Global G-Series Chef's Knife

Cromova 18 is a proprietary high-carbon stainless steel blend exclusive to Global. It is ice-tempered and hardened to 56-58 HRC, which allows the blade to hold a significantly sharper edge for longer while remaining resistant to rust and corrosion.

Because of the unique edge geometry, it is best to use a whetstone or a ceramic water sharpener designed for Japanese-style blades. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can damage the thin, precise edge.

No, the handle features a signature dimpled texture designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet. The hollow construction is also weighted with sand to ensure the knife feels perfectly balanced in your palm.

No, you should always hand wash this knife. The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can dull the blade prematurely and potentially damage the handle's finish.

The 10-inch length provides a longer cutting surface, which is ideal for processing large vegetables, carving roasts, or performing high-volume prep work. It offers more leverage and reach, though it requires a bit more counter space than a standard 8-inch chef's knife.

Yes, the one-piece stainless steel design eliminates the gaps and rivets found in traditional knives where food particles and bacteria can hide. This makes the knife exceptionally easy to sanitize and keep clean.
