Glestain Knives have a rising reputation in the US market and foodies as well as professionals are adding these unique knives to their collection because of the excellent performance with slicing sticky foods such as raw potatoes and cheese.
The fit a finish of these knives is excellent and the blades have a Rockwell Hardness of 58-59 which is a little soft but makes sharpening easy. We much prefer the Chef Series since they come with a full metal tang and the balance is better. The handle is large so those with small hands should try them out before purchasing.
Overall we like these knives very much. Purchasing one would take the place of a cheese knife most certainly, and many find the knives great for everyday use as well. The price of Glestain knives is high so if cost is an issue you may want to try something more economical. If you want to stand out in a professional kitchen these will do the trick.
