Global 5.5-in. Small Vegetable Cleaver  Product Reviews

"A friend of my girlfriend came over to cook dinner with us one night and brought her Global knife. After using it to cut vegetables and meat we were very impressed. It is perfectly balanced and very lightweight. The blade is super sharp so the carrots don't go flying off the cutting board while you're chopping them. My girlfriend especially liked the knife so I went on the Amazon and bought her one. Although I have never owned a quality knife before, so I cannot compare, I am very happy with this knife and would like to collect the entire set."

"I never forgot that he mentioned this knife brand as a more affordable alternative in Kitchen Confidential. It's still pretty expensive for me but it is the sharpest knife I own and now I can slice ginger thinly so soup making has been a much better experience for me. I like that is is one piece of metal. It's not slippery when wet. I've sliced frozen fish and meat as well as veggies and scallions. This was a positive experience although I still feel like a traitor to frugality for buying it. I really enjoy this knife although I've gotten some pretty bad cuts. I was finally compelled to buy this after success with the recipes in Fuzzy Dunlop's Sichuan cookbook. This price wasn't quite as high as other styles and it was less than ten dollars more than the next smaller size so I thought this one would be good value. It IS so good that it motivated me to buy more cutting boards. This knife IS the only one I reach for and it has made food prep and the cooking experience much easier, less stressful."

"I bought the Global veggie knife after reading the raves here on Amazon, and the thing is fantastic. It's wicked sharp, lightweight, comfortable to hold, and just the right size. Makes chopping a pleasure!"

"You can't go wrong with this knife. I use it almost as much as I use my 8 inch chef's knife. It holds an edge well, feels light in your hand, and has perfect ballance."
