What knives are better than global?
Unless you absolutely love the sleek modern design of Global knives, I recommend buying Wusthof. The line I like the most is the Wusthof Classic (check out our review). Wusthof knives may cost a little more than Global, but they’re razor-sharp, well-balanced, and have a classic design that will never go out of style.

The best way to sharpen any knives, not just Global is by whetstone. But for fine-tuning and honing you can use Globals ceramic and diamond steels.
