Global Knife Block

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary blend developed by Global that is specifically designed to be resistant to rust and stains while maintaining a razor-sharp edge. It is ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell scale of 56-58, which provides the ideal balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening.

No, the handles feature Global’s iconic dimpled pattern, which is specifically engineered to provide a secure, non-slip grip. The seamless, ergonomic design ensures that the knife feels like a natural extension of your hand, even during intensive prep work.

Yes, the knife block is designed with extra slots to accommodate additional Global knives. This allows you to consolidate your collection into one convenient, space-saving unit as your kitchen needs grow.

Because these knives feature a unique convex edge, it is best to use a ceramic water sharpener or a whetstone to maintain their performance. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they may not match the specific geometry of the Global blade.

While the stainless steel construction is durable, we strongly recommend hand-washing these knives with a mild detergent and drying them immediately. Dishwashers can be harsh on the blade's edge and may cause the handles to lose their finish over time.
