Global knife set 7 pieces Costco $349

Interesting but i was hoping for a return of the Global Synergy line.
Mostly because how can you go wrong with proper corporate synergy?

I already have some global knives and I’m considering purchasing some more, is it possible to buy larger blocks so that I could fit more knives, including a meat cleaver?

I’d like to be able to have all my knives in the same spot, wondering how other people manage this.

I was in the same boat as you but didn’t think of the meat cleaver... there are some blocks at the bay that go on sale every once in a while... I already had the chefs knife and another knife from a previous Costco deal but will end up selling them or giving them to family since this was just too good of a deal to pass on

Okay you Kitchen Samurais, nice set on at Costco.
Combine with $50 gift membership renewal coupon or $10 off email nice !

I picked up the 3 piece set, to be honest all most people will ever need (in addition to the knives they no doubt already have in the house).

Looks like 1194432‌ doesn't return anything.
Assuming it's this one? https://www.costco.ca/global-3-piece-kn ... 93562.html
It was $130 in October, now it's $140

No. It is the one I linked at Trouva, as its out of stock and no longer on the costco website = see a pic below.
I have found these three knives handle 95% of the work I need them for in the kitchen (cooking lots of Jacques Pepin recipes at the moment). I already had a bread knife and to be honest - any old breadknife will do, just look for one that has curved serrations rather than pointy.
.

Is this a good price?

Only if you don't own any knives at all. In reality this set is 1 chef knife. 2 utility knives (doing the same job) 2 paring knives (doing the same job) and a bread knife. You end up paying for 3 knives that you dont need, unless you are not using these as tools but rather conversation pieces, or simply for display/decoration?
My knife block at home has 3 x victorinox fibrox, 1x Zwilling, 3 x global 1x Ikea and 3 budget no name knives. All together they cost less than $250.

Comparison in MS paint (sorry) of what you are actually paying $220 for. keeping in mind that the OP set is $350. And Costco often has the chef, utility and paring knife set for $130

Global is a great brand for those that don't know anything about kitchen knives. Very reliable. Also praised by Bourdain in Kitchen Confidential lol.

OK that is more clear since searching an old item number does not always bring up the product and the next closest was another 3 piece set.
Agreed, I rarely go for the bread knife hence I'd place lower value on it.
I would place the most value on a Chef or Santouku and utility/paring knife.

I think the one you mention for $130 is a great set and value for those specific knives which I find most useful (used).

Please elaborate as not sure if this means it's a great and useful set at a good price or the opposite...

Obviously this is not some Yoshihiro Mizuyaki Hinyaki set, but isn't this reasonable priced for most intermediate home users?

You are also getting the block as well,
I agree its not as good of a value but the block is definitely worth at least $60-$70

You are, in essence, paying $220 for a bread knife and a block. (as the utility, chef and paring knife were $130 a month ago on Costco.ca)
Just my opinion, but this is a terrible deal.

I picked up this very functional knife block @ amazon for $34 in November. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07XGN ... UTF8&psc=1
