Global Hashira Knife Block

The set includes four essential Global knives: the G-2 8-inch Chef's Knife, the G-9 8.5-inch Bread Knife, the GS-5 5.5-inch Vegetable Knife, and the GS-96 4-inch Paring Knife.

The open-frame structure with clear acrylic windows promotes consistent airflow around the blades. This helps prevent moisture buildup, keeping your knives in better condition compared to traditional closed-slot blocks.

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. Using a dishwasher can dull the edges prematurely and potentially damage the stainless steel handles.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel alloy that is highly resistant to rust and staining. It is hardened to 56–58 on the Rockwell scale, which allows the blades to hold a sharp edge while remaining easy to maintain.

These knives feature a 15-degree double-beveled edge. To maintain their performance, we recommend using a whetstone or a high-quality ceramic sharpener specifically designed for Japanese-style blades.

The signature dimpled texture is primarily functional. It provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet, and the seamless stainless steel construction prevents food particles from getting trapped, making it more hygienic.
