Global Hiro Knife Block

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary alloy exclusive to Global. It is specifically formulated to be hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time, yet soft enough to be easily resharpened when necessary.

No, these knives must be hand-washed. The high heat and harsh detergents of a dishwasher can damage the blade's edge and the finish of the stainless steel handles.

The handles are hollow and filled with a precise amount of sand to achieve perfect weight distribution. The signature dimple pattern is designed to provide a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet.

The unique convex edge creates less friction as the blade passes through food. This allows for cleaner, more precise cuts and helps prevent food from sticking to the side of the knife.

Yes, the combination of acrylic, stainless steel, and hardwood is designed for both durability and maintenance. You can wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth to keep the block looking pristine.

Because of their specific edge geometry, it is recommended to use a whetstone or a Global-specific sharpener. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can be too aggressive and may damage the fine edge of the blade.
