Global Classic Vegetable Knife

The hollow ground edge, often referred to as a Granton edge, features small indentations that create air pockets between the blade and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents ingredients from sticking to the side of the blade while you chop.

Unlike a pointed chef's knife, this vegetable knife features a square tip and a flatter blade profile. This design is specifically optimized for vertical chopping motions, making it highly efficient for processing root vegetables and large quantities of produce.

No, the handle is designed with Global’s signature dimple pattern. This texture provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet or oily during food preparation.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary high-carbon stainless steel blend used by Global. It is ice-tempered and hardened to a Rockwell scale of 56-58, which allows the blade to maintain a razor-sharp edge for longer while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.

Yes, while it is designed as a vegetable knife, the 7-inch blade is robust enough to handle meat prep. However, it is best suited for slicing and chopping tasks rather than heavy-duty bone-in butchery.

Because this knife features a unique convex edge, it is best maintained using a whetstone or a high-quality ceramic sharpener designed for Japanese-style blades. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the specific geometry of the edge.
