Global Takashi Knife Block

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary blend developed by Global that is specifically designed to resist rust and corrosion while maintaining a razor-sharp edge. It is harder than standard stainless steel, allowing for a thinner, more precise blade that holds its sharpness longer.

No, these knives must be hand washed. The high heat and harsh detergents in a dishwasher can damage the blade's edge and potentially compromise the integrity of the handle construction.

The handles are filled with a precise amount of sand to create a perfect weight distribution, which prevents the knife from feeling too blade-heavy. This design reduces wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks and provides exceptional control.

The convex edge is designed to glide through food with minimal resistance. This geometry is stronger than a traditional V-edge, helping the blade stay sharp through heavy use while ensuring clean, effortless cuts.

Yes. The bamboo block features eight slots, but the set only includes seven pieces. This leaves one extra slot available for your kitchen shears or an additional knife you may want to add to your collection.

This set includes a ceramic sharpening rod, which is ideal for regular honing to keep the edge aligned. For long-term maintenance, you can use a whetstone or a professional sharpening service to restore the 17-degree bevel.
