Those Global knives look pretty sweet but I'm not so sure about the handle. I'll have to see how they feel if I can find them at some stores locally.

They are ultra light knives....they don't feel like the other ones, try it before you buy...possibly more slippery when wet as well.
From what i've heard and read they hold their edge better but are made of stamped steel instead of forged so they are a bit more flexible and softer, correct me if I'm wrong.

I have an 8 inch calphalon 1 piece chef knife that i use for most things and then a 6 inch whusthof blade that i rarely use as the chef knife is pretty much good for everything lol
So I ended up buying these both for $50

Sounds like the best bang for buck... Maybe I'll upgrade later

The Classic Ikon has a much smaller bolster which I very much prefer but is a preference item. I also agree the handles look (and feel) much nicer for not much more money. I have had my knives for around 5 years now and they look and perform like new, easily my best kitchen purchase. Second place goes to my All-Clad copper core set of pots and pans. Hope that helps!

so ive had my 8" wustoff classic for 10 years now, the first 5 years were cooking pro, and the last 5 years just at home use, and its still pretty much the only knife i use haha
looking back i was bummed it was $130 at the time, but now you realize it was worth every penny and more

Can anybody recommend a sharpening stone for my Victorinox? Either locally or online in Canada. Also any good videos on how to sharpen knives on a stone?

Been using a Global GF-33 for past few years, always brought it to house of knives to sharpen.
^what have you been using to sharpen your global knives, mine is getting a bit dull and I want to do it myself this time.
I have a global whetstone that I have used ,but have been taking all of my knives to a local Japanese knife shop that sharpens by hand on stones.
Haha my guy rocks the knives out super quick and has a ton of different grit stones to get them super sharp.
I need a new bread knife. A co-worker of mine has that mac one, its quite nice. Bread knives don't have the same "knife porn" effect for me so I always have had such a cheap shitty one.

Yeah, lols, not even close.
But coming from the bread knife from an ikea 4-piece knife set.... The MAC is like night and day.
Make sure you bring you kit when we have our play day.
