Global Classic Knife Block

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel alloy developed by Global. It is specifically formulated to be hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time, yet soft enough to be easily sharpened when needed, while remaining highly resistant to rust and stains.

No, these knives must be hand-washed. The high heat and harsh detergents used in dishwashers can damage the blade's edge and potentially compromise the handle's integrity over time.

Global knives are significantly lighter than most Western-style knives. They feature a hollow handle filled with a precise amount of sand to achieve perfect balance, which reduces wrist fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.

No, the Kabuto block is designed for safe and stylish storage of your knives. While the set is compatible with Global's handheld sharpeners, the block itself does not feature an integrated sharpening mechanism.

No, the Nakiri vegetable knife is designed specifically for slicing, dicing, and chopping vegetables. It has a thin, delicate edge that can chip if used on bones, frozen foods, or hard pits.

To maintain the performance of your Global knives, we recommend using a ceramic water sharpener or a whetstone regularly. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners with coarse grinding wheels, as they can remove too much metal and shorten the lifespan of your blades.
