Hey ! I make really good stuff because I put a lot of time, care, research, and passion into what I do.

I have the 10" version of the Victorinox Fibrox. Love it.

I'm by no means a knife expert but I've picked up discounted zwilling chef knifes for around $100 dollars that have kept their blade with very little maintenance.
No one needs a knife set........ 99% of the cooks will use 3 knifes at most. More does not equal better. Thats my thoughts.shikotee wrote: ↑ Thoughts on the Global 10 piece for $599.99?

I've been happy with the Global 3 piece I snagged a few years back, combined with Chefchoice sharpener.
Will be cutting up a whole raw turkey for sous vide - high quality boning knife would be sweet.
Higher quality bread knife and sheers would be useful too.
Would have several redundancies - guess I could sell them, or give my older ones away to my sister.
Was considering just grabbing a few individuals, but it seems the better deal is something like the 10 piece.
I guess I was looking for more feedback on the deal itself.
Every single thing you want to do can be done with chefs or paring knife. Yes, its nice to have a knife for every thing you might want to cut, but why????shikotee wrote: ↑ I guess I was looking for more feedback on the deal itself.
When you look at the price for the 10pc compared to how much those knives go for individually, it seems like a substantial deal.
I've been using the Global 3 piece for a couple of years, and agree that it the most utilitarian of them all.
I carved up a raw Turkey this morning using both utility and cook's knife.
Not the end of the world to not have, but a boning knife (thin and longer) would have been much more useful.
Like many in the covid era, I have been baking various sourdough/rye breads every week - my bread knife is skimpy, and would very much love to see how the Global bread knife would perform.
I'm also planning to do more cooks involving full birds (turkey, chicken, duck).
The shears would be very useful for spatchcocking the spines out.
I have the chefchoice electric sharpener, but do not actually have a sharpening rod (which would be useful for touch ups).
So - 4 items from the set would be very useful for me, while the rest would be dupes or not really needed.
It does not make sense to purchase them individually - the cost would be fairly close to the 10pcs set.
As mentioned - could consider selling/giving away the dupes. The benefit from having extras would be to put off sharpening, lol.
Lots of cooking at home, so would be used daily.
For bigger family functions, would also be useful for when everyone is helping with things in the kitchen.
I'm fairly happy with Global knives - this was my first purchase of a higher quality knife.
