7 Global Vegetable Knife

Global knives from Japan have made a significant impact in the culinary world as an innovative alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. These high-tech knives are crafted with hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel blades that are "face-ground" with a long taper to maintain sharpness longer than other knives. The edges are ground at a more acute angle than typical European-style knives, arriving razor-sharp from the factory.

Unlike heavier knives favored by some cooks, Global's original knives are known for their lightweight design. For example, their 7-inch knife is perfect for precisely slicing and chopping vegetables. These knives have thinner blades and lack bolsters to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting sand into the hollow handle, allowing for continuous balance as the blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between the blade and handle enhances safety.

One of the most striking features of Global knives is their stainless-steel handles, which are molded for a comfortable grip and dimpled to prevent slipping. The handles are smaller in circumference than traditional European-style handles, making them ideal for cooks with smaller hands and easy for sanitation.

To maintain the sharpness of Global knives, it is recommended to use a ceramic sharpener or diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel. Additionally, a synthetic whetstone, ceramic whetstone, or Shinkansen sharpener can be used. Global offers a Sharpening Guide Rail for honing blades at the proper angle on a whetstone. It is important to hand wash Global knives to protect their edges, and they come with a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage.

In conclusion, Global knives are a fantastic choice for cooks looking for high-quality, lightweight knives with exceptional sharpness and balance.
