Global G-5 Usuba Knife

The G-5 is specifically engineered for vegetable preparation. Its square-tip design and straight edge allow for efficient chopping, dicing, and slicing of produce, mirroring the functionality of traditional Japanese Usuba knives.

The hollow handle is filled with a precise amount of sand to create a perfectly weighted balance point. This design ensures the knife feels stable and comfortable in your hand, reducing wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary steel designed to be highly resistant to rust and stains while maintaining a sharp edge. To keep it in top condition, simply hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use.

Most Western knives are ground to a 20-25 degree angle, whereas this Global knife features a sharper 15-degree edge. This acute angle allows for cleaner, more precise cuts, though it requires slightly more care to maintain its sharpness over time.

Yes, the seamless, all-stainless steel construction eliminates crevices where food particles or bacteria could accumulate. This makes the knife significantly more hygienic and easier to clean than knives with riveted wooden handles.
