stirfries, soups, guacamole — basically anything that requires relatively intensive knife use.
Tomorrow I’m going to make some beef and cabbage dumplings, I think (chop chop), and a chicken soup (using up the leftover roast chicken from tonight). Double yum.
