Cheers Ben. I got my first set back when I had the disposable income to support such an extravagant purchase (as it seemed at the time). I was told to get a specific sharpener as it’s the only one recommended by Global. I can’t put a link here but I’ve updated the post with a pic and link.

I did a cheese making course last year and as soon as I have a bit more spare time I’ll be getting into it in a big way. I already make our yoghurt but with the amount of cheese I eat, we’ll save a fortune once I make my own :)

I’ve been contemplating purchasing a set of global knives for years – they’re beautiful things (and making our own cheese and yoghurt is saving us enough a week to justify spending dumb amount of money on knives!)

What do you use for sharpening yours? Oil stone and steel

Great blog by the way – nice to see other opting out while opting in the way we do – hell there’s not much difference between the Wairarapa and Waipara!

Indeed – I’m discovering it’s really versatile. Grilled Salmon with roast veges seems to have sold the business case to the FC :)

Glad you’ve got that one… It’s probably *the* most used knife in my set. Good for fine chopping too – just hold it up on the blade… I trust the Financial Controller approved of the purchase ;)
