Global 7-Inch Deba Knife Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Product 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.
