Global G257 Knife

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel alloy exclusive to Global. It is specifically formulated to be hard enough to hold a razor-sharp edge for a long time, yet flexible enough to resist chipping and corrosion.

No, you should always hand wash these knives with mild detergent and dry them immediately. Dishwashers can dull the blades, damage the handle finish, and expose the steel to harsh chemicals that may cause spotting.

Global knives are significantly lighter than traditional Western-style knives and feature a unique, seamless stainless steel handle. Because they are so lightweight and balanced, they are designed to reduce hand fatigue during long prep sessions.

Because these knives have a specific edge angle, it is best to use a whetstone or a ceramic water sharpener designed for Japanese-style blades. Avoid using coarse pull-through sharpeners, as they can remove too much material and damage the fine edge.

The signature dimpled pattern on the handle is not just aesthetic; it provides a secure, non-slip grip even when your hands are wet or oily. This design ensures you maintain precise control over the blade during use.

The manufacturer's lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal kitchen use. It does not cover damage caused by misuse, such as cutting frozen foods, prying, or improper cleaning.
