Global Chef's Knife

This knife features a flatter edge profile and a more acute tip, which allows for more precise slicing and detailed work compared to the curved belly of a traditional Western chef's knife. It combines the functionality of a kiritsuke and a standard chef's knife, making it highly versatile for both chopping and delicate tasks.

The sand-filled handle is a signature Global design feature that allows for precise weight distribution. It ensures the knife feels perfectly balanced in your hand, reducing fatigue during extended prep sessions.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the CROMOVA 18 stainless steel edge and the handle construction, you should always hand wash and dry the knife immediately after use.

CROMOVA 18 is a high-quality stainless steel known for excellent edge retention and rust resistance. While it holds an edge longer than many standard steels, you should still hone it regularly with a ceramic or diamond rod and sharpen it periodically to maintain its performance.

The blade has a Rockwell hardness rating of C56–C58. This range is specifically chosen to provide a balance between a sharp, durable edge and enough flexibility to prevent the blade from becoming brittle.

Yes, this knife is backed by Global’s lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This covers issues related to the manufacturing process, provided the knife is used and cared for as intended.
