Thanks OP. I was literally researching kitchen knives all last week and found Global to be the best value for the money. Only thing that could have made this better is if one of the knives was replaced with a honing rod as the 3 larger Chef's knives aren't really needed since you only need 1.

Isn't this a stamped knife set? I am not too knowledgeable on knives tbh but can anyone explain why to choose this over a forged knife set?

If the knives are from the Global G Series, they are stamped. Having said that, they're still high quality knives.thesubmitter wrote: ↑ Its forged, they are decent knives but the design is unique

How does this compare to the other knife sets available at Costco, such as:
- https://www.costco.ca/henckels-christop ... 49206.html
- https://www.costco.ca/henckels-modernis ... 26653.html
Also, can someone who is knowledgeable on knifes explain what each of these knives would be used for? For example, what's the point of having a 4.5" utility knife, a 5.5" vegetable knife, and a 5" cook's knife? From what I'v read online, it looks like the paring knife, bread knife, and 8" cook's knife is all that you need.
Thanks!

From the Seido collection. The Global tradition since their conception in 1985, global® knives have established an enviable reputation for innovative design and exceptional performance. Just as fine swords lent distinction to the samurai, Global® knives bring distinction to the chef, whether high-ranking professional or enthusiastic amateur. Cromova 18 steel blade retains its edge longer than any major knife brand. Unique convex edge of the global blade makes cuts smoother, requiring less energy. Ergonomic, stainless-steel hygienic handles with signature dimple pattern offer a bolster-less, comfortable and slip-resistant grip. Perfectly balanced handles precisely calibrated to offset the weight of the blade. Cromova 18 stainless steel/maple wood block. Hand wash.

These knives are great, and 299 is a steal. I returned the Costco Zwilling Pro S’s from a while back in favour of these.
The Globals fit much better in hand and the weight and sharpness felt like a big difference. Hoping these last a long time.

Thats true, u can get by with much less but at 299 ppl who really want sets this is good. In fact a good 6” Chefs Knife does 90% of the workDoyvidlah wrote: ↑ How does this compare to the other knife sets available at Costco, such as:

Thanks! Do you know what the model is for each of these knifes?
Like is the 8" cook's knife the G2?

I took a look at the picture on The Bay's listing as closely as I could...
The 8" chef's knife is definitely the G-2
The 5" chef's knife appears to be the GS-3
The bread knife looks like it's the G-9 (The Bay listing says its 8", whereas the Global USA website lists it as 8.5" - they don't have an 8" bread knife in the Classic line)
The 5.5" vegetable knife appears to be the GS-5
The 4.25" utility knife appears to be the GSF-22
I can't seem to match up/find the 3" paring knife on the Global USA website.
