Global Classic Butcher's Knife

This knife features a distinctively curved blade and increased blade height, specifically engineered to provide clearance for your knuckles while breaking down larger cuts of meat. The drop-forged construction also offers significantly more heft and durability than a standard stamped chef's knife, making it better suited for heavy-duty butchery tasks.

Yes. The handle features Global's signature dimpled, slip-resistant grip and is hollow-filled with sand to create a perfectly balanced weight distribution. This design reduces wrist fatigue, which is why it is a preferred choice for professional chefs who spend hours prepping ingredients.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary stainless steel blend that is ice-tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58. This specific composition allows the blade to hold a razor-sharp edge significantly longer than many other steels while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can damage the blade's edge and potentially compromise the handle's finish. We recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying it immediately after use to maintain its performance.

Because of its unique convex edge, it is best maintained using a whetstone or a ceramic honing rod designed for Global knives. Avoid using pull-through electric sharpeners, as these can alter the specific geometry of the blade and reduce its cutting efficiency.
