Global Butcher's Knife

While standard Global knives are known for being lightweight and nimble, this butcher's knife is drop-forged for increased durability and mass. The added weight provides the necessary force for breaking down ribs, loins, and tougher cuts of meat that a thinner blade might struggle with.

No, the handle features Global's signature dimpled pattern, which is specifically designed to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet or oily.

Because this knife is ice-tempered and sharpened to an acute 10 to 15-degree angle, it is best maintained using a whetstone or a high-quality ceramic sharpener. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the fine convex edge.

This knife is excellent for breaking down ribs and loins, but it is not a cleaver. While it is durable, you should avoid using it to hack through thick, dense bones to prevent potential chipping of the high-carbon steel edge.

The handle is filled with a precise amount of sand to counterbalance the weight of the blade. This creates a neutral balance point that reduces wrist fatigue during repetitive cutting tasks.

CROMOVA steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, but it is not entirely immune. To keep it in top condition, always hand wash the knife with mild detergent and dry it immediately after use; never put it in the dishwasher.
