There has been quite a bit of debate about cast iron pans in this subreddit, and it mostly comes down to the finish of the surface. Older pans tend to have flat finish while newer pans have a "pebbled" finish.
The pebbled finish has been the favourite for a while because if you are using some form of oil or grease it actually creates a better barrier between food and pan.
The old school flat finish is much better at creating a even sear on food (especially meats) but needs to be run at hotter temperatures and requires more attention/skill.

I like Global knives, Japanese company but they make western styles. The one piece constriction means the handle wont crack over time.
