Global Butcher's Knife

The GF-27 is specifically engineered for heavy-duty tasks like breaking down large cuts of meat. Its heavyweight, drop-forged construction provides the extra force and stability needed for dense proteins, whereas a standard chef's knife is typically lighter and designed for more delicate, multi-purpose slicing.

No, the handle features Global's signature dimpled pattern, which is designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet. The seamless construction also prevents food buildup, making it exceptionally hygienic.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary high-carbon stainless steel that is specifically hardened to resist rust and corrosion while maintaining a razor-sharp edge. It is designed to hold its sharpness longer than standard stainless steel, though it will still require regular honing to maintain peak performance.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. High-heat cycles and harsh detergents can damage the blade's edge and the integrity of the steel; we recommend hand-washing with mild soap and drying immediately.

Because it features a hollow grind, it is best maintained using a whetstone or a high-quality ceramic sharpener. Avoid using pull-through sharpeners, as they can be too aggressive and may damage the specific geometry of the blade.

While the knife is robust and weighs 9.6 ounces, the hollow handle is designed to be ergonomic and well-balanced. However, because it is a heavy-duty butcher's tool, it may feel more substantial than a standard utility knife.
