Global Classic Knife

Global knives feature a seamless, all-stainless steel construction that eliminates the gap where bacteria can hide, making them exceptionally hygienic. The handles are also hollow and filled with a precise amount of sand to provide a perfectly balanced, slip-resistant grip that feels distinct from the weight distribution of wood-handled knives.

These knives are crafted from Cromova 18 stainless steel with a 15-degree edge angle. To maintain their performance, use a whetstone or a sharpener specifically designed for Japanese-style blades, and avoid using glass or granite cutting boards, which can dull the edge prematurely.

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

The 7-inch chef's knife is your primary tool for heavy-duty tasks like chopping vegetables, slicing meat, and dicing herbs. The 3-inch paring knife is designed for precision work, such as peeling fruits, trimming small vegetables, or deveining shrimp.

The hollow-ground design creates a slight indentation on the blade, which helps reduce friction and prevents food from sticking to the side of the knife while you cut. This allows for smoother, more efficient slicing and dicing.
