=) Thanks for the update Andrea! I'm getting the GS37 instead. I checked yours and it's a really big knife. I myself prefer a smaller knife between 5-6 inches. and i wanted a knife with 'holes' in it as well.. haha

I just chopped some onion and some bacon so far, but it cuts very very well. Compared to the previous knife, onion was like butter with this one. Bacon has fibres, so it can't feel like butter under the blade but still it was very comfortable and easy to cut!

globals are kick ass... you can definitely show those around. i will never understand the people who are buying their knives at ikea in bulk...

I am not going to shoot a horror movie, it's just that I was tired of the cheap knives I had so far, so I decided for luxury this time. I was watching a cuisine programme on a swiss tv and I saw a very nice knife, did a bit of research and finally went to a shop today. I bought the japanese Global GF-32, very very nice, I still have to put it to the test, so I hope I can keep you updated very soon. It's not exactly cheap (104 euro = 155 US dollars) but it was a sort of gift to myself. Here's a pic of it directly from the website:

Andrea on "Cutting Garlic"

Andrea — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 18:15:05 +0000

Dear Maangchi, I always love to see your videos, and I'd like to ask you a question. Is there a reason why you cut garlic with the knife? I ask you this because we use the garlic press, though I must say that garlic press actually crushes garlic, instead of cutting it, and the juice comes out. Maybe I answered the question on my own...? Love from Italy Andrea
