### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just What I Was Looking For
*by D***A on July 31, 2017*

After purchasing a 7 piece Global knife set I fell in love with their knives but my G2 Chef's knife (20cm) was not 'cutting it' when it came to larger vegetables. This 27cm knife is large enough and more than capable of handling any cutting job in the kitchen. This knife is exactly what I wanted! It's heavy enough to do most of the work for you but still very light and easily managed. It's also extremely comfortable which was a huge concern as some of Global's smaller knives hurt my hands when cutting tough veg like sweet potatoes. As with all Global products, it comes out of the box razor sharp so be very careful! The product came very quickly and well packaged. I am ecstatic with my newest knife! As a side note, plan ahead for storage. I bought a magnetic knife strip that's been working out very well!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Size matters
*by W***C on May 30, 2014*

A knife skills instructor once said "purchase as large of a knife as you are comfortable wielding." With this purchase, I now understand why. If you have a large cutting surface surface to accommodate the 18"/30cm GF-35 and are not intimidated by large knives, I highly recommend it. With a blade of 12" (18" measurement is including handle*), I recommend pairing it a board or block that is a minimum of 12" deep. The length of this knife allows me to let the weight of the knife do the work and makes repetitive slicing and shredding a breeze. I first used it to shred 3 pounds of Brussels sprouts into thin 1/8" slices. The easy rocking motion took much of the effort out of it. I now use it whenever I have a large batch of vegetables to slice. The stainless steel of the Global knives are not the best quality and require regular honing and sharpening. Be prepared to take care of this knife to keep it performing at its best.*This knife is really really long. In a pinch, it would make a very good home defense weapon.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ my favorite knife
*by A***R on July 11, 2013*

This is my first professional quality knife but I tried out many before purchasing. Sure the knife is long but it's not like the dimensions are hidden on the page. The edge is wonderfully sharp and combines with the weight to yield an absolute slicing machine. The balance is perfect and, if held correctly (google image search "how to hold a chef's knife"), the handle fits my medium sized hand comfortably. Since buying this about 2 years ago, I added two more Globals to my collection: the G-22 scalloped blade and a GSF-15 parer. I couldn't be happier with my Global knives.
