Global GS-8-2 3/4" Peeling Knife

Para mi un cuchillo bien elaborado debe tener todo el filo expuesto y despejado para que se pueda afilar en su totalidad, si es un cuchillo que necesita un filo agudo debe ser algo rigido, el mango y la hoja deben estar balanceados, ademas el mango se debe adaptar a la mano con comodidad; este cuchillo cumple todas esas constantes y aun cuando su forma es poco ortodoxa se adapta bien a mi mano que es de tamaño medio. Buscaba una hoja curva un poco mas larga que las tradicionales de pico de ave para lidiar con frutas como mangos grandes, toronjas etc y para pelar dichas frutas este cuchillo es fenomenal. Atencion el filo es bastante agudo ya que usa el angulo oriental y al tener un poco mas larga la hoja, exige concentracion para evitar accidentes, estos cuchillos no se deben afilar con las maquinas tradicionales ya que el angulo del filo es mas agudo y teniendo en cuenta que su acero es un poco menos rigido que los europeos, necesita ser asentado o afilado con cierta regularidad segun su uso.

I prepare lots of Asian meals and needed this knife to solve one problem: Jack fruit! It does a great job!

Very good knife, ensure you hand wash and dry

This knife is quite useful for a certain set of tasks; peeling oddly-shaped items like ginger roots, and coring some fruits. The haters of this tool need to take a cooking class or two.

Global makes the best knives out there for professional or home use

great for cutting up fruit and other small things. The handle is solid and just right as far as the size.

This is Ari Aroma, the Sage Chef of Sage Chefs,I endorse this product all five stars goes to global. Not only does this baby look dangerous, but it works just as good as global's original paring knife, all in skilled hands, of course.AA

I already initiated the process to return this item and am awaiting the shipping credentials to do so. We have been happy users of global knives for years, and had a peeling knife which broke over the Christmas holidays., which is why I ordered this replacement. However this knife has a longer and wider handle and the first time my wife used it, she cut herself. That is why I am returning it and will look for a smaller, narrower handle peeling knife.
