This is the stuff that I'd usually jump on - I've got a couple of Globals and they cut real good. Those shears look horribly uncomfortable, but I'd love to be proven wrong if anyone has experience?

All I can say is that as a lefty the symmetry on these shears makes me happy

This is a good deal, I have a pair of Global shears, just bought another for a spare pair, and why not get a free G2 knife as well!

On the other hand, this could just mean that lefties suffer just as much as righties.

On other sites, it appears that the shears are made of the Cromova 18 steel that global is known for, but made in China (according to Williams Sonoma). It looks like its secured by a hex nut which means they possibly aren't readily detachable without tools for easy cleaning (any owners can comment on this feature?)

Either way, price is quite good.

I think Williams Sonoma may have that wrong? Everywhere else I see it says made in Japan?

Anyone has thoughts on G2 Global 8" versus the Zwilling/Henckels Gourmet Chef Knife 8"?

I have this kit from Costco. On the box it says the the knife is made in Japan and the shears are made in China. Both are of high quality regardless of where its made.

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/ ... clnk&gl=ca (cached site from Global Cutlery USA product page for shears; "Designed in Japan, made in China.")

https://globalknives.uk/kitchen-shears-block Global UK. "Designed by Komin Yamada" but suspiciously omits country of manufacture (the knife and shears set states Made in Japan however)

That's not to say these aren't quality shears of course. It does matter to some whether it's made in Japan.
