Good deal or nah?

where do you guys get your knives sharpened?

zwilling.ca has a sitewide 50% sale off again, though most of the miyabi knives are sold out.

Currently have a crappy Berghoff set that was gifted to me as used, lol (don't ask). The knives suck, even when sharpened.

Can anyone recommend me a suitable replacement set?

Wow, that's hilarious. Same here! I received it three months ago, tried it out, had them sharpened at a few places, and they still suck ass! :okay:

What kind of knives do you have? Wanting hand sharpening? Or regular grind sharpening ok with you ?? Haha reminds me, i need a few of mine sharpened

If you like western style/ made I would say Henkel or woustoff (sp?) if you can I would suggest going into a knife shop and testing out how they feel in your hand.

I like globals for my daily worker, but I know a lot of people don’t like how they feel in their hand

I sharpen mine at Sharpening House on west 7th. Razor sharp. Around $8 with tax per knife.

Anyone can recommend a decent Yanagiba? Not looking to spend too much around 200-300.

Bought this Masakage Gyuto last week, feels so effortless cutting with it. With it is my old ass sharpening steel.

let me know what i'm doing wrong as it looks like i'm not posting an image even though I'm selecting insert image.

Lighting sucks lol. But that gyuto looks fire.

Nice, looks like a yuki. Did you get a ceramic honing rod for it?

Where do you guys buy your knives?

Have a Dickoron oval sapphire cut sharpening steel(not ceramic but a really good steel). Went to knifewear on main street. Really helpful staff there.

Nice! I used to go to the Kelowna location all the time when it was there

This is the best price I've seen for the 3 piece set.

This thread put Global knives on my radar and there’s a 7 piece set for $300 off at the Bay: https://www.thebay.com/product/globa...0_color=SILVER

According to RFD the Bay once had them as low as $238. Not sure they’ll go that low again.. do I pull the trigger at $400? :considered:

I don't know if these are the same exact knives, but:

The set @ The Bay is the "Ikasu" whereas the Costco set is the "Synergy." I'm hoping someone on here can confirm whether they are different or the same. The only real difference I can see is the knife blocks themselves. Otherwise, I cannot see any obvious visual difference, or note any technical differences (i.e. forging / fluting etc.)

I may get just the chef's knife and the santoku set @ Costco for $149 since I don't really need the other knives (but damn, they look nice.)

Edit: @ punkwax - The Bay has a 10% off online-only coupon right now and it says it's "today only" (whatever that means, and as of this post, and keep in mind I am in Toronto) - Use coupon code THANKS to bring your Global knife set down to $359.99 + tax. I'm ordering one now! :)

^ great timing! Done. Used the code to save another $40 and placed my order.

Enjoy!

My Globals arrived today. Damn they’re sharp. Look good on display in the kitchen as well.

I don’t mind the hand feel but understand why some might. Good thing I have a nice heavy Wusthof for jobs when I want to feel something a little more substantial.

It’s only day one but they helped make easy work of dinner/prep tonight. Solid first impressions SeemsGood

Thanks for the follow up.

Mine are still in the box the Bay shipped the knives in. :lol
