Global Kabuto Knife Block

The set includes a 3" Paring Knife (GSF-46), 4.5" Utility Knife (GSF-22), 5" Chef’s Prep Knife (GS-3), 5.5" Vegetable Knife (GS-5), 8" Chef's Knife (G-2), and an 8.5" Bread Knife (G-9), all housed in a matching storage block.

No, these knives should be hand-washed only. Using a dishwasher can dull the edges and potentially damage the handle finish, so we recommend washing them with mild soap and drying them immediately.

CROMOVA 18 is a proprietary stainless steel alloy developed by Global that is specifically hardened to resist rust, corrosion, and stains. It allows the blades to be ground to a thinner, sharper edge while maintaining excellent edge retention.

To keep your knives performing at their best, use a ceramic or diamond-coated sharpening rod regularly to hone the edge. For deeper sharpening, a whetstone is recommended to maintain the specific edge geometry of the Global blades.

Beyond its modern look, the Kabuto block is designed for vertical storage, which saves valuable counter space. The acrylic panes allow you to easily identify the correct knife at a glance, while the open design promotes better airflow compared to traditional wood blocks.

Global knives are significantly lighter than most Western-style knives. They are designed with a hollow handle filled with sand to achieve perfect balance, which reduces hand fatigue during long prep sessions.
