You don't dare touch the edge to check for sharpness, but when it cuts you it doesn't really hurt.



I peeled a ripe banana, then held the banana out without support and cut it up without the banana breaking.

Congrats! A good knife is worth it. Unfortunately, it now introduced you to the wonderful world of really nice knives. My first Japanese blade took me down a rabbit hole for a few years.

I'm sure you already know this, but if you sharpen or have them sharpened locally, make sure they will use the proper angle. Eastern blades are at 15 degrees, not 20 or 22 (and I think Global specifically is like 12.5, but not sure).
