Product description

"Also known as a Nakiri knife. A Japanese-style square-tip knife that is great for chopping meat, root vegetables and big prep jobs. Popular alternative to the Santoku. High tech from tip to handle, Global knives from Japan created a sensation when they burst onto the world's culinary stage as an alternative to traditional European-style cutlery. Blades are made of hard molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel and "face-ground" with a long taper rather than a short bevel so edges remain sharp longer than even the best high-carbon stainless-steel knives. Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global also makes a heavier-weight line for cooks who prefer hefty knives, its original knivesof which this 7-inch knife for precisely slicing and chopping vegetables is an examplehave thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives. Global also dispensed with bolsters on its original knives to reduce weight. Balance is achieved by injecting a precise amount of sand for a particular blade style into a hollow handle. To ensure balance is continuous, the sand flows inside the handle as a blade is maneuvered. A finger notch between blade and handle provides safety. Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. Smaller around than many European-style handles, they're easy for small-handed cooks to grasp and seamless for sanitation. Global recommends using a ceramic sharpener or a diamond steel instead of a metal sharpening steel for its knives, supplemented by a synthetic whetstone, a ceramic whetstone, or a Shinkansen sharpener. Global also makes a Sharpening Guide Rail so blades can be honed on a whetstone at the proper angle. Global knives should be hand washed to protect edges. They carry a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. Fred Brack "

Razor Sharp Edge

The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the GLOBAL edge is truly its signature. The majority of the GLOBAL knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade, just like Western style knives. However, their edges are ground steeply to a point as illustrated in Fig. 1, and to an acute angle. This is in contrast to Western or European knives that use a beveled edge, Fig. 2. The straight edge results in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge on a GLOBAL knife is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter of an inch or more up from the tip of the knife.

Cromova 18 Stainless Steel

CROMOVA 18 is a steel, with a special mixture of molybdenum, vanadium and chromium. The exact combination is our trade secret, but the steel is made to be hard enough so that the knives retain their sharpness, yet soft enough to sharpen with a whetstone. The high chromium content gives the knives excellent resistance to rust and staining.

Functional Design Steeped In Tradition

From its modest inception, GLOBAL has developed into one of the most successful brands of professional kitchen knives in the world. Still crafted by hand in Yoshikin’s factory in Niigata, Japan, GLOBAL knives are manufactured to extremely high and exacting standards. GLOBAL has attracted much acclaim over the years and received numerous awards.

Product description

Chop some delicious carrots and potatoes to go with a roast with this vegetable knife from Global. This knife is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel for long lasting durability and excellent performance. Made from a single piece of steel, it was designed with a convex edge so it easily slices through tougher vegetables. The strength comes from the ice hardening process that reaches a Rockwell degree of C-56-58. Using this knife is easy on the hands because the handle is hollowed then filled with sand for the perfect balance. The handle has the Global iconic dimple design making it slip resistant. This knife is drop forged for heavy use so you can continuously chop tough vegetables with ease.

Edges also are ground at a more acute angle than traditional European-style knives and arrive from the factory razor-sharp. Although Global's original knives have thinner blades and are lighter than traditional European-style knives, Global also makes a heavier-weight line for cooks who prefer hefty cutlery--like this 8-inch vegetable knife, whose broad blade is as thick as a traditional European knife's and is ideal for precisely slicing and chopping vegetables. Global also dispensed with bolsters on most of its knives, including this one. Most Global knives have hollow handles, but the handle on this knife is solid. Stainless-steel handles are Global's most striking feature. They're molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping.

Chop delicious celery and broccoli to fortify any soup with this hollow ground vegetable knife from Global. This knife is made from CROMOVA 18 stainless steel for long lasting durability and excellent performance. Made from a single piece of steel, it is designed with a convex edge for superior edge. The strength comes from the ice hardening process that reaches a Rockwell degree of C-56-58. The edge of the blade has grooves that help food easily slide off. Using this knife is light and easy on the hands thanks to the hollowed handle and compact design. The iconic Global dimple design is on the triangular handle for a non slip grip for comfort when using repetitively. This Japanese knife is perfect for the experienced and beginner cook alike.

5-1/2" L

Meticulously crafted for superior all-around performance, Global's kitchen knives leave no detail unattended. This 5-1/2-inch Hollow Ground vegetable knife is a case in point. The blade is molded from the finest molybdenum/vanadium stainless steel, giving it extraordinary strength as well as rust- and corrosion-free durability. Ground straight to a point and ice-tempered, the cutting edge is extremely precise and maintains its sharpness longer than beveled blades. Oval notches along the sides reduce friction and keep food from clinging as the knife cuts.

Equally as important as the blade, Global's signature handle design offers impeccable quality and balance. Its steel surface is molded to fit the hand and dimpled to resist slipping. It also tapers as it reaches the end, reducing its weight for easier dicing and chopping. Sleeker than many European-style handles, this tool is comfortable for small-handed cooks to grasp. The knife also keeps a trim and light profile by eliminating the bolster and instead balancing the tool with sand injected into the handle that flows as the knife is maneuvered. For optimum sanitation, the tool is constructed completely without seams. This knife is best washed by hand and sharpened with a ceramic sharpener or diamond steel. It carries a lifetime warranty against defects and breakage. --Kara Karll

Product description

This set contains the following Global items: 

- G-56 Global 7 Inch Vegetable Knife w/Granton Edge 

- GS-39 Global 5.5 Inch Vegetable Knife w/Granton Edge 

Each of these items can be viewed individually in the images above. 

Global knives are unique because of their edge and the way they are balanced. The most important feature of any knife is its edge, and the Global edge is truly its signature. The majority of the Global knives are sharpened or ground on both sides of the blade like western style knives. However, their edges are ground straight to a point rather than beveled resulting in a dramatically sharper knife which stays sharper longer. The edge is so large and prominent that it is easily seen with the naked eye and extends a quarter inch or more up from the tip of the knife. 

To balance their knives, Global uses a hollow handle which is then filled with just the right amount of sand to create the correct balance. Global uses this method rather than using a full tang and a bolster to balance their knives for two reasons. First, it is a far more precise than using a tang and a bolster. Second, Asian knives typically do not have bolsters, since they only serve as a hindrance to cutting and sharpening. 

Global knives are made from the finest high carbon stainless steel available for producing professional quality kitchen knives. Yoshikin uses its own proprietary stainless steel which it calls CROMOVA 18 Stainless Steel. This steel is hard enough for Global knives to keep their edge for a long time, but soft enough so that it is not too difficult to sharpen the knives. The CRO in CROMOVA 18 stands for chromium and the 18 is the percentage of chromium in the steel. This high percentage of chromium contributes to Global's good stain resistance.
