I've just become the proud owner of a brand new set of Global knives.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that the way they should be sharpened is a bit different from other knives. Can I just carry on using my trusty sharpening steel the same way I have previously sharpened my Sabatier knives, or do I have some new techniques to learn? Should I even shell out the money for one of the expensive Global sharpening steels?
I've also seen that you can buy little widgets called either Mino or Shinkansen that claim to be specially designed for sharpening Global knives. Are they any good?
All thoughts, comments, and suggestions gratefully received!

Many thanks Adam
I have Shun's which are also Japanese made knives though a different steel than the Globals. I suggest you check out this forum for all you knife sharpening questions. http://knifeforums.com/forums/showforum.php?fid/26/ These guys take their kitchen knives very serious. Global's are pretty good knives compared to the German made knives.

Many thanks for the suggestion, Joe. It certainly looks like a good place for any knife related questions, so I've posted the question there as well.
