Unfortunately, you can't try before you buy.

You can get one for a Kitchenaid, but we got it as a separate standalone device because it had a good rep.

Even buying a set years ago from Boots with the well-known name Sabatier on them, didn't guarantee me a good sharp knife. I have also bought a TV chef recommended carving knife set, only to be disappointed with the results. Not only do you need a sharp knife to cut properly, you also want something that sits well in the hand & is comfortable to use. This is really only something that you can find out when you use it all the time - something you can't do until after it's bought. Perhaps I'll have a look at the Global knives & see if it's worth taking the chance.
