I was a line cook and the line supervisor had this knife. I bought one as soon as I could get the funds together. I used that GF-33 through countless parties and daily mise en place. Throughout the hundreds of thousands, maybe a million slices, chops, brunoise, minces etc. and puncturing open the occasional stubborn lid it has been never let me down. I used my beloved GF-33 for about 18 years and throughout those years it had been sharpened down to a knuckle banger.I retired it by giving it to a cook that loved borrowing it and I bought a different knife by a different maker because it was a great deal.The replacement knife was good but it wasn’t my buttery smooth GF-33 so here I am writing a review for my new GF-33. My new knife is just as good as my old one. Beautiful in form and function. Perfectly balanced and heavy but not too heavy. The steel is excellent. Excellent edge retention but not so hard that you can’t sharpen it on your own. Is it my only knife? The only one I use? No, but there isn’t a better knife than my beloved GF-33. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One Blade to rule them all.... *by N***E on December 26, 2011* I've been a professional chef for almost a decade now, and I've tried dozens of high-end and mid-priced knives including Shun, Calphalon, Henckels, Wusthof, Furi, and plenty of others. This is the best. Hands down. I had previously purchased the G-2 chef's knife and really loved it, but it just wasn't quite beefy enough to take down things like sweet potatoes, butternut squash, or cleanly cut through a chicken spine. The extra blade thickness (and weight) at the hilt is a huge advantage for tasks like shredding cabbage for slaw or finely chopping herbs. That being said, the knife is balanced so well it feels like a part of your arm, and is sharper than some of the ceramics out there. the steel is harder than all but the most expensive german lines, but it flexes more than the folded japanese knives. The result? The Global cuts smooth as buttah, stays sharp longer than a Pro-S Henckels, but doesn't chip or crack like a Shun. It's also just a really beautiful and elegantly designed piece of steel. Showroom-quality, as they say. The one real caveat is that you really need a ceramic honer to keep the blade in top form. Standard chrome or diamond steels just don't hold up. I recommend the Wusthof Ceramic Honing Rod. 5 years in, and it hasn't lost a bit of its grit. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost too sharp *by A***R on October 13, 2021* This knife is large, heavy and extremely sharp. Just not your everyday go to kitchen knife. A sharp knife will cut you. A really sharp knife will cut you to the bone. This one will amputate if you are not careful with it. It really comes scary sharp. If large heavy and extra sharp is what you need, this is the knife for you. If you want a general purpose chef knife you can get something more than adequate for less. ## Frequently Bought Together - Global 8.25" Heavyweight Chef's Knife - MinoSharp 3 Sharpener Black/Red --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4043517-global8-1-2-inch-forged-heavyweight-chefs-knife-japanese-stainless](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/4043517-global8-1-2-inch-forged-heavyweight-chefs-knife-japanese-stainless) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
