Global Masuta Knife Block

Cromova 18 is a high-carbon stainless steel blend exclusive to Global. It is ice-tempered and hardened to a specific Rockwell scale, allowing the blades to be ground to a thinner, sharper edge while maintaining excellent corrosion resistance and durability.

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. The high-heat environment and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can dull the blades and potentially damage the stainless steel handles over time.

Global handles are lightweight and hollow, which provides a distinct balance that feels different from traditional wood-handled knives. The textured dimpled pattern ensures a secure, non-slip grip, even when your hands are wet.

The ceramic honing rod is designed to realign the microscopic edge of your blades between sharpening sessions. Using it regularly helps maintain the knife's peak sharpness and extends the time needed between professional sharpenings.

Yes, the bamboo block is specifically designed to house these knives safely. The slots are sized to ensure the sharp edges do not come into contact with the wood, which helps prevent the blades from dulling while stored.

Because these knives feature a unique, steep edge angle, it is recommended to use a whetstone or a Global-specific sharpener. Avoid using pull-through electric sharpeners, as they can be too aggressive and may damage the fine edge geometry.
