The largest brands in kitchen knives are Wusthof, Henckles, Shun and Global Knives.

Global chef knife owners comment that this is a versatile, all-around great knife that’s super-sharp and works well for both right- and left-handed users (although it may best be suited to those with smaller hands). The knife is light and well-balanced and slices through most foods like butter. The blade is sharpened to a point rather than beveled, resulting in an edge that will stay sharp longer than most other knives. Global knives are precision-crafted from molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and have a Rockwell hardness of 56-58. Below are a few user reviews—the average rating was 4.6 out of 5 stars.
