Global Essential Set

No, these knives are not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the CROMOVA 18 steel and the sharpness of the convex edge, you should hand wash them with mild detergent and dry them immediately after use.

Global knives feature a hollow handle filled with sand, which allows for precise weight distribution and perfect balance. The signature dimpled pattern on the stainless steel handle also provides a secure, slip-resistant grip even when your hands are wet.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary high-carbon stainless steel alloy that is ice-tempered to a hardness of 56-58 HRC. This process ensures the blades are exceptionally resistant to rust and stains while maintaining a razor-sharp edge for much longer than standard stainless steel.

The convex edge is designed for superior cutting performance and durability, but it does require a specific sharpening technique. You will need to use a whetstone or a sharpener specifically designed for convex edges to maintain the original geometry of the blade.

Yes, this four-piece set is curated to handle almost every daily task. It includes a 3-inch paring knife for detail work, a 6-inch serrated utility knife for smaller items, an 8.5-inch bread knife, and an 8-inch chef's knife for general chopping and slicing.
