Global Classic Knife Set

Global knives are significantly lighter and more agile than traditional Western cutlery. Because they lack the heavy bolster and thick spine found on many German-style knives, they feel more like an extension of your hand, which helps reduce wrist fatigue during long prep sessions.

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. The high-carbon steel edges are delicate, and the harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can dull the blade and potentially damage the handle finish.

The hollow-ground indentations, or dimples, create small air pockets between the food and the blade. This reduces friction and prevents starchy or wet foods from sticking to the side of the knife as you chop.

Yes, Global knives are sharpened to a steeper angle than most Western knives. To maintain their performance, you should use a ceramic water stone or a sharpener specifically designed for Japanese-style blades rather than a standard pull-through sharpener.

No, these knives are not full tang. They feature a unique, seamless stainless steel construction where the handle is hollow and filled with sand to achieve perfect balance, which is a signature design element of the Global brand.
