Rating: - Great Universal knife
I really have enjoyed using this knife. It is a great universal knife. It is nice to have when one needs to cut through chicken skin for deboning. I also like the design of the handel.

Rating: - It's almost impossible to sharpen Global serrated knives
Global knives are great! and for the straight edged one's Global offers enough equipment to keep them nice and sharp. But for the serrated edged knives(and Global has such hard steel). It is almost impossible to resharpen them again. When ever I buy a a serrated knife I am going to stick with more affordable stamped knives by Henckels, Forschner, or Wusthof that don't cost a fortune if you can't resharpen them.

Rating: - Good but unnecessary
I bought this knife along with a few other Global knives and ended up returning it. This is not to say that this is a bad knife but I found that it was unnecessary alongside the rest of the Global knives I purchased. The non-serrated knifes are so sharp that there were practicaly no instances where I needed to use this knife. I did end-up keeping the 8" serrated bread knife but as long as you have that one, you don't really need another serrated knives.

I like being able to sharpen my knives frequently and this isn't very easy to do with serrated knives. A special tool and technique is required and the whole process is very time consuming. In addition, make sure that you use a ceramic sharpener on all global knives. Its supposed to have a different grit that is better for them. Kyocera (ceramic knife manufacturer) makes one specifically for Global but they are quite expensive.
