I am more than pleased with this knife. It is very sharp. Wickedly sharp.
I was cutting up some fruit and ended up with microscopic cuts on my
thumbs. Didn't even know until I felt a little stinging there and wandered
what happened, then I remembered. Now I use it with more caution than
with my other knives. But it sure serves the purpose well. I am very happy with
it.

Yep, this is the knife, and I mean this one.  I'm sure that the other Global knives are excellent too (I haven't used them) but this particular knife is about my idea of kitchen cutlery perfection (i.e. super sharp, light, long and fine enough to handle most any job and very well balanced); however, this knife is dangerous (my wife won't touch it, another positive point) because it is so very sharp that getting a finger in the way will definitely mean a trip to the hospital.  Be very careful (and somewhat afraid) and you'll love this knife and know what fine kitchen cutlery is about (and I've used all of the great German stuff too).  This knife is just better ...

Extremely sharp. I like it. I use it oh a block of wood (just stabbed) and the tip bent. But I fixed it an gave it to my friend as a present

Super sharp, so be careful! Great for salads (and also cutting pizza when my wheel broke). Plastic cover has been surprisingly durable.

Be careful with this one!  It's extremely sharp, which makes it perfect for chopping herbs without crushing and bruising them.  I also use it to chop up dried fruit and vegetables for my (spoiled) bird.  Some people prefer knives, but I like the rocking motion and ability to change direction quickly to chase those bits that are trying escape the chop.

Perfect knife for easy cutting of meat as well as vegetables and fruits. I just love this! But please remember to HANDLE WITH CARE as the knife is extremely sharp. And keep it away from children AT ALL TIMES! That being said, you can do all cutting work with extremely less effort. Far Better than any stainless steel knife that I have ever seen. I've just been using this for two weeks now and there has been no problem yet. I can't comment much on the knife's durability but I must say that it seems pretty strong as of now. I'll keep my review updated in case some issue turns up!

So I'm not gonna lie, I MAY have just come back from the emergency room.  What does that mean?  Well... it means that this mandoline is super sharp.  It also means that I don't pay much attention to safety features.  There is a finger guard on the holder piece, I suggest using it.  Here's what happened, I was slicing an onion and it wasn't super fresh, so it was rubbery.  Well, it got a little stuck and when I went to get it unstuck, I swiveled the onion to get a new angle and my hand slipped.  But I did get beautiful onion slices before my mishap.  I want to say it's because the mandoline wasn't sharp enough to cut it, but clearly it was quite sharp.  I like it, it's a cute slicer with a basket that you don't need to unclip or anything, it's easily accessible.  I love the slide out blades, they are small and I like the different kind of slices that you get with it.

Love how incredibly sharp it is!! Easily slices grapes and tomatoes without tearing the flesh of the fruit or squashing it. Be very very careful when handling these knives though!!! They can chip or break if not handled with extreme care. Aside from that, best knife i have ever had.

The blades are extremely sharp so use caution when cleaning.  I own one and Ive had it since Dec 2011.  Unfortunately, my family decided to put it in the dishwasher and it discolored.  It still works great!  I purchased this for a gift.  I know they will Love it!

Amazing  knife but be very careful handling it as it is extremely sharp.  Avoid prolonged cutting sessions (1+ hrs).  I am sure it was the way I was cutting.  Those butternut squash peels are a tough gig.

Improvements.... lets see:
I hold most of my useful knives on a magnet strip on the wall.  I wish there was a way to put this one next to them.  I also wonder how to sharpen a ceramic knife.

Stupid sharp, amazing product. I got this for opening packages and normal stuff like that. It is so sharp that i have to cut open boxes very carefully, or else it will easily carve up the cardboard. Be careful using this, it is almost dangerous. I am never ever going back to regular knives again, this thing is glorious!

I like my Bella carving knife, but much caution is needed. The blades are incredibly sharp. Hand cleaning in soapy water is best done slowly.

The carving action is effective; gravity is its most reliable guide. If pressure is applied to the cut, it is easy for a paper thin slice of meat to get caught up in the blade and then make a mess of everything until the knife is powered off, safely unplugged, and the blades made completely free of debris.

The plastic housing is somewhat large, yet its ergonomic allows for my hand to grip it well. Its trigger has a sliding safety button for added precaution; thankfully, it needs to be manually set. It has a big black blade release button near to where the blades insert at the tip.

All of the knife's components are easily adjusted. This is a great thing for hands that may have difficulty cutting with a non-powered blade. I just hope that those hands take the extra precaution when disassembling or washing its parts.

This is a fine electric knife, and it will be helpful to those who experience hand pains. I feel that it warrants too much effort for everyday use; however, for larger tasks, it will spare quite a bit of wrist strain.

Bought this for my mom who likes to cut flowers out of fruits and vegetables. She said the knife is very sharp and cuts great, but it is a bit too curved.

She often focuses and puts pressure on the tip of the knife, causing her to have to hold the knife instead of the handle. As a result, she ended up getting cuts all over her fingers without knowing it.

The other day I accidentally poked my finger with the tip of the knife while putting it back into the knife holder and it was painful! Super sharp knife and extra caution needed when handling this knife

Wow...sharp and perfect. Be careful. It bit me in the leg (my mistake) super DEEP. Awesome knife though.

Bought on recommendation of Cooks Illustrated review, and I love it. Be careful, though; it's as sharp as a razor blade, so I wear oven mitts when slicing. Price can't be beat.

This knife may be tiny but it is very sharp as my right index finger can attest to. It's not difficult to open or close. I got this for personal protection and I hope I don't have to use it. i shouldn't have a problem with the NYPD in regards to this knife since its a folding knife less than 4 inches. I love this knife!!
