Global 7-Inch Deba Knife Description This 7-in. Asian Deba Knife is sharpened on the right side of the blade only, making it suitable only for right handed cooks. The mirror finish near the blades edge encourages ingredients to fall away from the knife and allows the cook to keep ingredients pristine. Loved by professional chefs around the world, Global knives are an excellent choice for the serious home cook. The thin and razor sharp Global blade allows the cook to cleanly slice through foods, preserving the integrity of the ingredient and maximizing its flavor. The majority of Global knives are ground to a straight point rather than the western style of beveling the edge. To balance their knives Global uses a hollow handle that is filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. The handle has its own unique darkened dimples for a non-slip grip. Because the knives are very light weight they reduce hand fatigue. Global knives have a smooth contour and seamless, all stainless construction that eliminates food and dirt traps. Global knifes are forged in Japan from CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel, a blend of 18 percent chromium for good stain resistance plus molybdenum and vanadium which gives excellent edge retention.

Global 7-Inch Deba Knife customer reviews: What a Blade! As a professional chef, I would buy this knife again and again. The factory edge is amazing, I have never seen a knife as sharp as this, right out of the box. Even with the Deba having only one side it is extremely easy to sharpen. I have used all the major knife brands and I find the steel in all of Global knives to be of the best quality.You can not go wrong if you purchase of this knife! An Excellent Investment As a professional chef, I have had the opportunity to work with just about every brand of knife out there. Recently, my very first chef's knife which I had purchased 22 years ago, was stolen along with the rest of my equipment. It was one of the original Henckels 8" chefs's knives with a nice, thin bolster which is so hard to find nowadays. Unfortunately, the current trend is to make them thick and heavy. Originally, I had replaced it with a Wustoff Classic 8", which is a great knife, but the heft kept throwing me off and slowing me down. On my sous chef's recommendation I decided to check out some Global knives. The Global Deba is the first knife by this manufacturer that I have ever tried, and I am very impressed. My first impression was that it was way too light, and that the handle was designed for someone with small hands. That opinion changed the moment I gave it a test run on some zucchini. It is lightning fast and razor sharp, and the balance is perfect. I now realize that a thicker and heavier handle is necessary for control when you have a thick bolster. This is the perfect light all-purpose knife for any professional chef. The only thing I wouldn't recommend using it for is breaking down a whole chicken. You need to rely on the weight of a traditional knife for that. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend it. Not a knife for the distracted ... Yep, this is the knife, and I mean this one. I'm sure that the other Global knives are excellent too (I haven't used them) but this particular knife is about my idea of kitchen cutlery perfection (i.e. super sharp, light, long and fine enough to handle most any job and very well balanced); however, this knife is dangerous (my wife won't touch it, another positive point) because it is so very sharp that getting a finger in the way will definitely mean a trip to the hospital. Be very careful (and somewhat afraid) and you'll love this knife and know what fine kitchen cutlery is about (and I've used all of the great German stuff too). This knife is just better ... An okay deba... Professional cook here. I don't use this knife as an all purpose knife. It wasn't intended to be one. I've tried to, but it doesn't work very well as one. It being single bevel, it tends to make the wrist turn while cutting hard objects like carrots, which is why it shouldn't be used in place of a chef's knife. Debas are meant to be used for breaking down whole chickens (not cutting the bones though) and butchering fish (can cut fish bones). While the Global deba (and all Global knives in general) is very sharp out of the box, it is because of the concave edge they put on it, not the traditional V edge. It stays sharp longer, but without special equipment, one cannot sharpen Globals to the same factory edge with just sharpening stones. I don't see how Global can really classify this knife as a deba though. It's too thin to be a real deba and rather light. Debas are usually twice as thick and have a tougher edge, rather than the delicate edge on the Global deba. I had to sharpen this knife to a more obtuse angle to use it for its intended purpose because the edge kept on rolling or chipping. Plus, it's rather expensive. There are much better debas out there made with better steels for the same price or cheaper. I applaud Global for being unique in their designs, but function over form is extremely important with knives in the professional kitchen. A deba is meant to be used and abused with no babysitting. It doesn't take a lot to become a professional cook There are tradeoffs in knife making as there are in most things. If you want an edge that can take a beating, you can't make it very sharp, and if you want razor sharpness, it won't be able to take a beating. This knife is an excellent compromise, providing a very nice edge that is very well suited to its intended purpose. I've been through most of the high-end forged German names, and so far this is the first knife of this size that I've found actually manages to get the concept of hollow ground right in that it successfully repels exceedingly wet foods such as cucumbers, daikon and tomatoes during slicing. And yes, it's plenty sharp, making short work of even overripe fruits. My knife did not arrive from the factory with any sort of "concave edge" that would require any "special equipment" to reproduce (unless you consider a medium grit whetstone "special" in some way), and while I would prefer it if it had a bit more heft to it, it's still an excellent knife for meats, tofu and (most) vegetables. If you absolutely insist on cleaving a kabocha with it, then you might just want to consider a different career path.
