Global GU-6001 UKON Knife Block Set

The Ukon series features a 10% sharper edge than previous Global collections and utilizes a thicker blade profile for increased durability and strength during heavy-duty cutting tasks.

No, these knives should be hand-washed with mild detergent and dried immediately. Dishwashers can dull the blades and potentially damage the stainless steel handles over time.

Cromova 18 steel is designed to hold an edge exceptionally well, but you should use a ceramic or diamond whetstone to maintain the blade's sharpness. Avoid using glass or stone cutting boards, as these will dull the edge significantly faster than wood or plastic.

Yes, the signature dimpled handle is designed to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet. The ergonomic shape is balanced to reduce fatigue during extended food preparation.

This set covers the essentials for most kitchens, including a chef's knife for general chopping, a santoku for precision slicing, a bread knife, a utility knife, and a paring knife for smaller tasks. It is a comprehensive starter kit that handles the vast majority of daily culinary needs.
