Global Classic Chef & Paring Set

The 6-inch chef's knife (G-58) is designed for agility and precision, making it an excellent choice for smaller kitchens or home cooks who find a full-sized 8-inch blade unwieldy. It offers the same versatility for chopping and slicing but provides better control for intricate prep work.

Global knives are made from Cromova 18 steel and are hand-sharpened to a very thin edge. To maintain their performance, use a ceramic water sharpener or a whetstone regularly, and avoid using glass or stone cutting boards, which can dull the blade quickly.

No, these knives must be hand-washed. The harsh detergents and high heat of a dishwasher can damage the blade's edge and potentially affect the handle's finish over time.

The signature dimple pattern isn't just aesthetic; it provides a non-slip, ergonomic grip that remains secure even when your hands are wet. Combined with the hollow, sand-weighted handle, it creates a perfectly balanced knife that reduces hand fatigue during extended prep sessions.

Cromova 18 is a proprietary stainless steel alloy developed by Global that balances hardness with corrosion resistance. It allows the blades to be ground thinner than most Western knives, resulting in a razor-sharp edge that is easy to maintain and highly resistant to rust.
