Global Classic Vegetable Knife

The Granton edge features scalloped indentations along the blade that create small air pockets between the steel and the food. This significantly reduces friction and prevents starchy vegetables from sticking to the blade while you chop.

Global fills the hollow stainless steel handle with a precise amount of sand to achieve a perfect center of gravity. This ensures the knife feels balanced in your hand, reducing wrist fatigue during repetitive tasks like dicing large quantities of vegetables.

While it is specifically designed as a Nakiri vegetable knife, its razor-sharp CROMOVA 18 steel and 7-inch length make it versatile enough for slicing boneless meats and fish. However, it is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like cutting through bones or frozen foods.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary high-carbon stainless steel alloy developed by Global. It is ice-tempered to a Rockwell hardness of 56-58, which allows the blade to hold a very sharp edge for a long time while remaining resistant to rust and stains.

This knife features an even 50/50 double bevel sharpened to a steep 10 to 15-degree angle. To maintain its performance, use a whetstone or a high-quality ceramic sharpener designed for Japanese blades, and avoid using glass or stone cutting boards that can dull the edge prematurely.

Yes, the signature dimple pattern is engineered to provide a secure, ergonomic grip even when your hands are damp. Because the handle is made of seamless stainless steel, it is also highly hygienic and easy to clean.
