Shun Classic vs. Global — Carving Knife.

The Shun Classic is Shun’s standard knife line. It has the best performance they offer without all the extra frills of their higher end lines. It features a full tang, Damascus-clad blade, and black pakkawood handle. Like all Shun knives, it comes with free lifetime sharpening.

Global is one of the original modern "Japanese" style knives that forced the European companies to get their act together. It is immediately recognizable by its all metal construction and black dimples along the handle.

In this video, I compare the Shun Classic Carving Knife to the Global Carving Knife and give my opinions.

I drop my global knife a lot and nothing happened. Not even chip on the blade. Very tough knife and sharp. Very well balance too. Best balance from all knife i tried like shun, miyabi, tojiro, masamoto, all the way thru artisan knife like Yu kurosaki, Yoshimi Kato, shigeki tanaka, etc... Global knife's blade is this so it is very easy for me to do thin slice and never have to worry about chipping my knife while i am using it. Never worry about dirt or bacteria stuck in my knife between the handle and the blade and very easy to maintain. Very recommend this knife

The global knife should never bread if its used correctly.
