We have a full set of Globals, acquired individually over the years. They’re solid knives, and better than any other big brand I’ve tried. My favorite kitchen knives, though, by far, are Miyabi. I have only two, but they’re incredible. I think I’d have to get on some waiting list for a Japanese knife maker who makes each knife by hand to get anything better.
That said, I can beat up my Globals and always bring them back to true. I’m afraid of working the Miyabis too hard lest I do something horrible to the edge.
