It is holding its edge well and when I sharpen it I may send it out for sharpening or just use their 3 wheel water knife sharpener. I like the heft and the balance and it cuts meat, vegetables, bread, and other various items. I think it is worth the cost, however, I've only owned it for about a month. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One sharp knife! *by on Reviewed in the United States 6 April 2026* Great chefs knife but be CAREFUL, very very sharp. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Waited too many years to try Global *by on Reviewed in the United States 4 March 2026* I’ve spent my life a die hard Wusthof loyalist. I remember early 2000’s seeing some guys with Globals in the kitchen thinking how silly that steel handle looks and there’s no way that feels good in your hand. Well I finally tried it and it’s been the knife I use 90% of the time now. I’m not in a production kitchen these days, but I would have liked to have this knife back when I was. Highly recommend. Only thing I’d say is make sure to hone it on a ceramic rod with every use. I’ve never had to put mine to a stone bc of that. Best knife I’ve used in my 45 years!! ## Frequently Bought Together - Global Model X Chef's Knife - Made in Japan, 8" (Fine Edge) - Global G-9-8 1/2" Bread Knife - Global 3.5" Paring Knife --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/666634236-model-x-chefs-knife-made-in-japan-8-fine-edge](https://www.desertcart.is/products/666634236-model-x-chefs-knife-made-in-japan-8-fine-edge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
