Choppin' like a champ

I was first exposed to the immaculate knives made by Global when I lived in Vancouver. My cousin and her boyfriend had a small set. At the time I had always been under the impression the look of a good knife has a wooden handle with the metal of the blade running through it. I don't remember what that's called but anyway...I was wrong.
After doing some research online, Global seemed to pop up everywhere as the leading brand for knives from the amateur cook like myself to chefs everywhere.
I went on a search to see where I could grab one and I ended up on ebay.
I bid on one and won. Then came on the anxiety.


It wasn't until AFTER I won the item and was waiting for it to be shipped that I realized FAKE globals are sold all over ebay and you've got to be extremely careful. I paid like $20 less than what the chef's knife goes for in stores so I was worried.
When it was delivered, I ripped open the package, examined the knife and *phew*...A REAL KNIFE!
I started chopping whatever I could. It chops meat like butter, vegetables with ease and made peeling and segmenting citrus a breeze.
Anyone who knows me knows I absolutely LOVE to cook and my knife makes the experience of being in the kitchen even more wonderful.
